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: 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

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: Are my implants too far apart? I am sorry to hear about your concerns after breast augmentation/lifting surgery. As you likely know, given that your surgery was performed relatively recently, it is too early to evaluate the long-term outcome of the procedure performed. Although online consultants cannot provide you with meaningful reassurance or predictions, I can tell you that your breasts will change over the course of the next several months, hopefully to your liking. I would suggest that you do your best to exercise patience and to state emotionally even keeled. Follow up with your plastic surgeon as scheduled and communicate your concerns/questions in a calm/constructive fashion. Best wishes.

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
