Breast Augmentation with Prominent Sternum?

July 25, 2009
Asked By:Mayflower in US

I had a consultation on Breast Augmentation. I have a prominent sternum, and my nipples are slightly to the side. I asked the doctor if it's possible to have some nice cleavage after Breast Augmentation.He proposed to keep the Breast implants centered under the nipples, but extend the pockets a little bit toward the center of the chest, so when I put on my bra, I can have some nice cleavage. I wonder what complication this would cause? Should I still ask for a cleavage?I want a safe BA that would cause the least complication and lowest risk possible both in the short and long term.
