I have had symmastia for as long as i can remember. I have always had small breasts. 32 A at this point, but I have never been able to have a cleavage no matter what kind of bra i use. I am content with my breast size but would like to have the symmastia fixed. My question would be about the cost of this surgery and the recovery time. Also, what type of insurance do you take?
Answer: Congenital symmastia? Difficult to give you precise advice without in person examination but patients with congenital symmastia you may benefit from liposuction surgery of the pre sternal area. Whether this is a good option for you will depend on the physical examination; the amount of tissue over the sternal area and the quality of the overlying skin elasticity are important considerations.I have also treated a few patients with "congenital symmastia" with a first stage breast augmentation surgery along with liposuctioning; a second stage procedure involving capsulorraphy ( adjustment of the breast implant capsules along the cleavage area) was used to create better definition between the breasts. When it comes to cost of surgery, there may be many “variables” involved. The specific surgeon's credentials/experience level (or lack thereof), the specific geographic area you are looking at, the different operations available, the location of the procedure ( quality of surgery facility), type/quality of anesthesia provider… are some of the potential variables involved.

Answer: Symmastia? You would have to be evaluated in person to determine what it looks like and what the possible options of treatment could be. Best of luck.

Answer: Repair symmastia The correction of congenital symmastia may involve many different techniques and surgical interventions. Without an in person exam is difficult to say just what you would need. Because this is more of a cosmetic issue, I doubt insurance would cover this. I haven't taken insurance for 22 years so I may be not the best person to ask. I would try to find a board-certified plastic surgeon in your region with experience in cosmetic breast surgery. The cost of this usually will directly reflect the amount of expertise of the surgeon and the level of sophistication of the operating room environment. Having a board-certified anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist in a nationally certified operating room will cost more than the same procedure done in an office setting under local anesthesia.Some locations in the country, like New York or California, may be more expensive than Kentucky. Good luck.
