7 months post op - could I be experiencing symmastia? (photos)

Question

I had my surgery about 7 months ago now and have been concerned with the absence of a gap between my breasts when they are pushed together and when I bend over. I have raised issues with my surgeon but he does not seem to want to recognise the issue and I am seeking other opinions on the matter

Daniel Barrett, MD · Answer

Dear Cami.g,
based on your photos, it doesn't look like you have symmastia. I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

It's difficult to tell from the provided photos if symmastia is present.  If it is, it is a mild case.  When you visit other surgeons for their opinion you should be able to have a more definitive answer.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

Your photos are limited and do not provide a full view of your breasts. with what I see, I doubt you have symmastia, but your implants are probably too large and wide for your frame. Please submit better photos with you standing nude and arms at your sides.

Elaina Chen, MD · Answer

It's hard to tell with photographs in a bra that push your breasts together, and without a preop photograph to compare. Are your implants submuscular, subfascial, or subglandular? Some patients naturally have symmastia that is made more noticeable with breast augmentation. Without these additional pieces of information, it's difficult to give you any recommendations.
