Too much space in between breasts, no upper pole fullness. Are my implants to small - 300cc and 285cc Motiva? (Photos)

Question

I had my surgery January 2025. I told my doctor I wanted to achieve a natural look. I have 2 kids and a *slight asymmetry *wjich o didn’t notice so much. My doctor recommended 300-375cc’s bc my breast width is 12.5. And also considered my other post op measurements. Of course I wa wrong by looking over the internet and compared to how huge 375 cc’s looked. I told him 300cc and 285cc would be what I wanted. He didn’t hesitate either. Anyways now I’m not sure that I got the results I wanted. My doctor did say think about the distribution of the implant and not the cc’s going to low. What do you think. Should I go with 375cc Motiva implant which has a bar of 11.75. Or should I go Demi again and get 360cc’s with base 12.25. What I don’t like is that I have to much space between my breasts and there isn’t any upper pole. I would like more side boob too. I am afraid of the projection being to a full with a high/ full implant.

Hello,
thank you for your question.
Given your desire for a natural appearance with improved cleavage, upper pole fullness, and lateral volume , revisiting your implant selection is reasonable. While your initial choice of 285cc and 300cc implants may have suited a conservative goal, the lack of upper pole fullness and wide intermammary space suggest that a slightly larger implant with a broader base and moderate projection may provide better balance. A Motiva 375cc with an 11.75 cm base may add volume, but the smaller base might not optimize your breast width of 12.5 cm. On the other hand, a Demi 360cc implant with a 12.25 cm base may better match your natural dimensions and allow more lateral and medial fill without excessive projection. Choosing projection should be guided by your tissue characteristics, skin elasticity, and how much forward projection you're comfortable with. A full-profile implant doesn’t always look “unnatural” if the base width is appropriate.

Your should have listened to your surgeon in the first place. The choice of implant is the surgeons choice based on years of experience.  The "look" you desire is your input. 
Show your surgeon pictures of what you want. Sometimes what you want and what is possible are not the same. I
