My Current implants 450cc HP. Will bigger implants give me closer cleavage or will i still continue to be wide set and just protrude more to the sides? This was the biggest my surgeon would let me go although it’s not really the result I was wanting. In the process of booking a check up/ consult for revision for double bubble and wanting a few opinions here I go back in to see my surgeon.

Answer: Getting more cleavage with larger implants Hi and thank you for the question. You can get more cleavage a few ways. First, you can use larger implants or a similar size implant but with a wider base (ie you could change from a high profile 400 to a moderate profile 400 which is wider but same volume). Next, you could use the same implants but open the medial (inside) pocket to let the implant move closer to the midline. You can also use sutures on the outer part of the pocket to help push the implants over to the midline. The thing you need to watch out for is getting improvement in the cleavage, but at the expense of making your nipples look like they are sitting on the outside edge of your breasts - the more you move an implant to the midline, the more the nipples can look like they are on the side of the breasts. I would discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. If you don't get a good answer go see 2-3 more plastic surgeons who have great reputations for cosmetic breast surgery. Best of luck. Dr West

Answer: Implant revision Hi KG2302, thanks for your question. Just adding a larger implant is probably not the way to go to fix your wide-set breasts and improve cleavage. This has more to do with the adjusting the position of the pocket for the implant. This may be able to be changed, but a physical exam would be necessary to tell for sure. Best of luck with your upcoming consultation!
