Will my 2 Inch Cleavage Improve? (photo)

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.

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. 

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.

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.

 

 

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.

Be careful; what you wish for.when trying to create medial cleavage you ahve to be careful not to go too close together and create symastia or what we call the uni boob.That is really tough to correct.I think your impalnts are a good size and I would wait and give it soem time.

First you are very early in the healing process, so pl give it more time. Second, your cleavage is determined by you pec muscle attachment to your breast bone. Implants can not be closer together than that attachment. Trying to create cleavage will be a surgical disaster. You will likely have some cleave but give your skin some time to stretch. 

You had slightly wide set breasts to begin with. So the result will be very good but as for a closer cleavage I doubt. 

The degree of cleavage from a breast augmentation is a function of many anatomic factors


The existing width of the sternum

The position of the origin of the pectoralis muscle

The thickness of the pectoralis muscle

The flair of the rib cage as it angles away from the sternum

Existing breast tissue 


Your breasts may get a little closer together as they muscle relaxes.  Give it another 3 months.  

Your cleavage is a function of your underlying anatomy which if the implants were placed under the muscle are where the insertion of the muscle is on the chest.  Give it time.
