My Breasts Don't Want to Push Together for Cleavage? (photo)

Question

I got a breast aug about 19 months ago under the muscle. I now want them bigger but the main issue is that I cant get any push up bras that will make them push together. They always want to go right back apart! It's so frustrating! And I don't want it to get worse if I go get bigger implants. What should I do about this?

Unfortunately a side-view is not very helpful in answering your question, pls post a front view because it will show where your natural cleavage line starts and ends - which will determine how far your implants will sit

Thank you for the question and picture.

	A frontal view of the breasts would be helpful in evaluating breast implant positioning. Also, direct examination would be helpful to see if implants fall off to the side when you lie down.

	If the implants do move off to the side when you lie down then internal suture repair ( lateral capsulorrhaphy)  may be helpful in keeping the implants closer to the midline of your chest and improving the cleavage area appearance.

	I would suggest in person consultation with a well experienced board-certified plastic surgeon ( well-versed in revisionary breast  surgery).

	Best wishes.

It is better not to try to force cleavage. You are limited to have cleavage based upon your anatomy.  SOme patients just have wide muscle insertion on the sternum.

Peter E. Johnson, MD · Answer

The amount of cleavage after breast augmentation will depend on the width and spacing of your natural breast. Remember that the implants must fit into the breast and center on the nipple, hand in glove. If your breast is separated by a wide breast bone, a fuller implant with a broader base can help, though if the width and the skin envelope will not allow, a larger implant is not likely to improve things.

Cleavage is very dependent on the position of the breasts on your chest and the extent of natural division between them.  A good push up bra should produce cleavage.  Unfortunately, the photo you've taken does not provide a good starting point for evaluation.
