SYMMASTIA

TYPES

There are two types of symmastias. The first is what we call congenital, which means you’re brought into the world with it already. This type of condition is very rare.

The second one is iatrogenic or is also known as acquired symmastia. This kind of symmastia is the result of complications due to breast surgery, but at the same time, it’s very uncommon.

SYMPTOMS

Symptoms are mainly superficial and are cosmetic. But on the other hand, acquired symmastia can sometimes cause pain and discomfort in the breasts.

DIAGNOSIS

Symmastia is usually diagnosed by the patient itself or by a plastic surgeon. An expert plastic surgeon can be able to diagnose most cases of symmastia through photos alone.

TREATMENT

The only potential way of treatment for either form of symmastia is surgery.

Surgery will probably include expelling scar tissue, fixing the pocket, and repositioning or replacing the implants. The permanent internal sutures will help hold the breast and implant it in the best possible position.

Surgery complications may include an adverse response to anesthesia, bleeding, and infection in the surgical site. This specific surgery can likewise prompt:

• Asymmetrical bosoms
• Irregularities information
• Scarring

Possible complications of symmastia

The first thing you should consider is whether corrective surgery is necessary in your case. That’s why you should start with an overall medical evaluation. If surgery isn’t necessary, it may be a question in terms of appearance.

First, you need to consult your surgeon to learn more about why it is happening. Next:

• Ask for a second opinion
• Discusswith surgeons who have already performed this type of corrective surgery before
• You need to confirm why they recommend a particular strategy and what their success rate is
• Askabout what you can expect during the recovery stage and what the potential risks are

Just in case the appearance of your breasts have troubled you a lot, it’s important to evaluate your options. Symmastia can be treated successfully but you need to come up with the right decision.
