I had a symmastia repair after getting implants. 10 permanent sutures were placed on each side. It is my understanding that with the capsulectomy portion of the explant, there is a risk of symmastia reoccurrence because part of the capsule could have been used to do the repair. I also want to know about the risk of symmastia reoccurrence if I have the permanent sutures removed.

Answer: Symmastia Symmastia occurs when implants are present and they cross the midline. Once the implants are removed, there are no implants to cross the midline. Unless you have large amounts of breast tissue that is abnormally positioned. You should not have symmastia after capsulectomy, explant and lift. The lift technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.

Answer: Risk of symmastia reoccurring after explant, capsulectomy and lift? While symmastia (unintended connection of the breast implants across the midline) is typically associated with implant placement, the risk of recurrence after explant, capsulectomy, and lift depends on various factors, including the surgical technique, tissue quality, and individual healing response. Discussing your concerns and medical history with a board-certified plastic surgeon can provide insights into your specific situation. Regular follow-ups and adherence to postoperative care recommendations are crucial in minimizing potential risks.
