I was born with symmastia. I never done any breast surgery or any surgery before in my life. I'm doing some research and look at a few pictures from symmastia and realize that this is what my chest look like. I feel so uncomfortable when wearing clothes especially clothes where I have to show off my breast. NO CONFIDENCE! What are the choices for me? Can I use a thong bra to separate them?

Answer: Correction of congenital symmastia
Congenital symmastia is rare - symmastia is most commonly seen as a complication of breast augmentation. It can potentially be corrected, however treatment needs to be individualized to the patient. I would recommend that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Good luck.
My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board-certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Answer: Correction of symmastia without implants?
Typically we see symmastia, or a confluence of the breasts where there should be some separation in the cleavage area, as a result of implants that push together. With implants, correction of the problem involves rebuilding the inner portion of the scar capsule, but it is a completely different situation without implants. There is no standard set of techniques so it may require some creativity, which fortunately is something that plastic surgeons are known for. I am sure there is some help for your condition and would advise that you see at least a few plastic surgeons.
