I got a breast aug 7 months ago (455cc MP) and I'm disappointed. I expected them to be bigger and to have cleavage but I have a wide chest (I can fit my entire hand between my breasts). I am 22, 5'8, 165 ish lbs. I'm wanting to get bigger implants/fat grafted to give me cleavage but not sure? Would a different profile help? Are bigger implants going to make a difference for my cleavage? I'd rather not get lipo if theres a chance the fat won't stay.

Answer: Implants Bigger implants may not be able to give you more cleavage. If your breasts sit naturally far apart, they will remain that way. The base of your breasts cannot be moved. An examination if needed to see if fat grafting is an option. Fat is placed inside actual breast tissue and not in the pocket with the implants. If you have little tissue in the area you wish fat, then fat grafting will not work. I would suggest going back to your surgeon and discussing your concerns. Please do not chose an implant that is too large and heavy for your tissue and frame. Otherwise, you will just have big sagging breasts.

Answer: Cleavage Dear Beach lover, A physical exam would do wonders in more accurately answering your questions. That being said, lack of cleavage is due to your chest anatomy with both a sharp curvature of your ribs which cause your implants to sit more laterally (combined with a wide sternum). If your breasts move closer with better cleavage when wearing a bra or pushing them, then your pocket is open. IF not, opening the medial pocket and possibly larger implants or a lower profile with wider base diameter may work. Best wishes. Dr. Taranow
