Will High Profile Breast Implants Give Me Cleavage and Roundness?

High profile implants have more projection and thus will give you more upper pole fullness and cleavage than other profile.  

         Cleavage will not
necessarily be helpful by utilizing high profile implants for a variety of
reasons. Cleavage occurs because of a narrow gap between the medial borders of
the two breasts.

 

         The patient’s
baseline anatomy is the most important factor in determining whether cleavage
can exist. In some patients with laterally displaced nipple areola complexes
cleavage may not be possible. In this situation, the implants must be centered
beneath the areola. This will often result in widely spaced breast mounds.

 

         In other cases,
underlying chest wall deformities can impact cleavage as well. Cleavage may be
unattainable in patients who have prominent sternums with a downward lateral
slope.

 

         Unfortunately, the
choice of implant may not significantly impact the problem. High profile
implants have relatively narrow base dimensions and probably would not alter
cleavage. These implants create more anterior breast projection and upper
breast fullness.

 

         If you have
questions regarding this topic, it’s important to consult a board certified
plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to help you formulate an
appropriate game plan.

Cleavage is more affected by the ultimate positioning of the implants, medial release of pectoralis muscle fibers, genetics, and volume and dimension measurements of the implant with respect to your breast size and shape.
