How to reduce gap after breast augmentation? (photo)

Hello,Your gap will improve with time to a small extent, due to continued stretching of your soft tissues: skin, fat, breast, and muscle. My assumption is that your implants are as well placed as possible, and that the pectoralis muscle was appropriately thinned along the sternal border, and that the lateral extents of the implant pockets are not too lateralized. If this is not the case, then there is room for improvement. To determine this, a physical examination by a surgeon is necessary.Regardless, you are an example of one of the many limitations of breast augmentation. Your desire to be a D cup when you were an A cup should have been discouraged. You had small breasts that did not extend very far over the sternum and little body fat. You are lucky that your only complaint is a wide gap. Unfortunately, time is not on your side, and the same stretching of soft tissues that will relax your implants and allow them to glide together more easily will also be the source of potential problems in the future: thinning and rippling, malposition, and dropout. Some of these problems may be uncorrectable, and you might always have a significant aesthetic compromise.If you really want help, you should take sage advice and realize you need to do what's best for yourself in the long run. Removing your large, high profile implants with smaller, lower profile implants (perhaps the same diameter) will not only decrease your risk of long term problems, but also instantly improve the apparent width of the 'gap'.Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. Fat grafting may be a simpler procedure than pocket revision to decrease gap between breast implants.

You appear to have a fairly large implant with tight tissues - I would suggest fat grafting to the medial pole of each breast to improve infill in this region and provide more implant coverage. Your breast tissues will thin with time, so fat grafting might be helpful for you.
