Panicking! (symmastia)

Had my boobs done on the 11th of July, my recovery was fine just had the normal ‘boob behaviour’ my 6 week check up is next week on Friday but now I’m starting to panic slight because I think I have symmastia… For those of you who may not know what it is it’s basically where your boobs get too close together and the gap in between your boobs disappear. The gap was fine weeks 1-4 but now I’m on week 5 it seems like its getting closer and closer to me… soon they’ll be touching?
I’m going to wait until next week to see my nurse and see what she thinks, all my photo’s on my profile are 4 weeks and under so i’ll upload one of how they look now and my gap.
Has anyone else experienced this? x

Hi Anna. Very interested in this as i have a constant discomfort between breasts and the skin there is high and feels stretched. I wondered if this was normal or not. Do you have any pain or discomfort? xx

I have a little discomfort but I wasn’t sure if that was because I’m under 6 weeks and have some more healing to go? I feel like if I push down in between my breasts it’s not completely flat on my chest wall either, it’s sort of raised? Are you having the same issue too? xx

yeah sounds exactly the same and i thought the same (about healing im 4 weeks PO on tuesday). If i run my finger up the middle of my chest starting below the breasts and finishing above the breasts my finger definitely raises up directly in between the breasts. And thats where the discomfort is. But it dosent hurt if i push down or touch it. xx

yes exactly! I’m happy with my boobs the size is perfect for my body and ive got great cleavage but I’ve been googling symmastia and I’m scared if I don’t do/say anything about it now and get them looked at in a couple of months i’ll be hiding my boobs away. I’ll see what my nurse says next week about them xx

i googled it after you posted on here and im panicking too. just done an 8 hour shift and it feels really tight between my breasts now and if i move my right arm i can feel the left breast pull and vise versa which i never noticed before 🙁
