Can I get my breast implants any closer together without having to wear a push up bra? (Photos)

Question

I am a 43 year old female, I weigh 122 lbs and had 365 cc implants added underneath my muscle about 9 1/2 months ago. I am wondering if there is any way I can get them to move closer together without having to wear a push up bra?

Thanks for your question! At this point, I think that you would benefit from a larger implant to get you better cleavage. Non-surgically, I don't think there are any good options this far post-op. Good luck!

Dear Affectionate433101,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

The distance between your breasts is determined by your anatomy.  You may be able to have slight improvement in cleavage with a revision, but it won't be significant.  I encourage you to visit with your surgeon to discuss your concerns and learn more about your options.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

No, because of your anatomy, your implants will not sit closer together on their own.  Your implants are placed behind the muscle and you have a moderate gap between your breasts. The base of your breasts cannot be changed much.

Greetings,

The first thing you might want to do is review your pre-op photos to confirm that your lateral breast placements were present before your surgery. Your separated breasts and  wide sternum are a difficult problem to address.. The skin between your breasts is very thin and any effort to compress/move your implants together with a bra may create visible and,or, rippling of your implants.  This might also rotate your nipples outward as your impalnts move to the midline.

You appear to have a good result from your augmentations and should discuss this outcome with your plastic surgeon before you embark on any care options. 
Best Regards,
