Wide Breast Bone, Breasts Wide Apart, Would a Bigger Implant Help to Have Closer Cleavage?

Plastic surgeons must respect normal anatomy of our patients.  Your natural wide distance between your your breasts are not correctable by breast augmentation surgery.  Trying surgically to close this distance is fraught with possible complications.

There are a few things that a surgeon can do to try and minimize the wide gap in patients that are prone to it...Not over dissecting the side, moving the pocket over toward the middle a bit, and getting the base width right (and high profile implants actually are WORSE since they are more narrow, exactly what you don't want)..But some patients are still really hard to correct, so discuss all of this with your doctor..They'll know if you have a higher risk or not.

Thank you for the question.

It will be important to communicate your goals with your plastic surgeon. He/she will choose implants  that will meet your goals as much as possible,  without causing complications such as implant malposition and/or rippling/palpability  that can arise if surgeons try to “create cleavage”.

Careful attention to creation of the breast implant pocket will help center the breast implants under the breast tissue. Choosing a breast implant size that fits, but does not exceed, the limits of the breast implant pocket will help you achieve as much  cleavage as safely possible.

I hope this helps.
