How can the big gap in between breast after surgery be avoided?

Thank you for your question.  What you are referencing is the cleavage which is determined by your anatomy.  If the surgeon were to dissect more towards the middle of your chest in attempt to close the gap, your breasts will look unnatural due to your nipples migrating outwards.  Please be seen in person by a board certified plastic surgeon to determine what you could realistically expect from surgery.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

The key in preventing an unnecessary gap between your breasts is to have your surgery performed by a board certified plastic surgeon who understands the variations in breast and chest wall anatomy and how best to treat them. At your in depth consultation, be sure and review your specific anatomy with your PS and ask whether your breast and muscle anatomy will allow you to have the cleavage you desire. Also ask what options you have, if your anatomy restricts your ability to have cleavage with breast augmentation. Good luck

There are a couple of options if you have a wide breast bone and a large gap between your breasts. If your implants are placed behind the muscle, the muscle needs to be left attached to the breast bone. So to decrease the distance, fat grafting can be performed. If the implants are in front of the muscle, the implants may be able to be placed closer together, but fat grafting can still improve the gap. Good luck!

This is a very good question.  It really depends on your body framework, and the type of implant you choose.  It is important to get an idea such as the Vectra imaging to help give you a visual on how you will look post operatively.  The gap between the breasts does not necessarily depend on the initial breast size.  I suggest you find a board certified plastic surgeon that will go over your options, different types of implants available on the market, and make the right decision for you.  Good luck

The best way to consider this is to realize that the surgeon has minimal control over your natural cleavage width. The cleavage is determined by many anatomical factors which cannot be manipulated surgically. You should discuss this with a board-certified plastic surgeon to understand what are realistic expectations.

Thank you for your question. Your cleavage and gap between two breasts is determined by your anatomy and to some extent choice of implants and your surgeon's implant pocket dissection. It has to be balanced carefully since too aggressive of dissection or release of muscles more towards the middle of your chest in attempt to close the gap will look unnatural due to your nipples migrating outwards. A skilled surgeon is often able to give you a narrow gap unless you have far wide attachment/insertion of your muscles and rib cage anatomy. I highly recommend a thorough consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and concerns.

To truly answer your question, you would have to be examined in person. There are many factors to consider when choosing an implant, but one of the hardest is balancing a patient's desired outcome with the physical limitations of your individual body. I would suggest that you schedule an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss your options. Make sure to bring pictures with you of breasts that you like so that the doctor has a clear idea of your ideal aesthetic. 

This is really dependent upon your own anatomy. Some patients have a very wide and prominent sternum and unfortunately, no matter how medial the breast pocket is developed, the implant cannot sit very medially. Best to see a board certified surgeon who takes the time to properly examine and evaluate you and determine the best size implant based upon your measurements and desires. Good luck!

Hello thisisme. There are limits to what can be done for cleavage. The only way to educate you on these limits for your situation would be to perform a physical examination and to measure your breasts. Ways to improve cleavage in my practice include the use of breast implants wider than the breast base and using bigger volume. I also prefer MemoryShape breast implants because the silicone is highly cross linked, maintains its shape and creates the best cleavage I've seen. Best wishes, Dr. ALDO.

Thank you for your excellent question, and I can understand your apprehension.  Though there are surgical techniques to help narrow the gap between a woman's breasts, there is a limitation based on a woman's natural anatomy, namely the width of her breastbone.  I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person evaluation.  With the measurement of key breast parameters, and selection of an implant that best matches your beginning anatomy, you should be able to obtain a natural appearing breast enhancement.
