Implants Too Far Apart? (photo)
I am a male to female trans and am NOT on any hormone treatment. I had implants in June, the surgeon used 445cc high profile textured implants. Post op I noticed there was a large gap between implants. My first review I mentioned this and was told that my nipples were quite far apart and also I have a wide sternum. I was told to wait 6 months for them to drop and fluff, I still cant see how the gap will be closed up. If this is the case what are my options to have the gap made smaller? Mandy

Your implants are not too far apart; you have the "wrong" implants.
Thanks for including photos; they really help us give useful information! Your pre-operative photo shows a very thin, muscular chest with prominent ribs medially. Your post-op photograph shows immobile (textured) implants centered properly beneath each nipple/areola complex. Unfortunately, the diameter of your implants is too narrow, and your wide gap between implants (cleavage) allows the ribs to draw the eye to this area. Though a push-up bra might help somewhat, the textured surface...

Implants Too Far Apart?
I find that these implants are positioned correctly behind the nipples and areolas, They are more widely separated that desired because the nipples and areolas are also. I doubt much will change over the next two month but I agree that it does make sense to wait.
At that time, consider switching to a lower profile implant (moderate or moderate plus) to get more centralization. I'm looking at a US product sheet, so it looks like the same volume with a moderate profile implant...

Large Gap Between Implants
Thank you for the question and the pictures. Looking at your pre operative photos your nipples were already wide to begin with. The implants are in the right position, just not wide enough to fill the gap. Implants are placed so that in essence the center of the implant is behind the nipple. If the implants were to be placed closer, so as to diminish the space between the breasts, your nipples will be "pushed" further outwards. It appears that you require a larger implant of lower profile so...

You are probably a better candidate for MP type implants
Hello,
Thank you for the question and photos. Your implant width is narrower than your proposed post op breast width. To achieve better cleavage and less "gap" between your breasts you will need to have your current breast implants exchanged from HP to MP.
All the best,

Implants too far apart
Cleavage is not created by implants only by a bra. Larger implants will usually migrate laterally with time.

Hello
To start with your nipples hah a big gap before surgery. After surgery the gap will remain. The only other thing you can do is get bigger implants to get cleavage.
