I am almost 6 weeks post op 415cc round smooth, silicone implants, under the muscle, underboob incision. I am very unhappy with my results because I feel my cleavage is too far apart now and looks like a wide chasm between my breasts. I can fit two fingers between. I never had an issue with wide Cleavage prior to surgery and I’ve added my pre-op photo for comparison. Will the appearance of my Cleavage improve as my breasts continue to “drop and fluff” or will this remain stable?

Answer: BA results 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.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Results 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.
