my breasts are extremely wide spaced, something that I'm not too sure augmentation will even slightly correct. I'm a pretty realistic person and am definitely not expecting anywhere close to perfection, but if I'm going to spend all this money, I hope the results would make a difference ( for the better) I know I'm on the severe end of "bad" and not like those girls who get BA with small and perky breasts, so I'm not too sure if there's even hope for me. Any insight would be much appreciated.

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. With that being said, based on your photographs, you are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.

Answer: Breast Augmentation for Wide Breasts Abby. First off, your breasts are not that bad!!! Yes there is modest ptosis with slight asymmetry and they are somewhat wide apart, but their overall shape is quite pleasing! You need to look at the big picture with regards to breast augmentation. If your only desire is trying to get your breasts closer together, then breast augmentation may not be for you. However, if you desire to increase their size and plump up their shape, then you should consider it. Check out the link below for a more comprehensive description of the breast augmentation process. As always, Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Wide space between breasts. You are already ahead of the game by understanding your anatomy and potential limitations. Yes, the space is slightly wider than average, but that does not mean the distance cannot be narrowed. It can be narrowed to a degree using wide implants and making sure the pocket is dissected towards the center, to a limit. The key here is selecting a surgeon with experience and training that we will dissect the pocket and implant wide enough, but not go so far as to release the muscle, and risk symmastia. Do your research and find a skilled surgeon.Best of luck! Dr. SubbioBoard-Certified Plastic SurgeonNewtown Square/Philadelphia, PA
