You don’t have to settle for results that don’t feel like you. ✨ She came to see us after a breast augmentation with another surgeon left her feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious. Her implants were almost touching in the middle—a complication called symmastia, where the natural space between the breasts disappears, creating what some call “uni-boob.”
🎯All she wanted was a natural look, a normal distance between her breasts, and to feel like herself again.
During her surgery, Dr. Burns:
✅ Repaired the breast implant pocket along the middle of her chest, re-creating natural breast anatomy where the breast tissue ends at the edges of the breastbone.
✅ Used an internal mesh bra called Galaflex to support the repair and prevent recurrence of symmastia.
✅ Exchanged her old saline implants for the latest generation silicone gel gummy bear implants, which feel softer and more natural while maintaining shape.
👏🏽 Now she's got a soft, natural appearance with a comfortable, confident distance between her breasts. She no longer feels the need to hide under loose tops, and the fear of people noticing the unnatural closeness of her implants is gone.
❓What is Symmastia?
Symmastia happens when breast implants sit too close together across the sternum, often due to pocket over-dissection, thin tissue, or implant size issues. It can make bras uncomfortable, create rippling, and look unnatural. Repairing it involves meticulous internal pocket work and long-term support.
❓Why Silicone Over Saline?
Modern gummy bear silicone implants feel and move like natural breast tissue, reduce visible rippling, and maintain shape even if ruptured, offering a softer, more natural feel.
If you’re dealing with complications from a previous breast augmentation—whether symmastia, rippling, discomfort, capsular contracture, or dissatisfaction with size or shape—you deserve honest answers and options that align with your goals.
