Upset by lack of cleavage

Kittykat1 · 10-08-2009, 09:39 PM

I'm kinda upset by my lack of cleavage. I'm six weeks post-op and I feel like I'm never gonna be able to push them together. You can see by my avatar they are pretty far apart. Are they easier to push up and together after they soften up more or is this just how it's going to be?

I'm wondering the EXACT same thing! *pouts* I want cleavage!

lisa789 · 10-08-2009, 09:46 PM

ME TOO! I've tried on some push up bras but it's I'm not getting the effect I'd like. It's still early, though.... fingers crossed!

Maybe, maybe not. It depends on your chest, your natural cleavage and the implants used.

It was about 12 weeks before I could push them together with my hands and now can do it with the right bra, but it's not easy. For me, I will never have a close cleavage. I have a mild form of Pectus Carinatum or "pingeon chest" which means my chest slopes (highest point at center of chest) so the implants are pulled by gravity out to the sides. My natural breast tissue did the same thing.

I am in the same boat. I am very disappointed with my lack of cleavage/projection. (pics in my profile). I really feel like I should have gone bigger.. hope that things change in the next few weeks. I am actually seriously considering a redo at this point. I am actually obsessing over!!
I really thought I was crazy. But I see plenty of other ladies that seem to be feeling this same way.

Dr. Rey explained to me that cleavage is determined by where your natural breast sit. If your breasts were far apart to begin with then there could be a chance you will still have a gap after determined on how big you go.
Dr. Rey did say that once the breast gets soft after the implants drop, then cleavage can be made.
I am concerned about this too because I have a wide space.
Hope this helps

No don't be sad!! Your boobs look sexy!!! I personally love the look with some space between the boobs. Unfortunately I got barely any space. I guess we always want what we can't have.

I had the same issue when I first got mine. They just wouldn't go together! It took a good 6 months before they would push together, and now 2 years later, I have to trouble with it even just putting a light bra on. You are still pretty early, so I wouldn't be too upset. Yes, it definitely depends on your natural breast bone shape, but give it some time.

Girl, you have awesome cleavage now. That makes me think at least there is some hope mine might at least be able to get somewhat closer later on!

michirukim · 10-09-2009, 06:44 PM

I think you just need to give it more time! I couldn't push my breasts before either but as they got softer, I;m able to move them now. Patience!

myturn2009 · 10-09-2009, 07:27 PM

I, too, have a huge gap bwtn my breasts. I hate it. I think cleavage is SO sexy and I want it. I seem to have a lot of side boob, which I love, so at least that makes me happy. I should have went bigger.

Horizon41 · 10-09-2009, 07:29 PM

This is one of the reasons for my redo if I can afford it, I have a consult for my cc on monday and possible redo because I have no cleavage and a gap that I would like closer so we are going to see what my options are

Patience, is a TRUE virtue, love!! I wanted cleavage two days before my breast augmentation, lol! But it wasn't until two years later that I got what I wanted. Now with the right kind of bra, I have it. And I can pretty much get whatever look I want depending on the clothes I wear. It does all depend on your original breast tissue make up!

Jaida · 10-09-2009, 09:14 PM

Thanks for asking this. I am 4w1d PO and can not push them together..oh and mine are still tender, especially lefty.

holly49k · 10-09-2009, 11:07 PM

don't fret and be patient! I couldn't get any cleavage til like the 8 month. You'll get it...eventually when they are soft enoughh.

How did you know that you had Pectus Carinatum? What type of implants did you get?

mprs · 11-06-2009, 07:52 PM

I think even with a wide gap, when the breasts finally soften up, give it 6 months, the right kind of bra will always give you cleavage! Personally if I had no other problems, cause I have a mess of them, I wouldnt even consider trying to achieve more. But since I am going for a revision, I'm going to ask anyway. I'll never have terrific cleavage, and I'd rather look natural. I like a woman with a space, you can play them up or down, it's hard to do that with cleavage. Look at the bright side.

My PS pointed it out to me. I always wondered why I always had side boob, even when I had no boobs. lol. When I laid down my boobs would totally fall to the side.
