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

CONTACT NOW 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: Lift essential, implants optional Implants only add volume, they do not change shape or position of your breasts. You would benefit from a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Aligning the areola and breast tissue over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection. If you are a 34 B and desire a C, all you would require is 100 cc implants and this can be done simultaneously. I always recommend small round textured silicone gel implants placed retro-pectoral since they look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely to ripple or have complications needing revision. Implant profile is irrelevant in the retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

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: Cleavage after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. Low profile or moderate profile plus breast implants have a wider base than high profile breast implants. The theory is that a lower profile wider base implant will occupy more of the space on your chest wall and may improve cleavage.However cleavage after breast augmentation depends primarily on the method of placement of the implant. Your surgeon will determine where the medial or inside edge of the implant is placed and the effect it has on cleavage. Please discuss this with your surgeon.
