What Is The Cause of Symmastia? What Can I Do Now? (photo)

I went to several ps in person that confirmed that I do have synmastia. Right now it is mild-moderate but can get worse if not fixed. I'm debating weather to just get them removed instead of going through what I hear is a semi difficult surgery especially if you can not find a surgeon that performs synmastia repairs. What is the cause of synmastia exactly?

A: Symmastia can be hard to correct

Having been referred 5 patients that I can think of, this is a difficult problem, but not as bad as you are led to believe.  The usual problem is too much dissection medially moving the implants too close together.  This combined with large implants are a set up.  You don't say how soon after surgery this occurred.  If I were treating you my plan would be smaller implants, more lateral dissection, a capsular flap to wall off the implants and the use of Strattice or Alloderm to reinforce the repair.  In my hands I have had good success with this treatment plan.  You might want to see several doctors before deciding what to do.  Good luck, Dr. Schuster in Boca Raton.

I Had Implants Done 27 Years Ago, Not Sure if They Are Saline or Silicone. How Can I Tell?

Is there any way to tell if I have silicone or saline implants?

A: It really doesn't matter at this point

Altho it is good to know whether these are saline or silicone, it really doesn't matter.  In all liklihood they are silicone as the saline would have ruptured and deflated.  I would certainly seek a plastic surgery consultation to have the implants changed since the FDA recommends they be changed every 10-15 years.  Unless there are significant medical reasons why it shouldn't be done I would recommend an exchange regardless of what they are.  Good luck, Dr. Schuster from Boca Raton

I'm in a Lot of Pain After 9 Months Breast Implant, What Could be Causing this?

On may 3, 2011 I had a second breast surgery from my left hand side. Some times I'm on so much pain.This pain come and goes.I'm taking 800 milligrams of ibuprofen to feel better. Some times came from the back, some times is from my nipple and if I push it hurt a lot. I had a mammogram and sonogram on June 2011. It came clear. I went to doctor and he send me for MRI and x-rays.I don't feel anything hard or round when I check myself.Sometimes it is a weird pain like a contraction.I'm scared.

A: It depends

A complete history is needed to sort out your problem. In general, alot of pain 9 months after breast surgey is not a normal sign.  Typical causes are capsular contracture and infection, unless there was trauma.  You mentioned a mammogram performed 1 month postop.  That would have been very early and certainly could have caused some pain.

You should follow up with your surgeon or if he/she is not giving you the answers/reassurance you need, then consider a second opinion.

Good luck.
