I always had natural, attractive cleavage but breast feeding took a real toll. I had 350cc silicone implants placed under the muscle on 9/17. My breasts were a C prior to surgery. I am beyond depressed with the result. I HAVE NO CLEAVAGE & feel I wasted $12,000. I keep sobbing. My dr keeps delaying the checkup. He's now on vacation. They feel like they're in my armpits. Will they move closer? I'm sobbing. Dr isn't back till October.
Answer: Implants too far apart From the photos it appears that you had a breast lift with implants. With seeing your preop photos without a bra on its hard to tell how far apart they were to begin with. You are very early in the healing process and the path of least resistance for the implants is to go up and out towards the shoulder. With time they will settle inwards and the space between the breasts will narrow. As plastic surgeons we have to place the implants under the middle portion of the breast. If the breast bone is very wide and wider implant base my help. Give yourself a few months to heal. Good luck.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Wide gap and breast implants Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. Having said that, it looks like you have had a nice lift and breast augmentation. You have a wide gap and will not see lots of cleavage. This is not new. You should go look at your preop pictures and this should calm you down. This does not mean you will not have a lovely result. Your preoperative anatomy is very important in your post operative result. If you would like to see results of women just like you. Visit the web reference below. You will see that they have great results. In their clothes and swim suits they look amazing. Disrobed and in person they also look very good. It is just not the tight cleavage look. Since none of these women ever cleavage, they understand that it is just not their look. Best wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Are my implants too far apart? Hello! Thank you for your question! You are still early post-procedure. Your appearance looks typical at this stage and will continue to improve as the swelling subsides and the implants continue to settle into their desired position. This usually proceeds over the next several weeks as the lower pole skin/breast stretches to accommodate the implants. Follow-up closely with your surgeon for additional restrictions/instructions and the potential use of bras/garments or massage that may encourage the implant to settle appropriately. If still displaced after this time, a surgical procedure may be necessary to further open the pocket and bring the implant(s) down. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!

Answer: Will improve Looks like you had a breast lift with implants. You probably had loose attachment of your skin to your chest bone. The initial swelling is tenting your skin up reducing the effective cleavage. As the swelling improves,your cleavage will improve as well.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi
