I feel like I have no volume near breast bone, most volume is out towards my armpits. Do they look malpositioned? What can fix this?
Answer: Nice Result I think that you look great. There is a limit to how close the implants can be near the breastbone because the tissue there is thin and no one wants to see the edge of the implant in the cleavage area. Sometimes the implants will have a tendency to fall towards the armpits when a patient is lying flat; that problem can sometimes be corrected by closing off the pocket so that the implants don't go there, but that would require additional surgery and from the photos it does not seem like that issue is a problem.Best Wishes.

Answer: Cleavage in Breast Augmentation Your underlying anatomy is the major determinant on how much cleavage or how much medialization you can achieve. The shape of your chest, where your muscles insert on the sternum and where your natural breast mound lies, all play a roll in how much can be done safely. From your pictures, your implants appear to be in the natural breast footprint so I would agree it is a good result. Dissecting the pocket medially too aggressively, whether it is placed above or bellow the muscle, can result in significant complications. Thank you for the question!

Answer: Explant and The Bellesoma Lift In your pre-op photograph, your breasts hang too low and lateral. Simply adding implants make the problem even more noticeable. The added weight of the implant will make the breasts droop even further and require revision. The technique I recommend is explanation using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery. At the same time or later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Cleavage Patients must understand the limits of the surgery. Implants will not create cleavage in the sense that they cannot medialize wide or lateral set breasts. The implants will be centered on your native breast mound which may seemingly worsen the wide set nature of the breasts without actually changing the measurements. It is often helpful to think of breast augmentation as a magnifying glass or IMAX screen where all aspects of the breast are enlarged (+) and (-).

Answer: 8 months post breast augmentation- are my breasts malpositioned? Where implants should be placed is determined by your underlying anatomy. These implants are centred perfectly behind your nipples which means they’re definitely not malpositioned. You have naturally wide set apart breasts which will limit how much cleavage you can get without a push-up bra. A lift might help a little bit however there’s only so much that can be changed with surgery. The only way to know for sure is to book a consultation with the breast revision expert in your area to be examined. Hope that helps!
