I have breast augmentation booked for end of April 2024. I am now worried that I have a large gap between my breasts and that it will look even bigger with implants. My surgeon mentioned the gap. He said that my toned pectoral muscles give the illusion of a smaller gap and that it will not be possible to create cleavage with implants. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Answer: Cleavage after a breast augmentation I think you have great spacing between your breasts and would get excellent cleavage after surgery. Something we cannot change during any breast surgery is where the breast is on chest. Some patients will have a low position of the breasts which is what we call a low footprint. These are the types of people you see at the pool with a bikini that covers their breasts and it wraps around their back and over their breasts (a strapless bikini) and it looks as if it is worn almost on the upper abdomen. Some patients will have breasts that are placed more towards their back and they will have a widely spaced cleavage. Your breasts are placed in a good position not too close and not too far away. When an implant is placed in your situation the implant will fill out the breasts and give you good cleavage with good spacing. Now you may be referring to a depression in your chest between your breasts. This is pretty common in tall, thin patients so it can deepen the cleavage but I think what is most important is the spacing between breasts and yours is good. There is nothing we can do to the depression in the center aspect of your chest as it comes from your sternum shape. However I don't see anything in your photo that is concerning about this and your sternum appears perfectly normal. I think you will have good cleavage and a nice shape after a breast augmentation and you look like a good candidate for the procedure.

Answer: 3-D Simulation Thank you for your question I recommend that everyone that is having a breast augmentation should have a 3-D simulation in order to get an idea of what your final results will look like, and you can see different sizes on your frame. I would look for a surgeon who can show you a simulation.
