Does symmastia two years after surgery have any health risks? Does it need to be fixed with surgery? (Photo)

Question

Hello Doctors, I would app if you advise me what to do. I had breast implant surgery about 2 years ago, after a month post surgery , my implan dropped and did revision surgery. However, i had terrible experience and the doctor did not explain to me anything everything I ask he would say it will be alright. Now I disco I had symmastia, I always tho this will be solve but itself, no one explained to me that it will not. My question is, does it have health related problems or it is only about the appearance ? Is it going to increase ? Because I am really scared of doing any surg again due to my last experience I always think if i ever do another surgery I will not wake up from it. And to be honest I can’t afford a surgery now. So is there anything i can do and just want that it doesn’t affect my health or it has risks

Hi, thank you for reaching out.
Because the photo is taken from a very close angle, it is not possible to make a reliable assessment at this stage. Could you please upload additional photos taken from a wider angle so the area can be evaluated more accurately.
Thank you for your understanding. This will help us guide you in a clearer and more helpful way.

Symmastia is mostly an aesthetic concern. It happens when the implants are positioned closer together near the midline of the chest than is ideal. This happens much more commonly when the implants are placed above the muscle. Some patients may experience pain or discomfort as a result of the symmastia, but it's most of an issue with the appearance of the breast. The best ways to address symmastia are with surgery to move the implants to the correct position and to prevent them from migrating toward the center of the chest again.
If would be helpful to see your pre-operative photos and a more general picture of your current appearance to determine if this condition is present in your case.
