Symmastia occurred in 1988 with implant surgery. Never corrected. Explanted 3 weeks ago. Looking for information on suture placement to repair without surgery.
Answer: You are just three weeks out Now that the implants are removed, this may improve on its own. I would wear a symmastia prevention bra for two months and see where we are

Answer: Symmastia Repair Hello, thank you for your question. Symmastia can be a complex issue, especially after long-term implant placement. Please see the attached video that discusses your question in detail. While non-surgical methods may offer temporary support or minor improvements, they are unlikely to provide a definitive solution for symmastia. If you're considering any non-invasive methods, consult with a plastic surgeon or a medical professional experienced in breast health for tailored advice based on your specific situation. They can guide you on the best path forward, whether that involves further surgical options or a focus on non-surgical support.

Answer: Symmastia Dear Warmhearted378148, based on your photo, it looks like you don't have symmastia. Also, you are in early postoperative period so it is best to wait to fully heal and see the final results.

Answer: Symmastia Without the implants lifting the tissues you may not need further intervention. Compression may be helpful as you heal. I encourage you to speak with your surgeon for guidance.
