Im female 5,3 inches and weigh 8stone 12. I had implant exchange with uplift in march originally my implant was much larger but the surgeon who performed this surgery said they were too big and he chose the size of current implant. I have no cleavage unless wearing a bra I do not feel good in a bikini and feel rather flat chested now. And it gets worse when laying flat I have a nice fullness on the outer side but no cleavage and it seems to be flat in between breasts and a gap.
