Can my cleavage be made wider? What are my options? 11 months post breast aug. (photo)

Question

I had a breast lift with augmentation in January of this year and since have been told I need revision surgery due to bottoming out, scar stretching and implants moved. So in my appointment I asked if I could have an internal bra to stop the bottoming out happening and if I could have my chest wall stitched to create a wider cleavage. My main concern is my cleavage due to have next to no gap. Is this achievable and if so what are my options to create a finger width gap?

Dear Sensible9669,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

If you go down in size and have your inner pockets tightened, the cleavage could be widened. However, I suspect you naturally have a narrow cleavage.
