Question

I am not wearing a push up with this bikini but the breast still hold close together can this be fixed though time and massage? I don't want to go thru another surgery. Are my implants too close together,. Is there a type of massage I can do to help it more soft and have a bigger space in between? I got high profile silicones 500cc right and left 450cc in 9/2013 and I feel like it's too close together. I attached a picture and I am not wearing a push-up. I am 5'5 145lbs with an athletic type body with broad swimmers shoulders. The doctor recommended for me to get 425/450cc but I went a little bigger. Is this a case of symmastia or with time and massage It will develop a little gap? I don't want a big gap but I want to to look as natural as possible. I know that it's not bread loafing so it's not severe thx

I would see your plastic surgeon to get fitted for a garment that can help separate the breasts.  If this doesn't help you may need a revision.

Thanks for  your photos and question. However it is hard to make a judgment without examining you.Here are my suggestions.I would ask you surgeon if he has any suggestions;Wearing a "throng bra" may help.Trying to push them to the side and if your surgeon is ok, not wearing a bra for a while may help as well.If you continue to be concerned there are surgical options available.Best wishes,Dr. Sajjadian

It is hard to tell with you wearing the bra.  However, most women have the opposite concern. That is they don't want a wide gap between the implants.  It varies considerably from case to case, but for many women, their goal is to have the implants close together such as in your situation.  I would not recommend further surgery in your case.

implant malplacement and treatmentif this is still within 2 months,  consider massage,, no bra and wearing something between the breast to push then apart may helpsingulair. special straps  all may helpsurgery is the last step

Robert W. Kessler, MD, FACS · Answer

The implants appear quite  close but photos out of the bra and an exam are needed to answer your question.Are the implants above or under the muscle is also an important piece of information to share. Typically the muscle prevents the implants from crossing the midline. If the implants cross the midline the condition is called synmastia. This will require a surgical correction.Have you addressed your concerns with your surgeon? If so and you did not get a satisfactory response seek out a board certified plastic surgeon to evaluate you and render an opinion.
