How can I fix Breast Augmentation wide cleavage gap? (photos)

Question

I am 3 months post op, silicone 300cc in the left breast and 325 in the right. My cleavage gap is very wide, about 2.5-3 inches. My surgeon's office have been incredibly unhelpful, as they have been ignoring my emails and not picking up phone calls. Please help!

Some aspects can be changed with breast implants while others may not be, such as the area between your native breasts that you start with.3 months is still early in the healing process. Close follow up with your plastic surgeon is recommended to discuss options, if needed, such as implant regions and/or fat grafting, etc.

Breast implants will not change the gap in your cleavage. You should see your surgeon to address your concerns. You are very early in the healing process. Regards.

First you had very asymmetric breasts to start out with and a very wide cleavage. Second, the anatomy dictates cleavage to a large extent and you can not expect it to be much closer than it already is.

Some minor adjustments can be made to the naturally occurring space between one's breasts. However, generally speaking,  the space you start with is the space you will end up with following the augmentation. Trying to create a narrower gap where one does not exist can result in problems such as symmastia. If you surgeon is not communicating with you consider seeking out a second opinion.

Rodney E. Schmelzer, MD · Answer

This is a challenging anatomical issue to address.  You should discuss with your surgeon.  But at baseline, as it appears in your pre-op photos, some women have a larger area centrally along the sternum and this creates width.  This can also appear magnified when the breast fall laterally, as it appears in your pre photos. This is somewhat common and just putting implants in will not fix this, and once augmented, it often then becomes more visible to the patient. Again, it's a challenge, but there are surgical intervention steps that can be done to help, but in all, its difficult to get a perfect result.

William J. Koenig, MD (retired) · Answer

Based on the  pictures provided  you have an excellent result.  I stress to patients with wide cleavage that breast augmentation will give you a larger version or your current breasts NOT the breasts you wish you had.  You appear to have a bit of pectus carinatum (a chest that peaks at the breast bone and bows outward) and good cleavage is difficult to achieve in this situation.  Having said that it is not excusable for you surgeon to ignore you and your concerns.  Send a certified letter expressing your concerns.
