Without thongbra

DiaGen
Skin did not adhere to chest wall. I added my comment below. After being allowed to not wear the thongbra at 12 weeks post OP..it was evident the skin was not attached. I still have some separation when standing and wearing no support but with anything that pushes to provides support they touch and skin pulls away from chest wall.

Hi Dia - I’m so sorry to hear this. I know you are disappointed. As I mentioned below, I have the same issue that you do and am in need of a revision also. I was told that one of the hardest issues to fix is lifted skin. Sometimes it reattaches, and sometimes it doesn’t. I am happy to hear that you at least do have space between your boobs when standings, etc. That is a small victory! Stay positive! As much as I hate my cleavage, I am happy that at least I have boobs that look good in clothes! Keep us posted! XO!!

Once I stopped wearing the thongbra, and started wearing an normal bra it was evident the skin in between my breast was not attached. standing with no bra I have some separation but with a bra or swimsuit or anything that holds the breast the skin in the middle pulls away and I have sysmastia again :(

Pretty bummed.

Hi there, I had severe Symmastia and I had a repair done 4 months ago.. I am still wearing the thong bra, I am super happy with my results... I’ve worn bikinis and they seem to stay seperated, bending forward without thong bra doesn’t feel right & the cleavage line comes together but once I stand upright they go back to be seperate. Looking at your photos below you after photo looks amazing and they look defined... your comment above says that after you stopped wearing the thong bra the skin pulled back up... during the 4 months you were wearing the thong bra, when you took it off was it fine and seemed to be fixed? did you ever wear A bikini for a day and they seem to stay like they were fixed? How long after you stopped wearing the thong bra did the skin pull back up? Do you think if you had of worn it for 6-12 months it wouldn’t have pulled up? Sorry for a million questions.... I’m paranoid of this happening which is why I’m still wearing my thong bra 24-7 unless I have a beach day which isn’t that often... I just spent $35K to fix it and I can’t afford to do it again! Appreciate your feedback.

Curious if yours are still good. I think without pushing up on the breast there is separation but any type of push up there is no separation. I loved the look at 8 weeks where I had a defined space between that is no longer there. But naked standing up there is separation.

Beautiful work by your surgeon! You have clear, defined space between your boobs again! You must be thrilled! I need a revision for the same and I’m hoping to be able to afford it soon!

Wow ! You are so lucky! I had 6 surgeries to fix my symastia and none were successful. I have lost hope. What is your surgeon name please ?

DR. ALEX COLQUE, WI - it doesn't look as good as it did back at 8 weeks..but when they are not being pushed up, there is still seperation! Good luck.

That is not far from where I live at all. What type of technique did he do? I am going through symmastia right now.
