Why is my cleavage so wide 6 weeks post breast augmentation?

Dear moderngirl,
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process at 6 weeks  post op.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Dear moderngirl,Based on your pre- and postoperative photos, it looks like your cleavage (intermammary distance) is similar or the same. It does appear more exaggerated due to the increased projection you now have. This will not improve over time, as implant placement is partly governed by your own anatomy. Best regards,Nirmal R.
