5 weeks post-op. Do I have the beginnings of symmastia? (photos)

Dear anonyme84,
Symmastia is a rare breast condition that occurs when soft web-like breast tissue pulls breast implants towards each other, until the breasts meet uncomfortably at the center of the chest near the sternum (the body’s midline point). Given this abnormal union, symmastia is known by many other names, including breadloafing, kissing breast implants, and the uniboob.Unfortunately, this condition causes the surrounding skin and pectoral muscles to literally lift off the breast bone as the implants are pulled together. This consequently causes pain and discomfort, as well as obvious distortion of the breasts, which can only be disguised with clothing that does not show cleavage.
Based on your photos, it looks like you don't have symmastia. 
I understand your concern and it is quite normal to be concerned about the outcome following a breast augmentation surgery. However, you are still in the very early stages of the healing process.Your will need to be patient at this moment and follow what your surgeon has instructed you to do post operatively.At the early stage of the healing process, the tissues around the implants are still swollen. Once the swelling subsides and the implants drop to their final position, you will be able to see the final result of your breast augmentation surgery.

Fortunately, it appears that the skin and soft tissue over the sternum has maintained its attachments. If these attachments are lost and the skin pulls away from the sternum, it is often difficult to correct. Your implants do however appear somewhat close together. The base width of the implant appears wider than its predecessor. 
I recommend waiting for the swelling to subside and the hypervascularity of healing to abate. In 3-6 months, you may wish to consider an implant with a smaller base width. 
The most important measurement is the base width of the implant. If you drop a vertical line from the medial most and lateral most aspects of the breast, and measure the distance between them, this suggests a base width. If an implant is too narrow, you will not have adequate cleavage. If wider than the base width, you will have excessive cleavage and “lateral boob”.  The fill of the implant then determines the amount of forward projection. I recommend you visit an implant website (e.g. Mentor) as they will list base widths, fill options, and projections for each implant size they offer. 

Maintain close contact with your plastic surgeon.
