Excuse the breakout but how can I fix my no gap, chest lifting I think I’m getting a uniboob?
Answer: Synmastia Great question! You have an issue called synmastia where both breasts are touching each other, which can be due to one of several issues. Unfortunately the only way to correct this is a surgical treatment to separate the breasts and to bring the tissues back to the sternum. It is best to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon so that the procedure can be explained to you in detail.Best of luck and hope his information helps!

Answer: Synmastia / Internal Bra Repair Good morning!Unfortunately it does appear to be synmastia, and I correct this with the Internal Bra, my strong permanent internal suturing technique which corrects the synmastia and provides excellent long term support for your implants. I do use Strattice mesh in some situations, but usually I reserve it for failed repairs from other surgeons, which we unfortunately see quite often. It's a difficult, highly specialized repair, so choose your revision surgeon wisely. Make sure they can show you many of their own successful repairs. If they can't, then they probably haven't done one.

Answer: Correction of symmastia Uniboob, also called symmastia, can result when the implants are too wide and/or the pocket is extended too close to the middle. You will probably want to consider replacing with narrower base diameter implants along with closing the pocket toward the middle. This can be done with sutures alone (capsulorrhaphy) but in some cases requires reinforcement with Strattice or Galaflex mesh.

Answer: Am I getting a Uni-Boob? Without knowing what you looked like before surgery, it is tough to know if this is truly symmastia or simply amplification of something that was there before. Best to talk to the Plastic Surgeon who performed your surgery and consult with him/her about thoughts and possible treatment. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Synmastia Your synmastia requires a surgical correction. The best option surgically is to create a new pocket (neosubpectoral) and to support the new pocket medially with mesh to ensure longevity. By creating new pockets, your new implants will be separated and your cleavage should be excellent. This is an operation that should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, particularly one with an expertise in aesthetic revision surgery. Good luck!
