Do You Have Symmastia W/your Breast Implants? Posted: 07-13-04 10:48am
Hello - I saw the plastic surgery topic
and just wanted to share what I have been
dealing with for the past 4 years now.
Unfortunately, I am one of the rising many
that developled symmastia after I was
botched up with my breast aug. Surgery.
The condition is caused by the surgeon
cutting the sternum. Resulting in either
mild to severe symmastia. It looks like
one breast. The sternum area is raised
and you have no cleavage. Some
unexperienced Dr.'s do this in the event
in trying to create more cleavage in
thinner patients.. Big mistake!
Definition: symmastia describes the
phenomenon where the breast implants
cross the breast bone to touch each
other over the midline of the chest where
the cleavage area would normally be seen.
Attempts to "increase cleavage" by
releasing the soft tissues or inner
origins of the pectoralis muscles lead to
symmastia by surgically disrupting the
normal anatomical attachments of skin and
muscle at the medial aspects of the
breasts where the cleavage is
normally defined.
It can be repaired. Only through a
skilled surgeon that has done these
repairs before.
My condition is not that severe but this
experience has been a nightmare. I just
feel into the wrong hands. Sadly.
I will get this correction done one day..
I hope within this year. It is about $ 4
k or some Dr.'s charge even more for the
repair. So, I have been saving on and
off. With life's interuptions.. I needed
a new car last year so that delayed me. I
have gotton depressed over this in the
past but I am content now and realize I
will one day get fixed....
Thanks for letting me vent and share my
drama with you all...
If anyone else here has the same thing or
know someone that has this,
please email me... Thank you....
