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.
