Symmastia Repair BA revision 450 CC to 485 CC

ORIGINAL POST

Symmastia Repair

DiaGen
first BA was in 9/2007 - was to correct my insecurities of my heart surgery scar I have . ASD repair when I was 5. Left a scar - that looked like a smilie face with my nipples (no boobs) and scar. Shortly after first BA - I noticed my implants could move and touch each other and I Had a hinder looking cleavage with skin that pulled away from my chest wall. This was about 2 months post op. I was told this was symmastia and I would need to have another surgery and could schedule in 6 months. not having the vacation, funds or real desire to endure the pain again post poned. I since got married, had 2 children and here i am. Finally in a position to get it corrected. I had 6 different consultations for who to pick to for the correction. I choose Dr Colque. His RN was super nice and the doctor was interested in what my thoughts were and what I wanted corrected. He was very good at listening and had a very calming demeanor. You could tell his wheels where turning and he really takes into account YOU as a person. I had my surgery on Thursday. I am almost 1 week out and am super happy with the outcome thus far. The pain has been minimal. I am wearing my surgical bra and my thong bra still with limited lifting and arm movements but am back to work. I went from 450 CC - to 485 CC with symmastia correction. I basically told him I was happy with my size but if the correction required bigger or smaller implants I would be fine with it. I just wanted to finally have normal cleavage and normal looking breast. super excited to see once the stitches are all gone and and i take off thong bra! I will upload before and after pictures shortly! Highly recommend!

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 ?
