Revision to Have More Cleavage? Is It Possible to Make Breast Implants Closer Together?

Question

6 years- post breast implants with saline, under the muscle- 300 and 340cc's. Everything went ok except was told there is absolutely no way to form the shape of the breast implants, that the doctor just places in the implants and they go naturally to the way your breast is formed. 6 years later... would like more cleavage. Is this possible?

Every woman has a natural footplate of their breasts. That is, their breast are located either very close together, moderately close together or far apart. The implants will follow the position of the breast. Using larger implants and using silicone implants will improve that somewhat. Occasionally a lift or fat injection can also improve the "wide cleavage" look. Best wishes

Yes, it is possible to #increase your implant size with a #revision. However, the #pocket will need adjustment and a lift may be necessary; to better #support the new implant. Additionally, a mesh for further support may be helpful depending on the #implant size and skin #elasticity.With both implant types there are choices when it comes to size, shape, and profile. The criteria best to suit you will be discussed in full detail at your breast augmentation consultation. Also, the right implant for the revision is contingent on shape of body and your desired outcome.Your procedures should always be performed by a #PlasticSurgeon who is board-certified and has a great deal of experience specializing in cosmetic #surgery. You will then greatly improve your chances of getting the result you desire, and, without the need for further revision surgeries. It is suggested that you look at before and after photos of the surgeons actual patients, and read patient reviews. Gathering all of this information will help you make a well-informed decision.

Thank you for your quetion. The photo included shows your breasts pushed together. Is this the cleavage you are looking for or is this what you do not like? It would be helpful to see the breasts in their natural state to see and evaluate the cleavage area. It is difficult to give any general advise based on this photo. One way one might improve cleavage is with fat grafting to the medial breasts over the implants. See yor plastic surgeon and find out if he/she feels comfortable doing this without endangering the implants. Good luck.

Thank you for the question.

	Unfortunately, without direct examination and a full communication  of your goals it is not possible to give you precise advice.

	Generally speaking, if you find that your breast  implants move too far to the side when you are upright or lying down then breast revision surgery may help in improving the positioning of the breast implants. Internal sutures (capsulorrhaphy) techniques may be necessary to help keep the breast implants closer to the midline (cleavage area).

	I would suggest in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons who can demonstrate significant experience helping patients with revisionary breast surgery.

	Best wishes.

Thank you for your question and the photo. It would probably be inappropriate to give an answer  in this forum without fully examining you. The final shape of the breast after implant placement depends on many factors. It is the interaction of breast snap, size, implant shape and size and your desires will determine the final outcome. For your best interest, I advise you see a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and a clear discussion of what you want and what can be achieved.
