I got 325cc high profile implants a few months ago. I am 5'7, very thin and active, and yet I feel they are too small for me. They also look fairly wide apart. Would it be a good idea to get a revision to get slightly larger implants spaced closer together? 375cc? I don't want them too big that they interfere with marathon training and racing
Answer: Implants too far apart Hello, the gap between your breast implants after surgery is determined to a large extent on the gap that was present before surgery. However if you are wondering whether a revision is possible this could be discussed with your surgeon.

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Size Selection Thank you for your question. "Tissue based planning" relies on your chest and breast measurements and is the safest way to ensure good long term results. Your surgeon should determine what size and projection are necessary to give you your desired result based on your body's measurements. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic breast surgery. Hope this helps and good luck with your surgery.

Answer: Space between breasts after BBA Based on your breast diameter and chest width, you may do better with a moderate profile implant which would be wider and reduce the inter-mammary distance. That being said, the "gap" between your breast will be largely determined by your sternal width. Best Regards.

Answer: Spacing between breast implants The short answer is that your implants are spaced fairly wide apart, you are correct. But there is a bit more to it. The distance between your breasts is determined by the width of your sternum (breast bone), the position of your pectoralis major muscle in your chest, and the amount of fat or padding that you have. In very thin patients, like yourself, we typically recommend placing an implant at least partially under muscle to make it less visible in the upper portion of the breast. This is great to avoid the implant from showing and to provide a nice contour, however the problem is that we are then limited by how close together we can place the implants. If you separate too much muscle to fit the implants underneath, you run the risk of the implants migrating towards the midline - this is called symmastia (or a "uni-boob) and is both unsightly and difficult to fix.You implants are centred nicely under your nipple, are at a nice height on your chest wall and are quite symmetrical. A wider implant might help to narrow the space between the breasts, but would also make them wider under your arm - something that I can only imagine would be a nuisance to a marathon runner.I would address this problem with fat grafting. This is a procedure the removes fat from somewhere you have excess (usually belly or medial thighs) and then injects the fat into the breast. The fat improves the contour but is placed on top of muscle, so that it can hide any irregularities, add more volume, and disguise a visible implant. Good luck!

Answer: Are my breasts spaced too far apart after Breast Augmentation? Usually the width of your breast bone or sternum determines the width of the separation of your breast implants.High profile implants are narrower and make the separation worse.I would consider having Moderate Plus Profile implants placed under the chest muscle
