I have had a breast enlargement here in the UK, small frame and reasonably tall. Used to be 32aa and asked to go up to about a C cup, my surgeon inserted 300cc high profile cohesive gel implants, behind the muscle.Although I am happy with the results and feel it was a good job, i wish they could appear slightly closer together, i struggle to get a good cleavage and in bikini tops for example, I can hardly see any outline of my breasts as they are far apart.Is there anything that can be done such as a slightly wider implant? or go much bigger without risking looking top heavy and the implants starting to hang low, as I prefer the more high and perky look to suit my frame. Any advice would be appreciated.
Answer: Be careful what you wish for Breast implants should be centered on the nipple-areolar complex. If they are placed too far to the center, the breasts will appear off-center.

Answer: Can breast implants be placed to make my breasts look closer together? Thank you for your question. A patients pre-operative anatomy and intramammary distance will largely dictate the amount of cleavage that a patient can reasonably expect to achieve post-op. Breast implants are placed with the nipple-aerolar complex as the center point. If placed, using any other landmark as the center point, a patient's implants will appear off-centered and unnatural. Some patients, like yourself, will ask whether a larger diameter or wider implant would help to achieve more cleavage if they have wide set breasts, but I believe that in most cases this is a mistake unless a patients anatomy deems that diameter implant appropriate. Placing too wide of an implant can cause symmastia, or a 'uniboob,' and is a post-op complication that is very difficult to successfully correct. Unfortunately, you cannot successfully change the height of a patients breast or the width of a patients breast or where the breast sits on a patients chest with a breast implant. While sometimes implants will help to make things appear closer together or lifted, this is not always the reality and should be thoroughly discussed pre-operatively and at the time of a consultation. I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon to discuss your concerns and any options that may be available to you. Best of luck!

Answer: Cleavage After Breast Implants Depends on What You Naturally Have 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.

Answer: Achieving cleavage If you would like to achieve or improve your cleavage, you may need to remove and replace your current implants with ones with a wider diameter. I suggest moderate plus profile implants to maintain a perky look but also achieve better cleavage. It is very important that you find a board certified plastic surgeon to perform your revisionary surgery.

Answer: Be careful with creating cleavage with breast implants! The implants have to be centered under your breast and must have the same width as your breast. If the pockets are made too close to one another in an effort to create cleavage, the implants can touch one another, creating symmastia. This is very unnatural and difficult to correct.
