How much space between your breasts can you expect to have closed once you have breast implants?

Hello, a plastic surgeon may be able to close the gap a little between your breasts but the majority of your implant should be under breast tissue, not skin.  Otherwise the layer of tissue over the implants will be very thin and there could be rippling or other issues.  If there is a large gap with no breast tissue, they may not be able to completely correct this.

what space you have between your breasts is determined by your existiing anatomy.  If you look at before and after photos, you will notice that the gap does not change much with a breast augmentation

Hello,Thank you for your question. Many patients have concerns about spacing, however your anatomy will determine spacing between breasts for the most part. This is especially true when implants are placed under the pectoral muscle. Your implants will look the most natural, centered behind your areolas as well and everyone has different spacing and positioning of nipples and breasts. Your Plastic Surgeon will choose breast implants carefully sized to fit your breast measurements and this is one of the factors which can contribute to a natural look.  Talk to your Plastic Surgeon about your operative plan and expectations.All the best

Getting breast implants will inevitably bring your breasts closer together. How much so is hard to determine without a photo but you probably shouldn't expect cleavage out of a bra. Trying to create too much cleavage can leave to a much worse problem called symmastia. Best of luck to you. 

Thank you for your questions.  A breast augmentation can give you a "fuller" appearance, although dissecting closer to the middle of your chest can make your breasts look distorted such as your nipples sitting to the sides of your implants.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thanks for this very common question.  The space between female's breasts vary greatly.  This distance can be altered minially as the space is due to normal anatomic boundaries of a person's breasts.  Careful respect to these boundaries during surgery is what avoids problems later that are very hard to fix.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for implant sizing.  They should be able to recommend the largest implant talk about realistic expectations regarding clevage during yoiur consultation.

Hi.  Unfortunately, not really.  Depending on your anatomy, trying to decrease that space with overenlargement of the pocket and placement of wide implants can lead to the tissues elevating off of the sternum.  This is a much bigger problem and difficult to correct optimally. Discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon. I'm sure you will like your final result!

It all depends on what you look like. With the implant under the muscle, they can only be "so close."  If put on top of the muscle and you try to get them close together, you can get something called symmastia which is a big breast right in the middle of your chest. Take what your body will give you and realize the limitations. Good luck!

The cleavage one has is dependent upon the natural anatomy.  Sometimes implants will push them closer together, but it is hard to predict in some.

This is a good question.  Your ability to have breasts close together after augmentation is related to the type and size of the implant, the amount of dissection toward the middle but most importantly related to the shape of your chest (ribs).  An experienced plastic surgeon will assess these factors for you and should be able to predict how your cleavage will change.
