I have 250cc moderate plus saline implants that are a little over a year old. I'm not happy with my cleavage and want my breasts to be closer together. Is this possible with a revision surgery/different implant or is the large gap just due to my shape? Also when I lay down my implants fall even farther into my armpits while I thought they were supposed to stay in place.

Answer: Implants too far apart It does seem from your photos that your implants are spaced too far apart, but an exam would be needed to see what could be done. Usually it's a capsullorhaphy, which involves closing the side of the pocket with internal stitches while opening up the medial (close to your sternum) pocket. This can be done through the original incision site if it was a periareolar or inframammary approach. That said, sometimes chest anatomy makes it difficult or impossible to have ideal cleavage: a very wide sternum, or if the ribcage has a prominent sternum with slanted ribs (pectus carinatum). Remember also that cleavage is a function of clothing. Cleavage in a bikini top or bra is not comparable to cleavage naked. In some women changing to a wider based implant can help, but is usually not the main problem.

Answer: Breast implants too wide apart From your photos it looks like your implants are in the proper position under your breasts. It may be that you've stretched the skin somewhat allowing the implant more room on the outer part of your breast. Evaluating you can determine whether tightening the outer part of the breast will help move them back more to the center.
