I am very worried about having a large gap between my breast implants like this photo. My current gap is about 2 fingers wide on a 28” torso with 12.5 bwd breasts.

Answer: Watch out for the gap! Good news! You won't get this problem. Woman that have their breasts positioned on the front of their chests (thorax) normally, and not too wide apart, don't get this problem.

Answer: What causes a large gap between breasts after having had a breast augmentation? There are several factors that contribute to breasts that have a substantial gap between them. By far the most common and most important is your chest and breast anatomy. Women with wide breast bones (sternum width) will have breasts that sit farther apart no matter whether the implant is subpectoral or subglandular. Second, some women have ribcages that slant at an angle from the breast bone towards the lateral chest. This will cause the breasts to sit more laterally on the chest. These women also tend to have nipples that point more to the sides. Normally, the surgeon will center the implant on the breast meaning that these women will have implants that sit farther apart. If the surgeon tries to put the implant more medially to improve the cleavage, this will cause the nipple to look like it is off to the outside of the breast mound. Lastly, capsular contracture can tighten the breast pockets and not allow the implants to move medially. This is more common with subglandular placement of breast implants.
