Abstract
This 21-year-old patient with congenital synmastia wanted better cleavage. The discussion included liposuction over the sternum, use of compression garments, implant augmentation and transcutaneous suture technique to fix the subdermal tissues to the sternum. Reconstruction consisted of liposuction, breast augmentation and compression over the sternum. The synmastia recurred but not as severe as preoperatively.
