Early Signs of Symmastia? (photo)

Question

Hi, I had a straightforward BA done 2 weeks ago and have been feeling well ever since, in fact I was surprised how easy it has been recovering! However I am slightly concerned that I may be developing Symmastia. There is hardly any gap between my breasts and that is the only area where I feel discomfort. The skin between the breasts is raised and tender and it sometimes feels like it is tearing. It is not painful as such more of a discomfort. Should I be worried? Many thanks in advance.

Yes, your cleavage is close but you do not have Symmastia. You are very early in your recovery.  You will experience tenderness and aches and pains for a while yet.  This is very normal. Listen to your surgeon's direction. When all healed, you will have a very nice result.

No, your pictures do not demonstrate the presence of symmastia. You may find the symmastia bra or a reversed T Bra helpful to you when it comes to discomfort;  run the use of these garments by your plastic surgeon.

	 Best wishes.

Based upon the question and posted photos you do NOT have symmastia! Best to discuss with your chosen operative surgeon this issue!

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

It does not look like you are developing symmastia.  Certainly the tissues are stretching, if you are overly concerned see your doctor in person.

C. Coleman Brown, MD, FACS · Answer

I agree with the other physicians, this is not symmastia. However, it looks like the implants are slightly toward the center and not centered under the areolae as we may want. I would look into getting a bra that pushes them out slightly and keeps the center free of implant. The thong-bra, or similar is something I have seen before. Also start massaging them within their capsule to make sure they dont stay there.
