Considering augmentation but concerned my breasts are too far apart (Photo)

Thank you for your inquiry! You have options, you can use internal scaffolding to help implants in place.
Implants will follow the natural flow of the chest wall. We would love to meet with you to discuss your concerns. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon!

Thanks for your question!
You are a candidate for a breast augmentation. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!

You are right with the nipples being far from each other and there is a little of asymmetry in your case however, the only option we got is doing breast implant, I'd recommend doing them under the muscle, we might need to use different implant sizes and since we will only be doing be doing breast augmentation we can't do anything for the nipple/areola area. My recommendation would be to use moderate size instead of small implants which will give us a result where the nipples will be pointing more to the front and the cleavage result you are hoping for can be gained in this way.

Hello from Istanbul, thanks for sharing this question. The spacing between your breasts may be wide right after surgery but I believe it will settle nicely and you should be able to have the cleavage you're looking for. The choice of an implant that fits your frame and aligns with your goals can be determined during an in-person examination. Proper placement of the implants will be crucial in achieving a more symmetrical look and the cleavage you desire. In short, I think you would be a good candidate for a breast augmentation. Best of luck to you!

Dear Intelligent599001,
with a good placement of breast pockets and the right implant choice, your breasts can be made more symmetrical and closer. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

I do not think this will be an issue. I would recommend finding a board-certified plastic surgeon who has preoperative 3D imaging (Vectra or Crisalix). This way you can see the potential outcome.

Hi Intelligent 599001, you will gain the appearance of being closer together with implants as the soft tissue will round out and create cleavage. Implants that fill the outer portion (medical term: lateral) will prevent the nipple-areola complex from appearing even further apart--in other words, attempts to place the implant closer to the midline (to try to maximize cleavage) should be avoided. Your plastic surgeon will measure your breasts and suggest the appropriate width, volume, fill material etc. for your implant. Sometimes the nipple-areola complex can be shifted inwards by removing a small "C" shaped piece of skin-depends upon the looseness of the tissue. Small differences in the distribution of breast tissue/fat occur throughout your lifetime and if the differences are due to, prominence of underlying ribs, muscle thickness etc. that can not be changed but overall you may be happy with implants. Best wishes, Dr. Doolabh

the subtle shadows and light on your chest reveal breast tissue that overlaps sternum, which is ideal for breast augmentation. Remember, implants don't just push tissue forward, it also pushes tissue radially in all directions, including to the center. You would have a very nice result.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Hello and thank you for your question! Breast augmentation would help improve breast shape, contour and volume, but as you point out, some pre-existing asymmetries may persist or even become magnified after surgery. Sometimes surgeons use asymmetric implants to address the unevenness in size between presents. The breast footprint or spacing between the breasts is harder to fully address with this because implants should be positioned in the center of the breast footprint to create the most natural breast appearance (i.e. putting the implants too close to the middle of the breastbone can lead to issues). One great way to address some of the appearance of a prominent/wide breast bone is to add fat transfer to an implant augmentation (a hybrid approach). In my opinion, fat transfer can "feather" or taper the inner aspects of the implants and soften the width/spacing between implants in cases such as yourself. Good luck on your journey!
