Is the gap between my breasts because of my anatomy or is the implant too small?

Cleavage will depend of many factors, in particular position of breast base, "breast footprint". If it is closer to the midline and there is some tissue there, patient will have natural looking cleavage before and after augmentation. However, when breasts are positioned lateraly on the chest, when ribs are very steep and amount of breast tissue close to the midline minimal, it would be very difficult to create cleavage just with proper positioning of implants. It will also depend of the insertion of the pectoral muscle to the chest bone. In cases where satisfactory cleavage can not be created with implants, fat grafting of the medial aspect of the breast to create bulk and cleavage, may be considered. Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without an in-person examination, or full series of photographs, it is impossible to offer advice.

Hello! This is a very common issue after breast augmentation and is usually multi-factorial. Anatomy, implant selection and surgical technique all play a role. If you have something called pectus carinatum (ribs stick out) it may prevent the implants from being closer together. An implant of 275cc in my experience (even in a moderate profile) really does limit how much cleavage you may have but this of course depends on your chest measurements prior to surgery. Finally, if the implants were placed in a submuscular plane (underneath the muscle), the surgeon must ensure that the muscle is released adequately so that the implant may fall as medial as possible to give you the best cleavage possible. Make sure to discuss all of these points with your plastic surgeon. Good luck!
