Breast Implants: Q&A

Why Are the Sides of my Breasts (1 Yr Post Surgery) Still Firm/tight?
Hello, I have had 2 surgeries on my breasts, both enhancing with silicone implants. My latest one, we put 600 cc. I have a large frame 6'1'' with a wide chest bone. I love the way my breasts look; however, it is difficult to "push together" my breasts from the sides for cleavage. They feel soft, and I can move them freely, except from the far sides. They are stiff and do not want to move center. They are further to the sides, but that is due to the size (dr said), why cant I push them together

Cannot Push Breasts Together
Breasts that cannot be pushed together are probably the result of breasts that had a wide space before surgery and a space after surgery. Hard to say without pictures.

Cleavage is not "natural"
You have large implants, which may be perfectly appropriate for you, given your frame. However, your ribcage anatomy may just not allow you to push those implants together, and that's not likely to change. Love them as they are, if you can :)

Can't Create Cleavage
Without a before and after picture it is difficult to say. It might be because your breast are naturally wide and the implants typically do not go wider toward the center than the natural boundary.

No cleavage?
Obtaining good cleavage after breast augmentation is often related to your anatomy especially when the implants are placed under the muscle.

Why Are the Sides of my Breasts (1 Yr Post Surgery) Still Firm/tight?
It is hard to try to answer without an in person exam, but impossible without a photo. There are many women in whom it is just not possible to achieve cleavage. If the implants breasts are naturally wide apart, implants will not bring them closer together. For under the muscle implants, which is done by most surgeons, the implants can't move further than where the pectoral muscle attached to the breastbone, and that is at least a one inch separation, often more.

Breasts Firm/Tight after Breast Augmentation?
Thank you for the question, but it is very difficult to answer it without direct examination. Despite best efforts, online consultants can only speculate; you'll be best off, if you wish additional opinions, seeing board certified plastic surgeons in your area (second opinions).
Best wishes.
