Synmastia is a complication of breast augmentation which is not well known. It is a condition where the implants touch each other above the breast bone. In the article the authors describe not only the mechanism of its origination but also the opportunities for correction and the prospects of prevention. They illustrate formation of synmastia in a young woman with emphasis on probable causes and methods of its effective correction in their own case study.
