Symmastia Repair with Moderate Plus Profile breast implants
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009| This 45 year old patient from North Hollywood, California found Dr. Pousti and came in several times to discuss symmastia repair. She was extremely unhappy with her first breast augmentation surgery which resulted in symmastia. Symmastia - commonly referred to as “breadloafing” or “uni-boob”, occurs when two implants touch one another in the center of the chest. If the horizontal muscle that is connected to the sternum and goes across the implant is cut during surgery, then the implant can move toward the middle of the chest. She had lost confidence in the surgeon who performed the first surgery and felt very comfortable with Dr. Pousti’s experience in revisionary breast surgery.
In the operating room, Dr. Pousti takes his time to achieve the best results he can for the patient. For correction of symmastia, the procedure can take from 2-3 hours depending on how much work is involved. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Pousti takes his time in the operating room to make sure that he does what he can to achieve the patient’s results. The repair of symmastia requires additional surgery to move the implant back into the pocket of original placement.
You can see that before her correction surgery, she did not have separation between the two breasts. After the correction, a nice separation was created.
A special bra is used to stabilize the area after surgery.
This patient is only 4 months post-op breast augmentation surgery and symmastia correction extremely happy with her results.
Testimonial: I had Symmastia from my previous Breast Augmentation. I’m living in CA. I researched near by Surgeons and finally found one. Dr.Pousti corrected my Symmastia.My Breasts are finally separated.I feel relieved and great! It’s been 5 months since Dr.Pousti performed the corrective surgery and my Breasts are still separated as expected! I think Dr.Pousti did a great job correcting my Symmastia. I’m thankful to Dr.Pousti for his help,patience and skill. I recommend Dr.Pousti!!! (^-^) |
