Why Do Someone Women Have Large Gaps After Breast Implants?

It’s not unusual for patients to have specific aesthetic
goals for size, contour, and cleavage following breast augmentation surgery.
Unfortunately these aesthetic goals aren’t always easily accomplished and for
this reason compromises may occasionally be necessary. This is frequently the
case when patients are concerned about cleavage following surgery.

Poor cleavage can occur for a variety of reasons. In
rare cases, poor cleavage may be related to technical considerations. Examples
might include too much lateral breast pocket dissection or inadequate medial
pocket dissection. In other cases it might be related to the usage of implants
that have inadequate base width.

In the majority of cases, inadequate cleavage is related
to anatomic considerations. These include lateral sloping chest walls, the
breast shape, and lateral positioning of the nipple areola complexes. It’s
important to center the implant beneath the nipple areola complex. Efforts to
create cleavage by moving the implant in an inward direction can result in
malposition of the nipple areola. In these cases, the nipple areola would look
as if it’s sitting on the side of the breast.

If you’re considering breast augmentation and cleavage
is one of your primary aesthetic goals, it’s important to discuss this issue
with your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to perform an
examination and discuss any limitations imposed by your unique anatomy. 

Why Do Someone Women Have Large Gaps After Breast Implants? Some reasons listed below:


widely spaced breast mounds

widely spaced nipples

small diameter breast implants relative to breast diameter

pectus carinatum

incomplete pectoralis release

pectoralis strengthening/exercises

excessive lateral pocket dissection.

There is a dynamic interaction between hard tissues, (chest wall, sternum, etc), soft tissues, (the breast tissue), and the implants themselves.  Often the surgeon will aggressively dissect out the mid-line between the breasts, but the body will pull the implants apart. 

During the consultation, review with your doctor your particular anatomy.  Is your chest like a bird or a valley?  How far apart and what shape are your breasts now?  Together you can then make the best plan to reach your goal and avoid things that you don't want.
