Should I get implants if my breasts are too far apart? (Photo)

I think you are a good candidate for breast implants, even if your nipples are slightly far apart. The implants will improve the volume, shape, cleavage, side fullness, etc. In order to keep the nipples fairly centered on the implants, the surgeon will need to give you fairly significant lateral fullness ("side boob") and a much narrower, but not EXTREMELY narrow, distance between the breasts. As long as the implants sit fairly well centered behind the nipples, you should have a nice result.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. Having breasts far apart does not prevent you from having a nice result. Just know that after surgery, your breast gap will remain and that is ok and natural. Avoid the urge to try to correct this at the time of surgery as this is fraught with bad outcomes. Make sure you choose the right implant to match your breast (Ideal implant is completely fine and a great choice for saline implants) and rely on the expertise of your board certified (ABPS) plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Hello there 
The implants have to go where your breasts are or else they will look strange .
There is no easy way to get your breasts closer together , but in similar cases I have improved things by using a wider implant than I would normally suggest , and encouraging massage/compression post-op to expand the breast towards the cleavage . It's not a perfect solution but it usually helps .
An option that is worth considering is using fat grafting to build up the cleavage area . That is probably the only way you will get more breast shape towards the midline . Combining this with implants should give you a nice result .

Dear angelajan,Breast implant type and sizing selection is a complicated process and requires a detailed consultation that includes a discussion of your goals, a detailed examination, and a lengthy discussion. But the decision will always start and end with the patient. When it comes to sizing, we have all of our patients find 3 photos of their desired breast size. We ask for naked breast photos because clothing can obscure the true size (push up bras). Next, we consult with patients and go over the photos and take detailed breast measurements during a physical exam. Next, we using a sizing algorithm to determine a range of implants that will work based on the exam and the measurements.Lastly, during the operation, we use silicone sizers in the operating room to see how the size actually looks in the breast. We sit the patient up in the operating room, while asleep of course, and compare the sizer result with their desired look photos. If it is too small, we start the process over with a slightly larger implant. We don't stop until we get the perfect match.Of all of my breast augmentation patients, every one of them has been happy with their size due to this detailed and meticulous process. You don't want to invest time and money into a result that is either too big or too small.You should discuss your concerns with a board-certified plastic surgeon and make sure that your surgeon understands your goals.Daniel Barrett, MD

A breast augmentation is an excellent  way to correct this problem. Since you have no ptosis (droop), my preference would be to use an arm pit approach, leaving no scars on your breasts.

Thank you for your question. Many of our patients present with a wide nipple position prior to augmentation. We know that we can't change this natural position, but you can still get a very nice breast enhancement with either saline or gel implants. The width of the implants chosen is more important than the volume. More moderate profiles have a greater width/total cc volume than higher profiles, in which base width decreases as projection increases. Formation of the correct pocket is also important to maximize medial fullness (cleavage) when supported. As always, discuss any lingering concerns that you may have with your surgeon pre-op. Best of luck to you.Dr. B 

Breast implants will help to close the space between your breasts.  You may not have perfect cleavage but there will be a marked improvement.  The rest you can do with a push up bra. Go for it.

Thank you for the good question.   I think that you are starting at a good place and should have a very nice outcome, assuming a well executed breast augmentation procedure. Ultimately, whether or not to proceed will be a very personal decision that only you can make, after careful consideration of pros/cons associated with breast surgery.You are correct in that your anatomic starting point will to some degree determine how much space will be present between your breasts after breast augmentation surgery.  Other factors involved include careful breast implant pocket dissection and careful selection of breast implant size/profile.  Remember (when it comes to breast implant pocket dissection and achievement of ideal breast implant cleavage) that each nipple/areola complex must be centered on each breast mound. 
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you are looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals. 
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. For example, I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or "C or D cup" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate. Again, the use of computer imaging has been very helpful during the communication process, in our practice.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery, after the use of temporary intraoperative sizers.
I hope this helps. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with. 

Hello. Thank you for your inquiry.
You may be an excellent candidate for breast augmentation surgery
It is important to have an in-person assessment regarding your concerns as it is difficult to determine virtually.
There are many different factors that go into choosing a breast implant size which will correspond with your body dimensions while concurrently achieving your aesthetic results. Some of these factors are: Implant size (CC's), Implant profile (Low, Moderate, High), Placement of the implant (Subglandular vs. Dual Plane) etc. We utilize smooth round cohesive silicone gel 'gummy bear' implants for the best results.
During a consultation your aesthetic goals are heard and taken into account with the measurements of your breasts and the integrity of your tissue, as well as level of ptosis (sag). From here we collectively can find your 'perfect fit'. You are able to try out sizers and different implants in our office such that you can get an idea of what size you would be post-operation. We also offer Crisalix 3D plastic surgery virtual simulator during our in-person and virtual consultations to preview potential results. After your consultation, you will receive your very own implant sizers to take home with you (at a small cost) whether or not you decide to go forward with your procedure.
I usually recommend that my patients stop smoking, take vitamin C daily, and avoid aspirin/ibuprofen and vitamin E 3 weeks prior to surgery. I specialize in the 24-hour Recovery method which minimizes trauma to the breast and decreases pain post-operatively.

Thanks for the photos.  Implants will not change the "foot print" of your breasts but will give them some fullness.  I would likely recommend low profile gels to get you some fullness in the cleavage area.  The more fullness you have medially, the more lateral your nipples will appear.  That is a trade off for some cleavage.  I  think it's useful for you to look at a lot of before and after photos of patients who share your particular anatomy.  The before and after photo you posted shows a very good example of the result you may end up with.
