Symmastia or Tenting? (photos)

Thank you for your question and photographs.  Because your middle picture appears to demonstrate a well-demarcated separation between your breasts it does not appear that you have synmastia.  You have skin tenting that should resolve, depending on how long it has been since your surgery.  Ultimately talk to your surgeon as only an in-person examination can confirm the synmastia.  Hope this helps.

Some of the responses have indicated that they think you have symmastia. It is impossible to make that diagnosis without having more information--preop pics, size of implants, how long ago was your surgery, etc.Go see your surgeon and have him/her evaluate you further. Everything else is pure speculation.Best.

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. If you notice that the space between your breasts has disappeared following your breast augmentation or the skin in the area is raised to a certain extent, then you have developed symmastia (a condition that can also exist congenitally).Unfortunately without a physical exam it won't be possible to determine what you are experiencing. It does appear that you have tenting which, depending on your stage in recovery, could be expected to resolve somewhat. However, your Plastic Surgeon must examine you physically to rule out the issue of Synmastia.All the best

Thank you for your question and photos.  One can not diagnose based on photos alone.  I would recommend seeing your surgeon for an in person examination and evaluation.  Good luck.

I agree with my friend Dr. Salzman below.  You have symmastia.  The question is how much it bothers as corrections of this imperfection can be costly and difficult.Best Wishes,Nana Mizuguchi, MD
