Over 2 years post-op. Do I have symmastia? Please help! (Photo)

Question

Over 2 years ago I got 275cc implants over the muscle by a board certified plastic surgeon. Despite being unhappy with the outcome for a while, I only recently realised that the closeness and lifted skin between my boobs was actually the result of poor implantation. If I do indeed have symmastia, where can I get help that is most likely going to fix this?

Dear Kagaroosjenna,
I understand your concern. 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.

You have some mild symmastia. If this bothers you, your medial pockets could be tightened, and your lateral pockets could be released. You would need to avoid bras that pushed your breasts closer and underwire bras for a while. Many times this happens because of wearing an incorrect bra.
