Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: After my breast augmentation I now have a uniboob! What is this deformity called and does Dr. Corbin know how to fix it?
Answer: The uniboob breast deformity is known as symastia. The medial skin on the midline of the breasts is not attached or scarred down to the chest wall. This condition can be congenital or can be a surgery complication. Obviously, in your case symastia is a result of a breast augmentation complication. Surgical causes of symastia can happen when very large implants pull the skin away from the chest bone. I have fixed some of the most challenging and difficult cases of symastia. It is a very hard deformity to correct and depending on the severity it may require more than one corrective surgery.
