Will my breast grow closer together? (Photos)

Thank you for your question and congratulations on your breast augmentation.You are still very early in the healing process and, if your implants were placed in the sub-muscular position, they have not yet had enough time to drop and settle into their final position.  When you have allowed enough time for your implants to fully settle (3-4 months) you might feel as though your implants seem 'closer' than they do currently.  With that said, and as depicted in the pre-op photos you included, you had some distance between your breast pre-operatively that will remain present and unchanged as a result of your surgery.  A patients pre-op anatomy will largely dictate the amount of cleavage a patient can expect to achieve from a breast augmentation alone, as nipple placement and intra-mammary distance cannot be altered.  I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon to discuss your progress thus far.  I wish you all the best and hope that you find this helpful!  

As you are very early on in the healing process, it is likely that your breasts will change over the coming months. Although breast implants do “settle,” keep in mind the distance between the breasts seen pre-operatively will not change following breast augmentation. My advice to you is to have patience, wait for your body to recover and see how you feel about your breast implants in about 3 to 6 months. If you have any concerns, you should contact your plastic surgeon for advice on how to proceed.

Your breasts will not move closer together over time. The footprint of your breasts and where the implants are placed determine the amount of cleavage following breast augmentation.

Hi there, Thank you for your question. At 16 days post op your breasts are healing at different rates. It appears as though you are healing well, assess the results at 3-6 months. The breasts will get somewhat closer together as they "fluff". If you have any concerns please speak with your plastic surgeon. Best, realdrsix

As you're in the early postoperative period you could probably expect some improvement in your cleavage. However, you're muscles suggest a very well defined border at the medial muscle attachment and this will limit your results. Your breasts look great otherwise. 

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Based on your photograph, your implants appear to be properly placed.  Although you may still have some swelling and perhaps the implants may settle a bit more, they will not move closer together.  Follow-up with your plastic surgeon regarding your specific concerns.  Best of luck.

Congratulations on your recent surgery. It's still early in your recovery, but in general your implants will not move closer together than your natural breast footprint. So, if your breasts were slightly further apart prior to surgery, then the implant simply sits within the natural breast foundation. In the coming months, your implants will settle in the bottom of your breast will become more full and round. This may give the appearance of your breasts moving slightly closer together.

Thank you for your question and pictures. In short, the answer is no, your breast will not grow closer together. You started out with widely spaced breasts and this has been retained with your augmentation. All things considered, you have a nice result considering the starting point. If your surgeon were to put the implants closer together, you would not be happy with the results as this would lateralize the nipples and create an unnatural look. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question and photos. Unfortunately, the space between your breasts is largely determined by width sternum and and where the pectoralis muscle inserts on your sternum.  The space between your breasts will therefore be somewhat predetermined by your initial anatomy, so I don not believe that your breast will move closer as you drop. You look to be off to a great start, and I believe that you will have an excellent result once you heal.  Bets Regards.

No, your breast will not grow closer together. Breast implants only take on the shape of your current breasts and make them larger. If a surgeon tries to bring them unnaturally closer, you run the risk of a symmastia or uniboob. The good news is that you now have more volume, which will make it easier for you to have more cleavage in clothes.
