Ok I know I'm only 3 days post-op but freaking out over my chest. I know it's such early days yet but I'm so worried I'm forever going to have this huge gap between my breasts. I'm being impatient and just want to know if there's a way of helping them come together throughout recovery?
Answer: Gap Between Breast Implants The gap between breast implants is mostly determined by the width of the breast bone (sternum). Placing the implants above the chest muscles (pectoralis major) can narrow the gap a little but can result in implant visibility or having the implant pockets connect (symmastia). Correction of these problems requires additional surgery. Also, there are a number of long term benefits associated with placing the implants under the chest muscles. Best to let your surgeon know about your concern.

Answer: Cleavage In answer to your question....yes you will always have this gap. The 'footprint' of the breast is determined by your body and disrupting this will likely cause deformity and problems. If you had a wide gap before your BA then you will still have a wide gap after your BA. I counsel my patients on this before the procedure.
