Has any other surgeon ever sutured onto the cartilage onto ribs to correct symmastia? (Photos)

Asked By:ajoe_90 in Colorado Springs, CO

I just found out my surgeons game plan after the fact. I had significant symmastia of my left breast and needed repositioning. Going into the procedure there was no mention of him suturing onto my rib cartilage. So now I'm very nervous of the outcome and risks this may cause. I'm also concerned with how far apart they look. This is also day 1 post op. I will attach a photo of pre op and post op. Thanks!
