Gap between my implants, what's your opinion? (Photos)

Question

I am 4 and a half months after having the operation, my breasts were already separated but I am surprised by how separated they are now despite the operation, I feel they do not look normal and I would like to know your opinion about it, thank you

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Your impksnts are far apart because if the shape of your sternum. A revision with larger implants may be able to correct the problem  also your nipples are far apart and implants will tend to center themselves under the nipple. So a lot has to do with your natural anatomy

Harry T. Haramis, MD, FACS · Answer

Usually wide cleavage or space between breasts cannot be changed much with implants. Yours seems to be exaggerated especially in your left side.

That implant appears far to the side and may need a revision to move it closer to the middle- narrow the gap.

Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended for instructions and any options.

Glenn Lyle, MD · Answer

I would recommend asking your surgeon for their explanation. Without knowing operative details, it would be impossible to render an opinion. Also post op photos should be taken with arms down as muscle activity can change appearance. If the implants were placed under the muscle, conversion to on top of the muscle or a revision of another kind may be necessary. Sometimes widely displaced nipples cannot effectively be medialized without incisions around the areolae.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

You did not post your before photos, which would be very helpful. Some women whose breasts are wide apart will always have wide apart breasts. The bases cannot be moved. Sometimes the out pockets can be tightened to help decrease the lateral movement and fat can be added to the medial pockets for more volume. However, this may not work in all women because some nipples then wind up in the wrong place.

Hilton Becker, MD · Answer

From your photographs it appears that your implants are placed below the muscle .This may be the cause of your implants being placed laterally .
Correction usually involves placement above the muscle.
