After looking at pictures of breast implant results, I think I want to go for a round silicone implant, but I'm not too sure what profile I should go for, for a softer cleavage look. I have attached some pictures (Blake Lively) of what the soft cleavage i'm talking about. I'm not sure if it's low profile, or moderate or moderate plus. I think her cleavage is just perfect, and exactly what i'm looking for. It's very soft and beautiful. I hope I can get an answer from you. Thank you!

For cleavage - proper pocket dissection and adequate implant size.

The most important considerations do not have to do with the type of implant. The first is size. If you want cleavage, you need to have a large size. The second important consideration is that your surgeon knows just how much to release the muscle (it should be submuscular to give a soft, natural look). If he or she underreleases it, the implants will remain separated by a gap of an inch or so (a U shaped cleavage). If it's overreleased, synmastia is... more

Implants for soft cleavage

Yikes, I sure get nervous when patients use a celebrity as an example of their desired result! I much prefer a woman to go online and find a breast augmentation patient who is similar age, size and build and who has had a result that the woman finds attractive. Ms. Lively is famous in part because she is so attractive and most of that attractiveness has to do with youth and genetics and probably a good personal trainer (and maybe some photographic airbrushing)... more

Implant profile

I think that you've already made a good choice by going with the round silicone gel implant for the softer look. The profile may not be as important as you think. The volume however will determine the type of cleavage you will end up with. I prefer to use a high profile gel for more projection, but I always make sure that the volume will be enough to give the patient a nice cleavage line.

Best implants for a "soft cleavage" look?

There are many types of implants that can achieve this. A board certified plastic surgeon will take into account your breast shape, size, width, separation, and amount of tissue to help you select the best implant for your goals. Another option is fat grafting or fat injections to the breast, which result in a very natural look.

The best implant profile for the look you want

It is very difficult to determine which implant is best for you without an examination, since a great deal depends on what you have to start with. An alternative to implants is fat grafting. This gives the most natural look of all, and may be a good option for you as well.
