I Don't Have Symmastia but Still Looks Like Uniboob. Any Method to Restore my Skin Tissue? (photo)

Hello,

You are absolutely right, your breasts look great when you stand upright!  However, they are coming together and lifting the skin off of your sternum when you lean forward.  Unfortunately, this is symmastia and it's correction will require more than a non-surgical technique like skin tightening (BTW, your skin is tight enough there, and couldn't be tighter.)

Regardless of the placement of your implants above or below the muscle, there are a few good options for surgical correction.  Revision breast surgery is complicated and should be performed by very experienced surgeons.  Be sure yours has experience, otherwise do yourself a favor and find someone who does. 

I think you should be able to resolve this issue and have a great result.

Best of luck!

Symmastia is a condition which can occur when the implants are too close together. Patients often refer to this as a “uniboob.” Occasionally, the space or pocket for the breast implant is created towards the center, or the tissue stretches, forcing  the implants to fall too much towards the center of the breasts. . However, in your case, #symmastia appears possible when both arms are down at your sides. Therefore, it is best to consult with your plastic surgeon to better confirm and determine how it can be addressed if necessary. 

It does not look like symmastia according to your pictures but you should consult with your surgeon to be sure. Symmastia is a condition which can occur when the implants are too close together. Patients often refer to this as a “uniboob.” This can occur for the same reasons as displacement, but in this case the pocket(s) is/are too far towards the center.Correction of this problem may involve using different implants such as textured, a smaller size, or a smaller base and placing the implants in a new pocket. On occasion, this may require surgery in more than one stage to allow the tissues to heal and then place the implants. If the implants have been placed above the muscle, converting them under the muscle frequently will help and, again, the use of a dermal substitute may be required for additional support if the tissues are thin. The techniques of capsulorrhaphy and neopectoral pockets may apply here as well.
