Dr. Kevin Bounds is a leading plastic surgeon in Virginia Beach who is committed to serving his patients and delivering excellent results. Learn more about how he can give you the cleavage you desire with personalized treatment.
Breast Lift
Several factors can influence the appearance of the breasts over time, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, and changes in weight. This can lead to a decrease in cleavage, which is defined as the space between the breasts. A breast lift removes excess skin and fat in the breasts and reshapes them to produce a firmer, more youthful profile. While many patients enjoy this result, if you are specifically after more cleavage, a breast augmentation may be the ideal treatment for you.
Breast Augmentation
Breasts that are closer together on the chest wall create the appearance of more cleavage, and this result can be achieved with breast augmentation. During your initial consultation with Dr. Bounds, you will be able to discuss how you would like to look after surgery. If improved cleavage is important, Dr. Bounds can create an individualized treatment plan with your goals in mind. For example, if your breasts are naturally farther apart from each other and you have a smaller amount of cleavage, Dr. Bounds can decrease the distance between the breasts by placing your implants closer together.
What Happens During Surgery?
Before your breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Bounds will examine factors such as your skin quality and breast tissue, the distance between your breasts, and your choice of breast implants. During surgery, Dr. Bounds will use one of two techniques to place your implants: subglandular, which involves implant placement over the chest muscle, and submuscular, which describes implants that are placed under the chest muscle and glandular tissue. He will also determine which adjustments will need to be made during surgery to ensure the implants are at the right distance from one another to create the desired amount of cleavage.
