Im 5'4 and weigh 113 pounds so I'm a fairly small woman. My breast are seven fingers apart I also used a ruler and measured 4 inches apart. I'm horribly embarrassed and have no self esteem. Right now I'm a low B Cup and would like to be a 34C but with a natural look that's very important to me. Will a low profile implant increase my cleavage because when breasts are far apart they look a bit uunnatural? Thank you all.
Answer: Breast augmentation and cleavage Dear chelmay, Thanks for submitting your picture. Sorry that you feel embarrassed by the appearance of your breasts . The good news is that you can be helped in a dramatic way. From your picure I have noticed the followings : 1. Small B cup size . 2. Possiblly mild to moderate ptosis (droopiness) since your shoulders lifting can give the wrong impression of perky breasts. 3. Large areolas. 4. Lateral divergence of the nipples. 5. Wide cleavage. 6. Left breast bigger than right breast. You write that you would like to be a 34 C . Assuming that your chest size is correct ( it determined the amount of fluids needed per Cup ) you will need roughly 250 - 275 cc's. However in my practice the most popular size is full C or small D and for thar you will need 375 - 400 cc's implants. The correction of all the other issues are very technical and you will need to consult with very experienced board certified plastic surgeon. 1. A mini lift procedure (Bellini) can reduce the size of the areolas and move the nipples medially and superiorly. 2. Very careful and meticulous dissection of the implants pockets close to the chest midline will achieve a very nice cleavage. 3. Different amount of fluids (saline) in the implants will bring more symmetry to the breasts . As you can see , your situation is not simple but in the hands of experienced and competent plastic surgeon it can be done. Check the before and after pictures of the surgeons to make sure that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder

Answer: #ObtainingMaximumCleavage Low profile implants are wider so yes you will have a bit more cleavage than other implants of smaller width. To achieve #maximumCleavage you might want to consider moving your areolas a bit more towards the middle of the chest which together with an implant would maximally improve your cleavage.

Answer: Which implants yield the best cleavage? (Moderate profile are the widest!) Thanks for including photos! Yours clearly show your concern with breasts that are widely spaced on your chest wall. Breast enlargement with implants will give you larger breasts, and the widest profile implants (least projection for a given volume) will yield the closest cleavage.To some extent, this is size-related. Obviously, large(r) implants have wide(r) base diameters, and when centered properly beneath your nipple/areola complexes, will give a certain cleavage width. The larger the implants, the closer they get in the center, and also the more "side boob" you will have. For widely-spaced breasts, it may take fairly large (even with moderate profile) implants to give you "close" cleavage. Maybe larger than you wish. But small(er) implants still need to be centered beneath your nipples--you can't simply take small implants and put them close together in the cleavage area, or else you get "wall-eyed nipples" that point sideways! Not a good look at all!Since you want only a cup and a half or so of enlargement, this involves implants that are in the 400cc size range (or thereabouts). 420cc Allergan silicone gel moderate profile implants have a base diameter of 14.0cm (the 390cc implants have a 13.6cm base). This would not give you a cleavage that is close, deep, or sharply defined, but you would have enough breast volume to now fill a beautiful push-up bra that can accomplish your goals.Even moderate profile 650cc implants (that would add about 2 1/2 cups to your present size) have a diameter of 16.0cm, but 2cm more per side equals about and inch and a half "narrower" cleavage. But you might now have larger breasts than you wish. Consultation and compromise may be in order here, and the best way to achieve your best cosmetic outcome would be to obtain several consultations with ABPS-certified plastic surgeons who do lots of breast surgery.

Answer: Will low profile implants give me more cleavage? Thank you for your question.It will be very important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice I find the use of goal pictures to be very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “D cup” etc. means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
