Is this symmastia, pseudo symmastia, or tenting? (photo)

Hello and thank you for your question. It is very difficult to answer this (espcially over the web) without preop photos before implants.

Dear user162626,

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 or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

You do not have symmastia. The pocket is not crossing the midline. You have large implants and may want to consider smaller implants with medial plication, if you want to improve the appearance.

Best Wishes,

The term does not matter, but your implants are too large for your frame. You need to go with smaller implants, I suggest no larger than 450 cc's, and a higher profile. The medial borders can be tightened if needed.

This is symmastia.
Correction would involve suturing the muscle into position and placing the implants above the muscle
