Im 1 day post op. doing well for now. I had 425 cc HP silicone unders preaerola. My only concern is before the surgery my dr told me i will have only 1 inch gap between breasts. But theres 2 inch gap maybe even more than that. Will the cleavage improve over time? I want them to be close together as Miss Prestin's. but my breasts looks too far apart and i feel like they are not big enough. Any idea what i am gonna end up looking like? Im 99lbs 5'3"
Answer: A Note From Miss Prestin's Surgeon Post-operative cleavage will always be determined by the natural distance that exists between the inner edges of a woman's breasts and the distance between her nipples. When performing breast augmentation, although the implants can be cheated closer together a small amount, they still must be centered more or less beneath the nipples. Placing them elsewhere will lead to an unnatural appearance. This means that patients will have cleavage similar to their natural state even after their augmentation results become visible. As the surgeon who performed Miss Prestin's surgery, I know this to be true for her as well.

Answer: 1 day postop - be patient, you look like you will end up with a great results you are only one day after surgery, and it's way to early to see the final results. However, based on your pictures you look great for 1 day after and as your tissue soften and breast implants settle in, you will end up with a great result.

Answer: Will my 2 Inch Cleavage Improve? It appears you are doing very well for 1 day after surgery. You must wait several weeks and even a few months for the final shape of your breasts. Based on your preoperative photograph, I am not sure you will achieve cleavage that you show in the desired photograph, but I do believe that you will be happy with your results.

Answer: Breast cleavage
It is too early to tell.
Having said that I doubt you will move the implants anymore medially as the implants are sitting exactly underneath your natural breast platform. Which are 2inches apart not 1inch as you can tell by your surgeon's pre-op markings.

Answer: Breast augmentation - reality vs. air-brushing.
Many patients bring photos and unrealistic expectations to the plastic surgeons office. A common theme is bringing an air-brushed photo of a model with over-sized implants and expecting the same results. The reality is that your breast anatomy limits what a breast augmentation can do. An implant placed beneath the muscle cannot move anymore centrally than where the muscle inserts on the breastbone. If one releases the muscle centrally, a deformity known as synmastia can occur where the implants can cross the midline and can actually touch. Cleavage is achieved with a bra, not with surgery.
An appropriately sized implant, chosen to augment the natural anatomy of a woman's breast (not replace the anatomy) leads to the highest augmentation satisfaction. Choosing implants that are too large for the breast will often lead to thinning of the breast tissue, rippling, and implant malposition. The most common complaint I hear from women who have had implants for many years is that they wish they had chosen smaller implants.
