How Can I Get More Cleavage?
For many women, the idea of cleavage—the space between your breasts—may be associated with finding a bra that lifts and separates the breasts to a desired position. However, advancements in surgical techniques, refined processes, and cosmetic enhancement resources can make long-term cleavage goals much more attainable for many individuals. Below, our board-certified plastic surgeon in Waldorf, Dr. Ayman R. Hakki, shares his expertise in breast surgery with tips and insights on how to get more cleavage.
While there is no exact calculation for determining the right amount of cleavage, an experienced plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Hakki, can evaluate a patient’s anatomy along with their enhancement goals to find an ideal aesthetic. Generally, this begins with a breast augmentation consultation to discuss the particulars, such as the breast implant size, shape, and type (silicone or saline) and other factors that play a role in determining the appearance of cleavage. These aspects should typically include:
- Chest and torso measurements
- Overall body proportions
- Distance between the natural breasts
- Skin tightness and elasticity
- Amount of breast tissue
Breast augmentation can further target an ideal amount of cleavage with the placement of the breast implants in a strategic breast pocket position. For example, a narrower placement to bring breasts closer together when the natural breast cleavage is too wide and vice versa if breasts are too close to the middle. Additionally, an individual’s anatomy may work better with a silicone breast implant or a saline breast implant—also factoring in the width and profile of the breast implant—to ensure the appropriate space and separation for a natural-looking, aesthetically-pleasing amount of cleavage.
Moreover, when determining the best size, shape, and overall look of a breast augmentation, it can be helpful to review a plastic surgeon’s patient results gallery for breast augmentation examples. During this research, be sure to look at the cleavage area between the breasts, especially in photos without the support of a top garment, such as a bra or bikini top.
Alternatively, if an individual has had a previous breast augmentation and would like to correct or enhance the cleavage area, a procedure known as a fat transfer may provide a solution. Fat transfer, also known as fat grafting or fat injections, removes unwanted fat from virtually any area of the body—such as the hips, abdomen, thighs, arms, or back—via liposuction. The fat then gets processed by cleansing and purification before it is reinjected into a specific treatment area(s), such as the breasts.
To enhance the cleavage area, a fat transfer may be considered to reposition the existing breast implant pocket to correct the appearance of breasts being too close together or too wide apart. This innovative process opens up many possibilities for further enhancing breasts and cleavage for a long-lasting, beautifully contoured aesthetic outcome.
