I want to get a breast augmentation, but I've seen a lot of women get one and have a gap in the middle. I've also heard of people having to go back multiple times to get rid of the gap, which I think would make me reconsidering getting implants all together. Is it possible to avoid this and get cleavage after your first surgery?
Answer: Breasts The gap in the middle depends upon your anatomy. Some women have a narrow gap and will have nice cleavage, and some women are very wide and never will have cleavage. The bases of your breasts cannot be moved.

Answer: Some spacing between the breasts is normal It is natural to have some spacing between each breast. This space is overlying the sternum and plays an important role in the aesthetics of the breast. If this space is dissected and the breast implants placed too medial, the patient will have the unfortunate complication of symmastia. This being said If the breast implants are placed too lateral, there will be too large of a gap which is likely what you are referring to. If the breast implant pocket is appropriately dissected, and the proper implant size is selected, it will be easy for a patient to have an aesthetically pleasing cleavage area in a well selected bra and top. Breast augmentation is a common surgery that we do in our practice. Please see the attached link for more information on this topic.

Answer: Yes, with an asterisk Great question! Yes, it is possible to minimize the gap in the first operation, though how much will depend on your own anatomy and the type of procedure. The "gap" is dependent on a couple of things, mostly how wide apart your breasts and pectoralis muscles are. For under the muscle breast augmentation, you can only get as close as the muscles will allow (you don't want to detach the pec muscles!). For subfascial breast augmentation, you can get a little closer but are still limited by the fascia over the muscles. To get any closer, you need fat grafting which can be done at the time of the first procedure, but sometimes another round may be needed or wanted later.
