350cc moderate profile implants too close together, 5'2, 105lbs - suggestions? (Photos)

Question

I received 350cc moderate profile implants. i have a small frame at 5’2 105lbs and i am 6mos post op. I was hoping to achieve a natural look but my breast implants look like they are too close together and I have no spacing between my breasts which gives an unnatural cleavage.

First, i would absolutely wait a full year before committing to any revision. It seems that you have a decent result, although I do see what you are referring to.
Symmastia(also spelled synmastia) is a description for the breasts being too close together. Sometimes the skin appears to connect from one breast to another. In you, It seems that you probably naturally have breasts that sit very close together. This can be accentuated when breast implants are placed, or even caused by breast augmentation surgery.
If you were still concerned enough to want a revision near the 1 year mark, my recommendation would be to simply downsize the implant. It involves the smallest amount of dissection and manipulation of your tissues, and should allow for adequate space between breasts. If this maneuver did not adequately fix the issue, we would then have to revise your implant capsules and the tissue on your chest which can be challenging.

Dear Charming513941,
breast revision surgery is the most difficult plastic surgery procedure performed. Botched breast surgery alters normal tissue planes and laxity, the ability of breasts to heal properly, and leaves scar tissue that dramatically affects the level of difficulty of the corrective surgery.Many patients come in to correct poor outcomes from their initial surgeries. The most common problems are due to implant malposition, bottoming out of the implant, poor scarring, and incorrect implant size.While the type of revision required will depend on the result of the previous surgery and the desired result of the patient, some revisions involve extensive pocket repair that may or may not need specialized external bras.If you are considering breast surgery revision, you should speak with a board certified plastic surgeon and have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations. Also, you have to make sure that your surgeon understands your breast augmentation goals.

Really simple. Your implants are too big for your chest. Downsize and you will look 'natural'. What process lead you to choose that size?

Sean T. Lille, MD · Answer

Dear Charming,  Your implant may be a bit too wide for your chest. Your breasts are very close together, to begin with. The alternative would be to go with an implant that is more narrow than your chosen one.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Naturally, your breasts sit close together. However, the chosen implants are too large for your frame and base. I would suggest going down to 275-300 cc's for a better fit. The smaller size would look better on you and 350 cc's may be too heavy on your neck and shoulders at 105 pounds.
