Before I had the procedure my surgeon said I had pectus excavatum so I would have tight cleavage. I had 350cc high profile placed under the muscle. In September, it will be 4 years. I am worried that as they drop and have settled I am at risk for developing symmastia? Can you develop symmastia this long after surgery? And am I at risk?
Answer: Breasts Because of your pectus, your implants will tilt inward. I doubt you will get symmastia, but your breasts will touch because of your sternum. If you are concerned, you can go down in size and width.

Answer: Symmastia Symmastia is when the implant pockets are essentially touching - across the sternum. This is very uncommon if the implants are sub muscular. And also very unlikely to occur years later, unless there's been a trauma.

Answer: Symmastia While symmastia can occur years after surgery, it is a rare occurrence. Based on your photos, your cleavage tissue appears to be well-attached to the sternum, with no signs of early-stage symmastia. If you'd like to take extra precautions, consider avoiding bras that push your breasts together.
