BA for wide set breasts? (Photos)

An in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area is your best bet. They can examine your breasts including the base width of your breasts. They can then discuss implant and surgical technique options to obtain more cleavage for you.

The short answer to your question is, the greater the base diameter of the implant, the more cleavage you will get, but of course, at the same time, the more side boob you will also get.  The limitation on the amount of cleavage one can achieve is directly related to where the pectoralis muscle inserts into the sternum in subpectoral implants.  You can get more cleavage with implants on top of the muscle, but this then leads to a greater chance of hard breasts (capsular contracture).  Therefore, if you were my patient, I would recommend you stay in the subpectoral pocket and accept wherever the sternal head of the pectoralis muscle ends.As a sidebar note, your wide breasts and the short distance from your nipples to your inframammary folds would indicate you have tuberous breasts Type II, especially on the left side.  Since breast augmentation of tuberous breasts is a complex subject and requires a well trained Board Certified plastic surgeon, when interviewing plastic surgeons, I would definitely ask to see their before and after pictures of tuberous breast augmentations.  

Thank you for your question! It's best to schedule a one-on-one consultation with a Board Certified Surgeon in your area to discuss your options. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons website will be tool in starting your search. Best of luck! 

Thank you for the question and photos. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you. For patients with a wider breast a moderate plus implant maybe a better option. It is best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Based on your photos, anatomical (tear drop) implants are made of highly
cohesive, form-stable silicone and they will cause your breast tissue to reshape
to fit the implant.  Using this type of implant with the correct width
could crowd the midline and give better cleavage.  Anatomical
form-stable silicone implants are used in women with tubular breasts for this
very reason.  I advise that you seek a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with anatomical implants as well as many other forms of implants in order to get the best opinion.

 

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. Placement of a moderate implant, part way under the muscle should minimize the look of separation and give you a proportionate result. You will always have a wider space between the nipples but cleavage can be kept soft and subtle looking. Talk to a board certified Plastic Surgeon about your concerns and goals in person.All the best

Nikki.   Your photos demonstrate very attractive breasts with slight asymmetry, the left with slight pseudo-ptosis. Submuscular breast augmentation with muscle division medially and moderate profile silicone implants should give you a lovely result, greatly improving the wide set appearance of your breasts. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Thanks for your question and the photos. Your anatomy is well suited for breast augmentation. The distance b/w the nipples can't really be decreased. The width of the sternum, attachment of the muscles and slope of the chest can affect the pocket and implant position. The base diameter of the breast is the most critical part of determining implant options. I prefer to use a Mod Plus style in this scenario rather than a HP implant. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that is an ASAPS member and specializes in cosmetic breast surgery. The Smart Beauty Guide is an excellent resource. Best of Luck!

Closing the gap between your breasts is possible with properly selected implants.  The proper pocket placement is also important to close the gap.  An important step is also to perform an in-person sizing process to be sure your size expectations are realistic and the best implant to accomplish your goals is chosen.

Hello,Your arms are up or back in every photo (not like you would see on a surgeons' website, right?), and this is hiding an important fact: your breasts have ptosis that would benefit from a lift. As for your augmentation, you would be a good candidate for a low height, moderately projecting shaped implant. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that perform augmentation using shaped, form stable implants. Best of luck!
