Do I have symmastia and should I consider a revision? (photo)

Dear Terrific62548,
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.You should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper assessment. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thanks for your question! It would be helpful to see before photos, but you do appear to have symmastia. I would simply suggest bringing it up in your next follow-up appointment. Your PS likely has a revision policy. It couldn't hurt to get a second opinion as well. Good luck!
