Will my implants get closer together or will they stay like this because of my anatomy? (photo)

Question

I have noticed that other women with breast implants have a lot more cleavage than I do. I am almost 4 weeks post op. Will my implants get any closer? Or will they stay like this due to my anatomy? My surgeon told me not to wear bras until 6 weeks but I was told a sports bra will help bring them closer together. Why do some surgeons recommend wearing a sports bra while some do not? Will massaging help create more cleavage?

Hello,Your breasts won't (and shouldn't) get closer together, but they will be much more mobile in a few months as your tissue expands. Best of luck!

Allen Gabriel, MD, FACS · Answer

Congrats on your excellent results. You are still very early in the recovery phase and implants will change over the next 3-6 months. Please be patient and keep a close contact with your plastic surgeon.  Best of luck.

Congratulations on your breast augmentation surgery.  As you are very early in the postoperative phase, it will be about 4 months before you can say this is the way they are going to be.Judging by your photos, it does appear that your breasts are spaced apart.  The implants do have some more time they need to settle and you may have a little bit more cleavage, but they will likely be close to the way they look now.  This is again because of your anatomy and build.  I generally tell patients of mine with similar anatomy that once they have settled and they are 4 months out, they can start wearing a push up bra to help achieve a closer look.Hope that helps.

but if you work at it, its possible your implants can touch with a good push up bra.  You should talk to your surgeon for instructions on what you can do NOW to help get the ability to push your implants together.  But if you simply shifted your implants towards the center, your nipples would rotate to where it would look like 'fish eyes'.  So yes, your anatomy had a big impact on implant position.

Thank you for your question. Cleavage depending on your anatomy and implant type. It is unlikely your cleavage is going to change. You have a very good result, please follow instructions from your PS

Congratulations on having undergone the breast augmentation procedure.  In regards to the space between your breasts, I think that your plastic surgeon has done a very nice job;  the breast implants are appropriately spaced  and should not be any closer to the midline. I would not expect the space to "narrow" over time.  Of course, the overall appearance of your breasts will change over the course of the next several months; hopefully they will be more "mobile" and create closer cleavage when you are wearing a bra etc.  Best wishes.

I tell patients that the cleavage they have is the cleavage they have.  The surgery makes the breasts larger but does not truly change the cleavage particularly if the implants are submuscular.  That said you have a beautiful result!Dr Corbin

Your breasts are widely spaced and you do not have any breast tissue that extends over the breast bone. Your implants are properly positioned and you have a lovely result; the best that can be hoped for. Cleavage is a matter of anatomy and the truth is that many women don't get the cleavage they want because of it. Don'tchange a thing as it will only look un-natural.
