This is the picture I was talking about in my previous question. I would really like to get a cleavage like Halle Berry's in this picture. Should I go with moderate profile or high profile? I'm thinking of getting around 450cc. I'm having my first consult with a PS in 3 weeks but I'd like to get as much information as possible before I see him. Thank you so much!!

Answer: Breast augmentation Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. The amount of cleavage is somewhat dependent on your breast anatomy and the insertion point of your pectoralis muscles. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Designer cleavage Hi EvieThanks for your question and photo. There are a couple of points worth considering here. Firstly, your existing breast anatomy may simply not allow cleavage like this to be generated (it is governed by pectoralis muscle insertion, existing breast footprint, existing nipple location, breast development etc). This can be determined at the consultation with your Specialist Plastic Surgeon. Secondly, the appearance of cleavage in a push up bra is often very different to the appearance when naked. It would be a mistake to aim for such a small gap between the breasts when naked as this dramatically increases the risk of a deformity called synmastia. Again, this will be discussed during your consultation with the PS. From your photo I would recommend a round gel implant placed under the muscle. The decision made between smooth vs textured implants, MPP vs HP and incision type are all best made at your consultation when your chest measurements and ideal implant volume can be accurately determined. I most commonly use high profile implants in my practice. Ensure your Plastic Surgeon is a member of The Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) with significant experience in this area. You'll be in good hands. Kind regardsPaul
