Symmastia repair: do you sew the skin down to the bone in cleavage? Or do you just hope it reattaches after surgery.

Asked By:sadgirl4 in Pennsylvania, PA

I have lose skin in cleavage after downsizing. I have been told I have symmstia and told I do not have symmstia by different surgeons. All board certified. I am confused. I need to know if when you fix symmstia do you use internal sutures in the cleavage area? If you have lateral displacement and symmstia can that be fixed at the same time? Are silicone implants much lighter than saline and better in a revision surgery?
