Breast implant replacement for better cleavage?

I was a 34A and have a wider space between my breasts and I wanted more cleavage so I went with Saline implants hp460cc. At first I had wonderful high cleavage, now 1 year later I have to wear a push bra.

The whole point for me getting them was so I didn't have to wear a bra for cleavage! So should I have gone bigger?

A: Implant width is the answer

I agree with Dr Yuan. There is just one point he did not make. Regardless of the width or diameter of the implant, you can not cheat the implants in closer to gain more cleavage. The implants need to centered directly under the nipple. If a surgeon tries to move the implants too close to the midline and the... more

Because you are quite small to begin with and you have a wide space between your breasts, the implants have to do all the work to get you the cleavage you desire. That makes the width of the implants more important than the volume. You  need to measure the... more
