Answer: My sternum protrudes after breast enlargement? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without an in-person examination, or full series of photographs, it is difficult to render a definite opinion or treatment recommendation. I would revisit your surgeon to voice your concerns and discuss revision possibilities. Best wishes.

Answer: Mono boob? without pictures it's hard to say what's going on. A monoboob is where your implants come close or touch in the middle and then your sternum would not be visible. If your sternum is protruding and your influence would be falling more to the side. It would be best to follow up with your doctor or get a second opinion by a board-certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: Sternum protrudes.... It sounds like you're describing symmastia. This is the term applied when breast implants can reach and get past the sternum. Symmastia is more likely to occur when the patient choose very large breast implants and implants that are bigger and wider than recommended. One approach to achieve improvement/correction would be the use of smaller textured breast implants in completely different pocket. Seeing a highly experienced plastic surgeon is important for treatment of this complication.
