Is symmastia primarily caused by surgeon error, anatomy or post-operative care? Also, are most board-certified BA surgeons trained to revise symmastia? Or only specialized reconstructive surgeons?

However, when I'm seated or hunched over, muscles relax and implants would slide medially and appear to be continuous. BA 400cc mod silicone under muscle- sternum skin raised, bras cause midline joining and diminish cleavage
