I am looking to get a breast augmentation however I am unsure of which option would be best for my specific needs. My ultimate goal of having this procedure is to improve my cleavage because my breasts seem too spaced apart and wide. I don't know which profile would be better for my given situation. Should I select low, moderate, moderate plus, or high. I went to a consultation and the doctor said high, do you feel this is a good option? I included a picture. 26Y/O 120lbs 5'2" I'm thinking 400cc
Answer: Moderate profile breast implants with periareolar lift Thank you for your question, while it is difficult to give you precise advice online, in general a moderate Profile Implant will give you more cleavage for the same size implant. I would likely recommend for you to undergo at least a circumareolar and areolar reduction at the same time. You would need an in person examination as well as under go Vectra 3-D imaging simulation for different type and size implants. You may even be a candidate for the new Sientra cohesive gel round base shaped implants.

Answer: More cleavage with simultaneous lift The best way to achieve maximum cleavage is implantation and a lift.I recommend a new technique called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast Lift™.Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Aligning the areola, breast tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection with a minimal size implant.Small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.400 cc implants are large, will descend inferiorly and laterally resulting in loss of cleavage.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breasts augmentation and mini lift with nice cleavage Dear Jlonhert, Thanks for submitting your picture. In the picture, you appear to be small A cup with level 2 ptosis ( saggyness ) and large areolas. It is frustratingly confusing to read all the different opinions in regard to your questions. So, the best thing for you to do is due diligence. Check as many websites as you can and find a surgeon that has many before and after pictures of breasts augmentation that are consistent and attractive in your eyes and worthy of your trust. In my opinion, which is based on 27 years of practice and thousands of breasts augmentation surgeries, your best option is sub muscular augmentation with mini lift . That will give you nice and perky breasts with smaller and more attractive areolas. As far as size, a full C cup is very natural , attractive and popular. Since you did not provide your chest circumference, let's assume that you are 32 small A cup. To bring you to a 32 full C cup, you will need implants with a volume of, roughly, 375 cc. For a 34 full C you will need 450 cc implants. In regard to cleavage, it has nothing to do with the implants. It all depends on the meticulous dissection of the muscles that are attached to the chest bone. That is why the sub areola entry for the pocket creation is the best for beautiful cleavage since it is done under direct vision and digital feel. Always, consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeon who operates in accredited surgery center for your safety. Check also the 'realself' reviews for positive patients experience which provides important information on the surgeons. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Cleavage A wider profile implant and larger size may achieve some cleavage in you. You have some elements of a tuberous breast. A implant placed over the muscle may be preferable with you. You may need a circumareolar reduction to improve you breast shape as well.I do tell patients that desire cleavage that cleavage while naked is somewhat uncommon naturally. Women usually need to wear garments to push the breasts together to achieve cleavage, so that the breasts have a natural shape.Best wishes for your surgery.

Answer: Cleavage after surgery Your question is a good one. Many patients ask about this. In general, there are several factors that limit the cleavage you can obtain. Among these is your underlying anatomy, which can only be evaluated with a physical examination by a a board certified plastic surgeon. Another factor is the dimensions of the implant that you choose. Again, this is something that is determined by a physical examination, so your best option is to see a board certified plastic surgeon to get answers to your questions.
