Revision to Have More Cleavage? Is It Possible to Make Breast Implants Closer Together?
Hi There, I had breast implants surgery 6 years- saline, under the muscle- 300 and 340cc's. Everything went ok I must say except he said there is absolutely no way to form the shape of your breast implants, that he just places in the implants and they go naturally to the way your breast is formed. 6 years later... I'd like to have more cleavage. Can you take a look and tell me if it's possible? I appreciate it!

Breast implants and cleavage
In general, breast implants are just pillows and do not move or shape the breast in a cosmetic augmentation. They just fill out what's there. The implant must match the width of the breast in order to be properly positioned behind it so that it looks natural and the tissues are not distorted. The gap of the cleavage should be the same as before the augmentation but the slope (also called cleavage) is steeper depending on the forward fill or profile of the implant. If the pocket created for...

Breast Implants and Cleavage
Every woman has a natural footplate of their breasts. That is, their breast are located either very close together, moderately close together or far apart. The implants will follow the position of the breast. Using larger implants and using silicone implants will improve that somewhat. Occasionally a lift or fat injection can also improve the "wide cleavage" look. Best wishes

Revision to Have More Cleavage?
The answer to your question is "Probably" It really depends on what surface characteristics your implants have and you anatomy, especially the muscle attachments. To get a better answer takes an exam and a look at your operative report from 6 years ago. Find a surgeon near you and get a consultation.

Revision implant surgery for more cleavage
Thank you for your question and the photo. It would probably be inappropriate to give an answer in this forum without fully examining you.

For your best interest, I advise you see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and a clear discussion of what you want and what can be...

Revision to Have More Cleavage? Is It Possible to Make Breast Implants Closer Together?
To achieve more clevage you could go with a larger implant with a wider base. Implant width sizes come in high profile which is a smaller base then moderate and moderate plus has the wides base. This will help create more clevage.

Improving cleav age after breast augmentation
Thank you for your quetion. The photo included shows your breasts pushed together. Is this the cleavage you are looking for or is this what you do not like? It would be helpful to see the breasts in their natural state to see and evaluate the cleavage area. It is difficult to give any general advise based on this photo. One way one might improve cleavage is with fat grafting to the medial breasts over the implants. See yor plastic surgeon and find out if he/she feels comfortable doing this...

Creating more Cleavage with Revisionary Breast Surgery?
Thank you for the question.
Unfortunately, without direct examination and a full communication of your goals it is not possible to give you precise advice.
Generally speaking, if you find that your breast implants move too far to the side when you are upright or lying down then breast revision surgery may help in improving the positioning of the breast implants. Internal sutures (capsulorrhaphy) techniques may be necessary to help keep the breast implants closer to the...
