Natural symmastia repair (Photo)

Hello,I recommend that you seek a board certified Plastic Surgeon who specialises in reconstructive breast augmentation or who has experience with this particular correction. There could be a variety of options to get you closer to your aesthetic goals. All the best

Hello, there are several ways to try to create a more defined space between the breasts, but you would need a proper assessment to discuss options and determine if it is feasible to do the  synmastia repair and implant surgery at the same time.

I appreciate your question.

I repair natural symmastia with liposuction in the center, and internally place a shaped implant under the muscle. Also, sometimes internal sutures need to be placed.



The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic
and restorative plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Good afternoon!Natural synmastia is a condition I run into about once a year, so it is pretty uncommon. My approach is as follows- liposuction a narrow channel directly up the midline to thin the subcutaneous tissue thickness. Then I go in through a nipple incision, lift up the muscle, place Internal Bra sutures along the midline to perform the synmastia repair, and place your implants. This technique has worked well for the 10-12 patients I have operated on!

such as yours can be improved but there are risks that it may not be perfect and require revisions, especially with anchoring the skin over the sternum/midline.  So make sure whomever you see has a decent revision policy.  Best wishes!

Difficult to give you precise advice without in person examination but patients with congenital symmastia you may benefit from liposuction surgery of the pre sternal area. Whether this is a good option for you will depend on the physical examination; the amount of tissue over the sternal area and the quality of the overlying skin elasticity are important considerations.I have also treated a few patients with "congenital symmastia" with a first stage breast augmentation surgery along with liposuctioning; a second stage procedure involving capsulorraphy ( adjustment of the breast implant capsules along the cleavage area) was used to create better definition between the breasts. You may find the attached link helpful to you as you learn more. Best wishes.

Thank you for the question and the photos and the natural symmastia can be repaired via liposuction while an augmentation is performed.  So go on some consults with experts in your area till you find the right surgeon for you.Dr. Corbin
