I have had my implants done over a year ago and the dr recommended 300 cc moderate profile. The dr advised these would sit nice and high on my rib cage and create good cleavage and roundness like I was seeking.. It’s been a year and the implants are 5 inches apart. Is this normal? I returned to the dr and he said it’s my rib cages fault and there is nothing that can be done.
Answer: Breast implant revision Thank you for your question. I have heard the story so many times and been able to improve the shape of similar breasts. There is no question that you needed a lift from the very beginning. If you want more cleavage, then I would perform a internal bra/capsulorrhaphy procedure. I wrote the very first paper on how to do this in 1999. I have been in practice for over 30 years and revisionary breast surgery is a large part of my practice. You should be able to get exactly the shape and size that you desire. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Lift recomended It looks like your nipples are located below your breast fold which means your breasts are sagging. Without seeing a before photo, it would be difficult to say if the sagging existed before your surgery. If it did, a lift would have been appropriate. The lift would have reshaped your breasts to make them fuller and perkier. Cleavage is mainly dependant on how far your breasts are naturally spaced apart, and implants and a lift can can only give you a subtle improvement.

Answer: Explant with Bellesoma Method You have not provided before photographs. However, if your breasts were widely separated before implants then the breasts will be widely separated after implants because the implants have to be centered underneath the nipple-areola complexes. At this time, I recommend explantation and lift using The Bellesoma Method. The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery. Later, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Results The distance between the implants is due to your anatomy and cannot be changed. This distance is unique to the patient. The implants appear to sit low on the chest wall. If you want a "perkier" look a breast lift would help raise the nipple position and give more upper pole fullness.

Answer: Augmentation outcome Surgeons can’t move your breast position on your chest wall. If your breast sit wide apart then the surgeon has to decide if the implants should be centered on each breast or placed towards the midline. If placed closer together you’ll have more cleavage, but the implants will not be centered on your breast.
