I went to my surgeon, and he said I will need to go larger about 6 months post-op to fix the gap, and this is just my frame. When I lay down the gap is even larger! He's recommending approx 420-450 cc moderate plus under the muscle. I wish I had known about this gap issue prior, because I would have reconsidered the surgery or the implant at the time. Anyways, looking for any advice. PS- I'm 5'3", 105 lbs, and low body fat. I'm so upset :(

Answer: Breast implant result Unfortunately your implants are far apart because your breasts are naturally far apart. If you look at a lot of pre and post op implant photos you will see that some women have breasts that are naturally close, some average, or some like you are far apart. Your surgeon may be able to help some by waiting a few months for your tissues to stretch and adding a wider implant, but he cannot make you breasts closer. Your implants are presently directly correctly centered under your nipples. The good news is you have a very attractive, thin, athletic figure. Your breasts look great but you are not built for cleavage. Enjoy your great look. Good luck.

Answer: Gummy bear implants and position When implants are placed under the muscle, there is a limit to how close the implants can appear. Your sternum may also be naturally wider. That being said, it does appear that your implants could be closer. In addition, gummy bear implants do not move as naturally as smooth implants. This is by design - the capsule adheres to the implants to restrict motion and prevent rotation. It's important to know that when choosing implants. Also, revision augmentation with gummy bear implants (anatomically shaped implants) can be tricky. The pocket must be precise to prevent the implants from rotating, requires removal of the previous capsule, and often needs drains. Switching to round implants can solve a lot of these issues - softer implants, more mobility, no need to revise the capsule, and a quicker operation.
