My Breast Implants Are Too Close Together, Should I Be Worried? (Photo)

While your breasts are spaced a bit close together, your results look pretty good. As a matter of fact, many patients would love to have the cleavage you have! However, if you are unhappy with the results, revision surgery would be the most effective solution to creating a larger space between your breasts and a smaller size. Best of luck.

Symmastia is a condition which can occur when the implants are too close together. Patients often refer to this as a “uniboob.” Also, it is still quite early into your post-op healing stage. Therefore, what you may be experience is swelling which can be mistaken as #symmastia.  If you are not satisfied with your #final #results or if there are any concerns, it's best to consult with your plastic surgeon to further discuss your #options.

It's not unusual for women to be concerned about the size and position of their breast implants following breast augmentation surgery. With the passage of time, swelling and muscle spasm slowly disappears and many of these patients are ultimately happy. In some cases, after an initial period of adjustment, patients are also happy with their implant size.Although your pictures suggest some improvement with the passage of time, you still have several persistent areas of concern. These include implants that aren't centered beneath the nipple areola complexes, inadequate lateral breast fullness and exaggerated cleavage. These findings are consistent with implants that have been positioned too far medially. This gives the impression that the nipple areola complexes sit almost on the side of the breast.Expansion of the lateral breast pocket and possible closure of the medial breast pocket would, hopefully, address most of your concerns. These maneuvers would center the implants beneath the nipple areola complexes, diminish cleavage and improve breast contour. In addition, lateral positioning of the implants might decrease the apparent breast size.If you're still concerned about these problems six weeks after surgery, it's reasonable to consult your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your anatomic findings and achieves your aesthetic goals.

   I must say that your breasts at 3.5 months in the 4th picture look very good and the lateral portion of the pocket expanded a noticeable amount from previous pictures.  See how it goes for another 3 months.   Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

i understand your concerns and I agree. There is not really anything you can do to get the implants to move further apart. You should avoid bras which intentionally push your breasts together, and perhaps wearing a bra 24/7 for another 3 months might help further enlargement of the pocket.
