4 weeks post Breast Augmentation dual plane 335 cc, could I have symmastia? (photos)

Question

I had dual plane 335cc allergan natrelle high profile round implants placed 4 wks ago ,I visited my surgeon for 2nd post op check up at two weeks , due to see him again Saturday, he applied a red liquid last visit & more steri strips ,not sure what the liquid is or why it was used? Also just want an opinion on how they seem to be healing as he also placed some rolled up gauze in between my breasts and told me to keep it there and now after some research I've done its set alarm bells of symastia?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

The selection of size and profile is interesting but there is no evidence that the two implants are sharing the same pocket. You do not have synmastia at present.

Ira H. Rex lll, MD · Answer

Your breasts are indeed very close together at the midline, but the photographs themselves don't reveal symmastia. You are still quite early postop, and you should follow your plastic surgeon's recommendations as things settle down.

James Murphy, FRCS(Plast) · Answer

Whilst your implants do look rather close together at the moment, there is no evidence that the pockets have joined up in the middle. I would let things settle down for the time being and see what sort of position if you end up with in a few months time.

Jeffrey E. Schreiber, MD, FACS · Answer

It's rare to get it so early.  Let the implants settle over 8-10 months and if you still have concerns you'll need to follow up with your plastic surgeon.

Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

No, you don't have symmastia. Your surgeon probably advised the gauze to prevent it. Your surgeon seems to be on top of your issues and you have been smart to get in for in person exams instead of worrying. Best of luck with your recovery, Dr. Nazarian
