Do I have gap between pecs or depressed sternum?

Unknowuser123Dec 28, 2014
Hi Doctor, I was wandering about my pecs shape and observing some gap and depressed sternum in between though not sure it is. i have uploaded photographs of my body below. By looking at the photographs could you tell me do I have slightly depressed sternum or is it just because belly is out that's why it looks like that. Is there any exercise to correct this?

Your pictures are small and difficult to see.  If your implant seems to be exposed in the armpit area, it is possible that an incorrect size was chosen.  With pectoral implants it is crucial that the dimensions fit you well.

Thanks for your question. The solid silicone implant is not has hard as bone, nor as soft as gel implants. Patients often say the implants feel like they are flexing their own muscle. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck
