Can you tell from these photos if I have symmastia? (Photo)

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.

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.

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. 

Dear Fantastic462858,
based on your photos, it doesn't looks like you have symmastia. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Symmastia occurs when there is no valley or cleavage between the breasts. Other names have been given like "bread-loafing" or "Unaboob." It does not appear that you have this condition. You do have sharp definition between the implant and the chest wall in the upper pole, because you are so thin. This commonly happens when implants are placed in the subglandular space as opposed to the subpectoral pocket. This could be corrected with fat injections to soften the transition. 

Hi and thank you for your question.  While your implants are close together, it does not appear as though you have symmastia.  Symmastia by definition is where your breast implants cross the midline of your chest, in fact in cases of symmastia patients will often refer to their breasts as almost singular because there is no space between them.  To repair or correct breast symmastia a surgical revision would be required where pocket revisions would be performed with or without reinforcement with surgical mesh. If you are looking to have less cleavage, you could discuss an implant exchange for smaller implants with your board certified plastic surgeon.  I hope that this helps! 

Based on the photos does not look like symmastia. If you want less cleavage the easiest approach would be a narrower implant. If you had symmastia(also spelled synmastia) i would put mesh in to support the tissue repair.

Symmastia (unibreast) occurs when the pockets cross the midline and meet in the middle lifting the skin off the sternum. You don't appear to have that.
