Thoughts on suggested symmastia repair?

August 6, 2022
Asked By:Babjbr in Madison, WI

I currently have 340cc silicone implants placed above the muscle. A couple months after surgery my left implant had crossed over the center of my chest and touches the right implant. My PS believes this occurred due to my chest caving inwards and my left breast crossing the midline of my chest before BA. His anticipated repair is to downsize my left implant to 310cc, suture the pocket tighter and use galaflex mesh to provide additional support. Would this approach provide lasting results?
