Boob job dangers – Symmastia

Symmastia is a potential danger of bad boob job where the implants end up meeting in the middle getting rid of the cleavage – in extreme cases the implants actually touch in the middle of the chest, giving the appearance of one breast, instead of two.

Symmastia is also called “uniboob” (describing what happens), “breadloafing”, or “kissing implants”. It may be more common in thin women, because thin women usually have less tissue and/or fat covering the sternum to enclose and separate the implants. This danger is another reason you need to use qualified plastic surgeon (board certified by the ABPS – American Board of Plastic Surgeons).

Symmastia may or may not be noticeable immediately after the breast augmentation surgery. It may show itself at anytime after surgery from a few days to several months later. It can especially be seen after a weight change or after the breast implants have shifted.

The repair of symmastia needs additional surgery to move the implant back into the pocket of original placement.

• An incision is made (usually along the breast crease) to expose the underlying tissue, muscle, and implant.
• The tissue that encapsulates the implant is cut and rolled back to fit into the pocket.
• Tissue is sutured together to hold implant in place.
• The muscle is then sutured internally (using permanent sutures) back in place, connecting the sternum.
• The incision is then sutured close.

Again the best bet is to make sure you don’t suffer from this boob job danger (Symmastia) by going to the right plastic surgeon. Do your research – talk to previous patients – look at real before and after photos (no photoshop) and do not try to get a boob job on the cheap.
