Of course, all results depend heavily on a patients original anatomy, but I have seen many reviews where the shape of breasts (as well as their proximity to one another) changes quite drastically, and in other cases the results look like an exact replica of the original anatomy, but bigger. What strategies can surgeons use to work around a patients anatomy to bring breasts closer together? I'm also curious about changing the nipple to crease distance. Thanks!

Answer: Breast augmentation In primary breast augmentation, the pocket can be dissected with space in the upper pole and parasternal area with limiting the lateral dissection to hold the implant more centrally. In secondary breast augmentation. the pocket can be adjusted with sutures or a biologic such as Strattice to hold the implant more medially.

Answer: What strategies do you as surgeons use to create cleavage/bring breasts closer together? Cleavage is the result of the width of one's chest bone. You cannot bring the breasts over it or you will risk symmastia (joined breasts). However, cleavage can be reduced to some extent by placing a larger implant with wider diameter, fat grafting or artificially creating it with a push up bra! Women sometimes like to show some cleavage in an evening gown or low cut neck T-shirt. If you have a wide chest bone and cannot have a narrow cleavage, then this is the safest way that I recommend to my patients after the optimal augmentation and respecting the anatomical boundaries.Best of luck and be safe!
