Question

If I have Symmastia, how is it corrected?

Donald R. Revis Jr, MD · Answer

Good afternoon!I fix a LOT of synmastia using the Original Internal Bra, my strong permanent internal suturing technique. You do not have synmastia based on the photos you posted- it appears like your skin is well adherent to the sternum and none of the photos show any lifting of the skin.

Ronald J. Edelson, MD · Answer

Synmastia is where there is a communication between the two implant pockets across the midline. Your result looks pretty good and I don't see synmastia. You even have a very nice cleavage, often difficult to obtain.

Gary M. Horndeski, MD · Answer

You do not have symmastia but have large breasts that are too low on the chest wall and downward pointing nipples.  You need smaller implants or explantation.  The technique I recommend is explantation with lift using The Bellesoma Method.  The implants are removed, your breast tissue is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.  Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained, if not injured during your previous surgery.  Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.  Implants are not lifetime devices.  8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years.  Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Hi.  I do not think you have symmastia. Symmastia is when there is no space in between the breasts and the implants move freely from one side to the other.   You can create a different look by changing the implant size or style if you want.   talk to your PS if you want to make a change.   Best of luck!

Based on your photos, I do not think you have symmastia.   Some women have, or would love to have, your result.
