Could my cleavage be tightened by tightening the pocket for a more medial position?

Heidi526Jul 15, 2022
I’m asking this question again because the original image I chose wasn’t accurate. I had 330cc implants placed recently and love my results, however due to my pre surgery anatomy, my left breast has quite a bit more side boob that is a lot more obviousafter surgery. (Right breast in photo). I was wondering, if I asked my surgeon to tighten the pocket to bring that side to a more medial position, would that work? Do I have lateral displacement or is it just because of my pre surgery anatomy?

It’s not that the implants are too high. You really needed a lift performed and should have gone with smaller implants. Your nipples are too low and need to be raised up with a breast lift

Thankyou for your query. Based on your photographs, when you get a revision of your implants with smaller, high profile implants, saline or silicone, a breast lift (mastopexy) will be very helpful in achieving your desired results. I prefer silicone implants because of their feel and also...
