Is It Possible to Change the Placement of Breast Implants After a Year Without Undergoing Another Surgery?

Question

I had my first breast augmentation a year ago and was curious to know if it was possible to make my breast closer together? I don't like the fact that they are very separated and when I sleep on my back they seem to disappear!! Could I try wearing a tight bra while I sleep to maybe push them together?

William T. Stoeckel, MD · Answer

Trying to change the positioning of a breast implant will require another surgery. You should have another conversation and consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to help determine exactly what can and can not be changed. Compression garments or bras will not have any effect after a year.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Implants that are widely separated cannot be moved closer together without surgery and a pocket revision.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast augmentation revisions each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

You are not going to correct this without surgery. It may be the implants are too far lateral and closing up the pocket will give more cleavage. Bigger implants can also help some.
