I had surgery 3 months ago (under the muscle, 375 MP+) & just had a post op appointment a few days ago. I googled symmastia & now I’m worried because my breasts are really close together. I tried calling my doctor but it’s saturday so the office is closed. Is it swelling or do I have symmastia? Is there anything I can do to make a bigger gap in between my breasts? Should I be worried?

You are in the very early stages of healing from your breast augmentation procedure. Over the next few months your breast will change. Give it time for your implants to settle and you should be very pleased.
Thanks for your question. It sounds more like you have a post op seroma or fluid collection that is leaking out of the breast. Silicone gel is clear in color and thick, and while it is not likely that you have a leaking implant I would never say it was "impossible". Your surgeon should...
At 3 months post op, you should be fine to go through the process. Pregnancy may alter the breast, but I would recommend you wear a good support bra. This should help. Check in with all treating physicians.
