5’3 114 pounds 32 (a cup) Also does your pocket go all the way to the chest bone or do doctors stop dissecting the pocket before the bone? How wide do you think my cleavage will be compared to my wish pictures
Answer: Cleavage? The spacing of the breast (cleavage) is defined by the pocket. The pocket is defined by the plane of augmentation. When placed submuscular, the medial/middle limit is the sternal origin of the muscle. Wide sternum = greater separation of the breasts = less dramatic cleavage. This space can be narrowed (with some risk of symmastia) when the devices are placed subglandular or "over" the muscle. There is no muscle obstructing a medial push, however, there is a higher risk of over-dissection and mid-line migration of the implant (the dreaded "uni-boob"). Alternatively fat grafting can be used to build up tissue volume in the central aspect over the muscle creating the illusion of cleavage. However, as with any fat grafting procedure, the results can be unpredictable based on graft take vs. resorption.Based upon your photos, you do not appear to have widely spaced breasts and should obtain a very nice result. As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Answer: I think you will have nice cleavage. Your anatomy is such that you should have good cleavage after a breast augmentation. This is because you don't have a large space between your breasts pre operatively. A breast augmentation will make this even better. Good luck with your surgery, Dr. T

Answer: Cleavage Great question and photos!Taking a look at your photos, you have probably have less separation than most of the patients plastic surgeons see. So, I expect you to get a great result.In order to get the best cleavage possible, you and your surgeon will have to work together:1) Take your wish photos to your Plastic Surgeon, so that he can see if he can meet your expectations.2) Go through a sizing process with your surgeon to determine what sizes you are comfortable with.3) Your surgeon will examine you and measure your chest to determine what width (profile) of the size you chose will maximize your cleavage.During surgery, experienced Plastic surgeons will create a pocket up to the level of the sternum (chest bone) to maximize cleavage but not cause synmastia ("uniboob"). This process is very important and its successful outcome is usually tied with the years of experience the plastic surgeon brings to the table. That is why finding an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon is important.In your case, you might get close to the results you are hoping for. You might not get the exact cleavage in all the pictures, but you should have a very satisfactory outcome.Good Luck!

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast augmentation. You will have improved cleavage, without a large gap. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. This entire surgery can be performed with a small incision technique. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Cleavage Dear 5050VL,Many women seek improved cleavage. Narrowing the cleavage plane can be done very carefully by a skilled surgeon. Moving the implants too far medially can result in synmastia or unaboob which is very difficult to correct. That being said, the right amount of pocket dissection and implant selection can create excellent cleavage. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
