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: 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!

Answer: Create cleavage with Benelli mini lift or Bellesoma Lift Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your bra size. However, there are 2 ways to change breast position on the chest wall. One is a modification of the Benelli technique, which uses a circumareola incision. It is possible to reshape the breast tissue, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The other is for more ptotic breasts called The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. These procedures do not change breast volume. If you want additional volume then you can place small implants or fat transfers. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
