Breast Implants to Minimize Gap Between Breasts on a Wide Chest?

One of the
most important decisions facing breast augmentation patients is the size of
breast implants that will be used.Most
patients are striving for harmony, balance, and proportion with the surrounding
anatomic structures.Typically, they
want a natural look with some fullness in the upper breast area.Patient consultation is the starting
point for their decision and every effort should be made to have good
communication.Most patients tend to
talk in terms of cup size.Unfortunately,
cup size isn’t always helpful because manufacturers of bras label their
products differently and women don’t always wear their bras the same way.In other words, some women wear their bras
snugly, while others wear them loosely.This creates communication problems when talking cup size.In an effort to determine breast
size in a more objective manner, we utilize external silicone sizers and the
Vectra 3D computer imaging system.External silicone sizers are designed to sit on top of the patient’s breasts.They can be held against the patient’s chest
or placed inside the patient’s bra.This
technique helps the patient visualize what their breasts will look like with a
specific sized implant.It also gives
them a sense of the volume that will sit on their chest wall and how it feels.The 3D Vectra imaging system is a
relatively new technology that we have found to be extremely helpful for
determining breast implant size.This
system allows a patient to visualize different sized implants on their actual
body.Patients find this to be extremely
helpful.The ability to visualize your
projected surgical result alleviates much of the anxiety associated with this
procedure.We feel that both the use of
external silicone sizers and the 3D Vectra imaging system accomplishes this
goal.It’s important to remember that
final adjustments in the size of breast implants will ultimately be made in the
Operating Room, depending upon anatomic factors.

Post-operative cleavage will depend on your pre-surgery cleavage. You have wide-set breasts, which means you'll probably continue to have wide-set breasts after surgery. However, while you may have a bit of improvement, it may not be as much as you want. Unfortunately, your surgeon can only do so much to give you cleavage before it looks abnormal, since the implants have to remain centred underneath your nipples.
