Answer: Cosmetic surgery outcome To make an assessment regarding the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we always need to see proper before and after pictures. Without knowing what you look like before the procedure, we can’t really make an assessment regarding the changes from the surgery. Not everyone seeking cosmetic. Surgery are ideal candidates for the procedure, and this needs to be taken into consideration. It would also be very important to know if your implants were placed below the pectoralis muscle, which I’m assuming that they were. If so, you need an examination to see if the origin of the pectoralis muscle is still attached along the sternum. Some people have virtually no fat over their sternum. Well, some women have a significant fat layer between the two breast, and this can be perceived as symmastia. Follow up with your provider or schedule if you in person, a second opinion consultations with other providers in your community. For a second opinion, consultations come prepared to bring with you a complete set of before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report. These are all available from your current providers office if you request them.Best, Mats Hagstrom, MD
