I’m 4 months PO 5’3 116lbs. I have 400cc L and 400cc R. (Under the muscle )I think I’m developing Symmastia. I’ve contact my PS and he said it was swelling and I just need another opinion.

Answer: Symmastia A small amount of skin evelation is usually not a problem as long as the implant pockets are still distinct and the implants are “staying on their own side.” If the midline is violated a revision procedure may be recommended.I would recommend seeing another Board-Certified surgeon for a second opinion.

Answer: Symmastia Dear Paula1012,symmastia is a rare breast condition that occurs when soft web-like breast tissue pulls breast implants towards each other, until the breasts meet uncomfortably at the center of the chest near the sternum (the body’s midline point). Given this abnormal union, symmastia is known by many other names, including breadloafing, kissing breast implants, and the uniboob.Unfortunately, this condition causes the surrounding skin and pectoral muscles to literally lift off the breast bone as the implants are pulled together. This consequently causes pain and discomfort, as well as obvious distortion of the breasts, which can only be disguised with clothing that does not show cleavage.You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper assessment. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery
