325cc, moderate profile, implants very close & ache sometimes, do I have symmastia? (Photos)

Question

Hi there I have 325cc moderate profile. My implants are very close and ache sometimes. I have recently been away and in certain pictures it looks like I have symmastia. They don’t look good they look saggy and just not right centrally. My surgeon disagrees and states I have a good result.

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From the submitted photos it does not appear you have symmastia.  The discomfort you describe could be related to a variety of things.  If your surgery is recent you still may be recovering.  It could also be due to hormone fluctuations throughout the month.  I encourage you to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

Chul Hwan Seul, MD, PhD · Answer

I have a mild suspicion of symmastia, but a thorough examination is needed to confirm its presence. It's important to note that even if mild symmastia is detected, a reoperation may not be necessary if there are no significant cosmetic concerns. However, if you are experiencing substantial cosmetic issues and are highly dissatisfied with the appearance, you may wish to consider the option of reoperation.

Dear denver1994,
I understand your concern. Based on your photos, it looks like you don't have symmastia. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Based on these photos you have symmastia. Second opinion consultation with another board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in breast surgery is recommended. Good luck.

For the size you picked, they are fine. However, a smaller size implant would fit your frame and tissue better.
