My breasts are close together, could I have Symmastia? (Photos)

Question

I got a breast augmentation with lift , on 3/17/17 and I'm not happy with the look or the scaring but I've noticed how close my boobs are together in a bra , and I was wondering if I have symmastia...

I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your results. Based on your photos, you do not appear to have symmastia. There a distinct gap between your breasts which indicates that you are not suffering from Symmastia. What you are noticing is increased cleavage. The closeness of your breasts is determined primarily by your natural anatomy. Most likely, your breasts have always been somewhat close together, it has just become more noticeable after the size increase. Your breasts appear to have healed normally. Good luck!

Good morning!
I fix a LOT of synmastia, and I do not see any evidence from your photos. You have very close cleavage, which you most likely had naturally.I have attached a link to my Synmastia Repair / Internal Bra / Breast Augmentation 
Revision photo gallery for your review- you can check out some really synmastia cases- hope it helps!

Hi pockylaYou do NOT have synmastia.  Look at the sidewise pic without a bra.  There is a clear and distinct border along the medial portion (cleavage) of the breasts.  In synmastia, the breasts lack definition in this area.  Depending on the bra, the breasts can get smashed together and look crowded, but this is NOT synmastia.  You may need a larger cup size of different style of bra if you don't like how you look in the current bra.Scars take time to fade and soften.sek

Hello and thank you for your question and photo's.  You do not have symnastia , your breasts are just closer together and probably were prior to your surgery.
