I have a form of congenital symmastia. Do you think implants would make this worse? Also.. has any of you ever some a congenital symmastia repair?
Answer: Can I get breast implants with congenital symmastia? Thank you for the question and pictures. Yes, it is possible to have breast augmentation surgery done despite having “congenital symmastia”. I have had the opportunity to help several patients with this condition; in these cases I have combined liposuction surgery of the pre sternal area with breast augmentation surgery. A second stage operation (capsulorraphy) may be helpful in improving the “definition” of the medial breast border (cleavage) if necessary. During the second stage procedure additional liposuction surgery, direct excision of tissue of the pre-sternal area, and/or the use of acellular dermal matrix has been helpful when it comes to improving the appearance of the cleavage area (and even the presence of skin tenting). Best wishes.

Answer: Can I get breast implants with congenital symmastia? Thank you for sharing your question and photographs. It is possible to have implants placed with congenital synmastia and often liposuction to the area of sternal fullness will help improve upon results. Be sure to see an ASPS specialist for the best selection of implants.

Answer: Congenital Symmastia and Implants Yes, it is possible to have a breast augmentation with congenital symmastia. The key is to make sure that the implant width is correct - based on where the breast shape should be, not where it is with the symmastia. That in combination with ultrasound assisted liposuction in the sternal area can make a nice difference. Sometimes a technique to help attach the skin down better can be done as well. The best thing to do is to have a few consultations with board certified plastic surgeons familiar with symmastia repair. Please see the below link for examples. I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast augmentation with symmastia? Hi and welcome to our forum!Augmentation mammoplasty can be carried out successfully in patients with symmastia. Internal suturing can address the symmastia at the same time as augmentation as long as the implant does not have excessive width. Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for in-person evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...
