Do I have symmastia and should I consider a revision? Over 1 year post op. (photo)

November 15, 2022
Asked By:Missytexas08 in West Texas, TX

I had a breast aug done over a year ago and the doc told me I could fit 500 hp silicon. I’m just now realizing that the skin connects at the bottom where the sternum is and I do have raised skin there too. I just absolutely hate the thought of having to have a revision and I have so much anxiety over this. My husband never even noticed the issue. I’m just wanting an honest opinion from a doctor if you think this needs to be corrected . Thanks so much
