Any way I can get my boobs to sit wider? (Photo)

Magicmagic123May 6, 2022

I had a breast augmentation revision 2 years ago to swap out 15 year old implants with smalller ones. I also had a lift at the time. After this last surgery I noticed my cleavage is especially close together- and it has always sat close but it's closer now than ever. I was very concerned about sternum separation and tho I'm content, when I put on a bathingsuit I'm very self conscious. My question is, is there anything low-risk that can be done to get them to sit wider?

Dear Fierce731836, breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective...

Your revision last year sounds like a Dr. Seuss 'push me pull you' situation. He performed an inferior capsulorrhaphy (to treat double bubble) but also increased the size of your implants and scored the breast crease area (where he just tightened with the capsulorrhaphy), both of which would...

The lollipop technique you underwent only pulls side to side and does not create a vertical lift. Also, 500 cc implants weigh 1 lb each and they loaded down the effect of the lift. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your...

The dual plane technique cuts the attachment of the pectoralis major muscle and the weight of the implants is only held by the skin envelope. You need explant or smaller implants with plication of the pockets. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Thank you for your question. During the revision surgery, the pocket on lateral side should be partially closed, while medial side space, if it’s closed should be opened. Moreover, to make inframammary span tighter and the cleavage looking more natural, I would recommend performing fat graft o...

Are my implants bottoming out? MTF

Dear Jtiff89, bottoming out occurs when the implant falls below the current breast crease or inframammary line. It's more likely to happen with inframammary incisions, which is why I try not to use the inframammary approach to any breast surgery. Bottoming out can also occur if an implant is too...
