Is this symmastia? (photos)

Question

Its only been 2 months since augmentation, is this true symmastia already?

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You do not have symmastia.  However, your implants are very close together and the nipple-areola complexes are pointing outward.  You would benefit from smaller implants and revision of the nipple-areola complexes.

Best Wishes,

Good afternoon,
Unfortunately your surgeon overdissected your pockets and gave you synmastia- you don't just have close cleavage- you have true synmastia. The thong bra isn't going to do you any good- you need a surgical repair. I correct synmastia with the Original Internal Bra, my strong permanent internal suturing technique- I first developed this technique over 20 years ago and today it is the most common revision I perform, at least 5-6 times a week- it works and it lasts!

Dear MaritheSV,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

NO, it is not symmastia. Best to discuss with your chosen surgeon the issues you are having. To me the results are acceptable to very good....

You have chosen large implants for your chest, so they will sit close together.  The implant base is a little wide for your chest.  Smaller implants would have fit your frame better and look more natural. This is really not symmastia, but I would not massage them inward.
