6 months ago I had 20-yr old large implants removed and a lift. I noticed my skin stretching slightly off of my sternum after getting the original implants but since they have been removed, it’s obviously much. I am a bit surprised that my surgeon didn’t address this recently during the X plant and lift. She did mention things like dermal matrixes, or the only way to fix it would be new implants, but seems reluctant to address it. I need a second opinion but not sure where to start.
Answer: What is symmastia? Symmastia literally translates to “one breast.” It is a condition that can be present from birth but is usually acquired after breast implant surgery. The problem usually comes from being too aggressive trying to get tight cleavage. Mild ones can usually be corrected by downsizing to a smaller implant and suturing the capsule closer to breast bone down to the ribs. More severe one generally require a mesh or acellular dermal matrix (ADM) to repair.

Answer: Regaining volume after removing breast implants For most patients, the initial deflated appearance and breast volume after an explant surgery will go away eventually. The breasts will regain some of their natural volume in time.

Answer: Instead of implant we recommend to you breast fat injection. As far as I can see, your breasts are very small after removing the prosthesis, so fat injection may be a very good option to make voluma to your breasts even a little bit. because if your before surgeon put silicone implant again you may have a problem with implants. fat injection will solve your volume problem. your sternum excess skin will be removed during the surgery.

Answer: Breast Sagging Implant, Removal, with mastopexy many times can result in residual skin laxity due to the skin being stretched out for so many years from the previous implant. That being said, replacement of the implants in a submuscular plane would help improve superior, pull fullness and maintain breast tissue elevation Additionally, liposuction around the lateral aspect of the breast could improve overall appearance. In regards to your sternal region, your implants may have caused a slight bit of symmastia previously, and this could be addressed at the time of replacement implants.
