Symmastia
Symmastia (pronounced sim-mas-tee-uh) is a medical condition where the breasts appear to be connected in the middle, creating a lack of definition between them. This condition can occur naturally or as a result of breast augmentation surgery.
Etymology
The term "Symmastia" is derived from the Greek words "syn" meaning "together" and "mastos" meaning "breast".
Causes
Symmastia can occur naturally due to the development of the breasts during puberty. It can also occur as a result of breast augmentation surgery, where the implants are placed too close together or are too large for the patient's body.
Symptoms
The main symptom of Symmastia is the appearance of the breasts being connected in the middle, with no clear separation between them. This can cause discomfort and self-consciousness in the individual.
Treatment
Treatment for Symmastia typically involves surgery to correct the positioning of the breasts or implants. This can include breast reduction surgery, breast implant revision surgery, or a combination of both.
