Breast Distance Exercises. Is there anything I can do to reduce the gap?

Question

I am 1 month post-op from 34A to 34D with silicone 385cc. My implants have settled really nice thanks to a talented surgeon. My only question is that the implants do have that gap between. I understand that there will be gap. Is there any exercises or techniques that you tell your patients in order to train or minimize the gap? My doctor told me to hug myself but maybe there is a more aggressive way? Thanks in advance!

Your chest shape and breast distance usually dictates how close your implants will be.  I am not sure if self hugs will change that but can't hurt!

Thank you for your great question about reducing the gap between your breasts after your breast augmentation surgery.  It sounds like you've worked with an excellent plastic surgeon and I would recommend you follow his or her recommendations.  The self hugs are fine to do.Brian S.

Self Hugs are always a good idea!  That should be an appropriate exercise post  breast augmentation surgery.  While this site is an excellent source for opinions, I think it is  always best to listen to your surgeon.  All the Best,Dr. Brian Reagan
