How to Optimize Your Cleavage After Breast Augmentation

Many people believe that breast augmentation results in larger breasts as well as fuller and more prominent cleavage. However, achieving the desired cleavage after surgery requires proper planning and careful consideration. It's best to speak with an experienced breast augmentation surgeon in Houston, TX, to discuss your specific goals.

We understand that patients have questions about what to expect from breast augmentation surgery. For example, how long do breast implants last? And how can you increase breast size even further? Below, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rolando Morales will address these common concerns and provide helpful tips on how to achieve fuller cleavage after breast implants. Call Morales Plastic Surgery for a cleavage enhancement consultation today.

How long do breast implants last?

Implants are not considered lifetime devices. So, how long do breast implants last? While they may need to be replaced after a certain period of time, the good news is that many patients enjoy their implants for 20 years or more before considering an implant exchange. Factors such as weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can affect the appearance of your breasts and may warrant revision surgery.

Will I have better breast cleavage after surgery?

Most people confuse cleavage with cup size, but this term actually refers to the gap or distance between the breasts. A wider gap causes less cleavage, while a narrower gap gives you more.

If your breasts are spaced far apart before breast surgery, this will continue to be the case afterward. The same can be said for women with breasts that are close together. Because everyone has a unique anatomy, we cannot always ensure better cleavage. That said, our trained breast augmentation surgeon in Houston, TX, can still produce amazing breast augmentation results.

Patients should have realistic expectations when it comes to cleavage. Attempting to force cleavage enhancement through implants may result in poor outcomes. During an assessment, Dr. Morales can help you understand what to expect from breast augmentation surgery.

What happens when implants are placed too close together?

It may seem like placing the breast implants closer together can optimize your cleavage. However, this can result in complications such as symmastia, also known as "uniboob." This occurs when the pockets are placed too close together and merge, forming one large pocket. While symmastia is uncommon, it does need to be treated through revision surgery.

How to achieve fuller cleavage after breast implants

For patients who desire more prominent cleavage, there are a few options to consider:

• Choosing the right size and shape of implants: The right implant size and shape can still enhance your appearance. Our surgeon will guide you in choosing the best implant size and shape possible for your body.
• Combining breast lift with augmentation: Breast lift surgery can reposition your breasts and reduce sagging skin. When combined with augmentation, patients see even more dramatic results.
• Fat grafting: For patients who want to increase their breast size without implants, fat grafting is a viable option. This involves using liposuction to remove fat from one part of your body, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts.
