Do I have uniboob? Or tenting? (Photo)

Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well..

The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but  also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast tissue..

Thank you for your question about
recovery from Breast Lift with Implants.Based solely on the pictures you have provided, it appears that you have signs of symmastia, also referred to sometimes as uniboob. Large breast implants can present and increased risk for symmastia and other breast implant complications.
For specific questions about this and about your
recovery in general, it is best to speak directly with your doctor or doctor’s
representative – such as his or her nurse, or the physician on call for the
practice.You will likely get many differing
opinions from members of the RealSelf Community, but they have not physically
seen or examined you. Nobody should know you or your unique set of circumstances
better than your doctor.If you feel you are not being
listened to or you are doubting your doctor’s recommendations, then it is
certainly within your rights to seek a second opinion and get the advice from
another board certified physician. This should
be done through an in-person consultation with a thorough evaluation, including
a review of your history, review of all prior treatment and with a physical
examination.Obviously, if you think that you
are having a medical emergency or other serious problem, you should call 911
and/or go to your nearest emergency room.
Best Wishes.

From your photographs, it does appear that you have synmastia. Synmastia is when the two breast pockets made for the
implants connect to each other. This will produce a tunnel connecting the two
implants across the chest wall that is sometimes noticeable as skin pulling
away from the breastbone. It is best diagnosed in person by squeezing on one
side and seeing if the implant passes through this tunnel towards the opposite
side. It seems to be more common when implants are placed on top of the muscle
rather than below because, the muscle coming off the ribs, is further away from
where the breastbone starts. When some attempt at making a wide breast space
narrower is made, this may result in the pockets being very close to each
other, such that with time and the pressure of the underlying implant, a tunnel
is created between the pockets. In my experience, attempts to repair this with
simple suturing techniques have failed. I've seen many a patient after these
attempts with little depressions in the skin that are very hard to correct. The
best correction involves either making a new pocket under the muscle and on top
of the old capsule or creating a flap of breast capsule and suturing it to a
piece of non stretchable material such as pigskin that we call Strattice. I
would recommend that you go back to your operating surgeon to discuss these
possibilities based on his or her examination. Good luck.
