Are my breasts uneven and do I lack cleavage? How can this be improved? (Photo)

Question

For context, I’m 15 months post op and got 400cc on each side since breast tissue was very symmetrical. The implants were placed in a dual plane which I didnt mind since I told the surgeon my main goal with this was to have cleavage. But I feel like my implants from the front dont look like 400cc (even though they look great from the side)? I also feel like I lack cleavage and that one of my implants is actually rounder than the other one. What would you advise to achieve my dream result?

Dear Intuitive692167,

I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

This can be improved by using fat transfers in the medial area of the breasts to give more cleavage.  The other alternative is to go back in, release the capsule medially and have the breast more towards the midline.  However, this can result in symmastia.

Best Wishes,

It’s common to feel that implants look different from the front compared to the side, especially when they’re placed in a dual plane position. Based on your description, it sounds like the implants are sitting too high, and the inframammary fold was placed higher than ideal. This can create a lack of cleavage and an asymmetrical appearance.

Dr. Caner Kaçmaz’s recommendation would be to:

Replace the implants with the same size (400cc) to maintain the desired volume.

Lower the inframammary fold to provide a more natural breast position and improve cleavage.

Reposition the implants above the muscle, which can enhance cleavage and provide a fuller look from the front.

This approach will help achieve a more balanced, symmetrical, and natural-looking result while maintaining the desired cleavage and volume. Let us know if you’d like to arrange a consultation with Dr. Caner to discuss further.
