Do I have a mild congenital symmastia? (Photos)

Question

I'm interested in having a breast augmentation and would prefer over the muscle placement subfascial but was told I can't have it if I have congenital symmastia. My sister has it and I was wandering if I have it too. Please let me know, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

From the submitted photos it doesn't appear you have symmastia.  You should have a nice result from breast augmentation.  I've included a video on the procedure I hope you find helpful.

Dear 838383karina,

based on your photos, it looks like you don't have congenital symmastia. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Based upon your photos, there is no evidence of a symmastia.

Symmastia is typically defined by an absence of cleavage and a medial confluence of breast tissue,

I would not let these concerns keep you from exploring surgery.

As always, discuss your concerns with a board certified plastic surgeon (ABPS).

Your photos do not suggest the presence of symmastia. I would expect the placement to be safe in either location, but I would favor going under the muscle.

From your photographs, I do not see any indication of symmastia.  It looks like you are and in excellent position to get a great result!
