I am currently 3 days post-op & am very worried about the gap in between my breast. They are still very swollen. The gap is raised about 1cm off the chest wall and at least an inch away from each other . I would like to know whether after the swelling goes if it will result in a nice cleavage & come closer together? Or stay the same width? I have attached a before & after pic for you to review. I am so worried. - Breast Aug 21st October 2014 - 295cc Silicone - 5'1", 43kgs - 21 Years Old
Answer: SWELLING AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION At three days post op, you still have significant swelling. Over the next few weeks the swelling resolve and you will have a better idea of what your final result will look like. I recommend giving your body more time to recover and to let your breasts settle around your implants. If later on down the road you are still unhappy with your cleavage, perhaps a revision could be done or your implants exchanged. Be sure to follow your plastic surgeon’s post operative instructions carefully as they are designed to help minimize recovery time and help you achieve an optimal result.Be well and good luck!@norrisplastic

Answer: Gap between breasts after augmentation Congratulations on your surgery. Swelling is usually at its greatest, days three to five after surgery and then it can take several months for your implants to settle before you see the final result. Breast implants must be placed in a balanced manner under the nipple position, not more outwards or more inwards. I advise my patients that the "gap" following breast implants will depend on the chest wall shape and nipple position existing prior to surgery. In your situation, a tighter cleavage would only be possible if larger or wider implants were inserted. This may, however, not be appropriate for your general breast breast base width. It is very early days but if you have serious concerns you should discuss these with your surgeon.
