I got breast augmentation done in 2007 and I am not happy with them. I think that they are too wide apart and I am not able to crate any cleavage, even with a push up bra. I am now researching a doctor to do my 2nd procedure and would like to know if it is even possible to correct my problem. Currently I have 360cc Saline. What type of implant should I request or what I should I ask the doctors which I am meeting with, to make sure I get what I want this time?
Answer: Cleavage Determined By Anatomy
When determining how close or far apart a patients breasts will be after augmentation, it all depends on their own anatomy. Some women have naturally larger spaces between their breasts, and there is not alot that can be safely done to move them closer. Without examining you it is hard to say, but I wouldbe very cautious of any surgeon who says that they can just cut more inside to move them closer. This can lead to symmastia ( where the implants actually lift up the tissues and touch underneath in the midline) and is very difficult to correct. I hope this helps.

Answer: Your Results Look Great Post-operative cleavage will always be determined by the natural distance that exists between the inner edges of a woman's breasts and the distance between her nipples. When performing breast augmentation, although the implants can be cheated closer together a small amount, they still must be centred more or less beneath the nipples. Placing them elsewhere will lead to an unnatural appearance. This means that patients will have cleavage similar to their natural state even after their augmentation results become visible. Your breasts look great and natural as they are.

Answer: Implants to far apart?
Thank you for the question pictures.
Based on your pictures, I do not believe the implants should be placed any closer to the midline of the chest. Attempting to do so would expose you to a significant risk of implant malposition/symmastia. If anything, your nipple areola complexes are already somewhat off-center suggesting that the breast implants have been placed as medially as possible (maybe even too much).
Best wishes.

Answer: Correcting breast spreading with subfascial
Breast that are too apart is a common complaint of women with sub muscular augmentations. This is one of the reasons I almost exclusively use a subfascialmplane when performing breast augmentation. I use a personal technique called 'cold-subfascial augmentation'. That allows me to create natural appearing teardrop breasts with natural cleavage. Placing implants under the muscle ensures a spreading due to the muscular forces. I hope this helps. All thE best, Rian A. Maercks M.D.

Answer: The dreaded "Uniboob": If you put your implants any closer you risk Synmastia
I would state that I do not think your implants because if you do, you risk the implant pockets communicating and creating the dreaded Uniboob or condition called Synmastia or webbin of the skin.

Answer: Breast implants and cleavage
Hello,
Cleavage is mostly created by a bra and the breasts should not naturally touch. Your breast implants are well positioned and have a natural fingerbreadth space between them. If you desire more fullness medially(to create more cleavage easily in a bra) you may opt for larger implants which can enhance this region. Also fat injection can be performed medially to enhance the soft tissues without replacing the implants.
Some women naturally have more soft tissues medially and so the breasts appear to have more cleavage even without a bra. More often heavier set women have widened breasts that fall closer, but they often suffer less desired droopiness and skin laxity.
