Do Breast Implants Produce Cleavage?

Most women believe that breast implants, by themselves, will automatically create cleavage. However, developing cleavage is also dependent on several other factors, such as:

  • Breast Bone Width
  • Angle of Ribs to Chest

If a woman does not have the ideal body type to automatically have cleavage with traditional breast augmentation surgery, other enhancements can usually be made. Some of these include pocket modifications (modifying the space created for the implant) or possibly even a breast lift to re-arrange the tissue from the pre-existing skin and breast.

While pocket modification can help be cautious about undergoing surgery that elevatethe skin over the breast bone, the sternum, to allow the pocket to extend closer to the midline. There is a risk that the pocket may extend to close to the midline making the results of breast augmentation look unnatural.

Another factor in regards to utilizing breast implant surgery to increase cleavage is the shape of implant a woman chooses. Since each individual’s body is unique, selecting the proper implant shape is critical to ensuring the ideal cleavage appearance is attained.
For women whose anatomy does not naturally allow for cleavage, the added breast volume from a breast augmentation will help. There are bras that can not only “push-up” but that can also can move the breasts toward the midline. With increased breast volume there is usually noticeably enhanced cleavage, even when there was no visible cleavage before breast augmentation.
