I had a BA 4 months ago. My breasts were a full C prior to breastfeeding and lost lots of volume after. My concern after BA is the large gap between my breasts. I realize that my natural breasts were quite far apart but the top part of the breasts was almost touching making cleavage easily possible. Now they do not touch anywhere and look wide apart. Even in a bra they look separated. Do you think this is the best result I could have achieved or perhaps it was the technique of a surgeon. Thanks.

Answer: Wide cleavage Dear Alyssa, Thanks for submitting your before and after pictures. From observing your post operative picture, you appear to have a wide cleavage, which understandably is unnatural and create the impression of fake large breasts . Additionally, the right breast appears bigger. The reasons for the excessively wide cleavage are either capsule contracture or inadequate dissection of the medial pocket which is quite common with entry incision in the sub mammary fold. This entry incision is too far from the midline , to allow for easy and safe dissection and creation of nice cleavage. This is the exact reason for my making the entry incision at the sub areola line. In any event, this condition can be easily corrected by performing medial capsulotomy (scar release ). Your best option (financially) is to return to your surgeon for the corrective procedure. If you are not satisfied with your surgeon response, consider consulting with other experienced board certified plastic surgeons , who perform lots of redo breasts augmentation in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery, to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with nice cleavage, perky, symmetrical and natural looking. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: Cleavage Spacing Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. The implants are centered under your areolas and you are correct that they were spaced slightly wide to begin with. When implants are placed under the muscle there is a limit to how close the implants can be placed according to the muscle insertion point on the sternum. The spacing which is possible for each person is unique to their anatomy. Your implants appear to be in a good position. You may find that the look and spacing of your cleavage continues to soften over time and this could make the look of separation less pronounced.All the best
