No Symmastia

It does not look like you have symmastia. I think it is a bit early and as things settle they will look even better!

Not Symmastia After Breast Augmentation

You definitely don't have symmastia and are unlikely to develop it at this point. There still remains a visible attached segment of skin between the breast mounds on the sternum This is the amount of cleavage that many breast augmentation patients want to achieve and cannot because of the spacing between their breasts.

Symmastia, Yes or No?

Symmastia occurs when there is significant blunting at the center or midline of the chest due to over dissection of the inner portion of the breasts. Good news! Based on your photos, you do not have symmastia! Thanks for your question and photos. Best wishes!

Symmastia after Breast Augmentation?

Thank you for the question and pictures. No, I do not think that you have developed symmastia. If you do feel a lot of pressure in the cleavage area, see if your plastic surgeon recommends the use of a "thong" bra for additional support. Best wishes.

7 Weeks Postop and Symmastia?

At 7 weeks, swelling has resolved and, if you have a space between your breasts, you are unlikely to have symmastia.

Not Symmastia

Thank you for your question and photos. It appears that you have had an excellent result. There is no evidence of symmastia as shown in your photos. Your results should continue to be stable. The narrow space between your breasts is a function of the size of the implants and your chest wall. As long as you are happy with the size, you should do well. Best wishes.

The posted photos show NO symmastia. The definition is that there is a communication between the breast implant pocket or a uni breast.

Symmastia

You do not have symmastia but you obviously have a very small distance between your breasts. As long as the skin remains adherent to your breast bone between your breasts you should be fine and I suspect that after 7 weeks if you were going to develop symmastia it would have done so already.

It does not appear that you have symmastia

Hello, Thank you for the question and photos. Your photos do not show symmastia. Your breast implants are very close in the midline (cleavage) but there does appear to be a distinct boundary. All the best, Dr Remus Repta

Symmastia

You do not have symmastia. The area between your breasts is still attached in the photos you show. Your breasts will get even better looking with time. Many patients yearn to have the type of cleavage which you have.

Symmastia?

Hi Mina, Symmastia occurs when the two implant pockets merge into one pocket over the breast bone and the breast gap (cleavage) "disappears". You do not have symmastia and are unlikely to develop it as your breasts continue to soften. Thanks for your question and good luck!

Synmastia

You do not have symmastia. If you are having persistent pain or pressure along the sternum, then a thong bra might be helpful for a short period of time.

Thank you for your reaponse. I don't feel any pressure or anything really. I feel as of they're my breast. I was curious because I have been reading about how a lot of women developed symmastia due to the fact that they're boobs are so close.
