Abstract
UNLABELLED: Congenital symmastia is described as a connection between the breasts without macromastia. In this condition, there is accumulation of fat and glandular tissue between the breasts, which produces a unified appearance of the breast tissue across the chest. We report a case of congenital symmastia in a 21-year-old woman with normal-sized and -shaped breasts. We achieved satisfying aesthetic results using suction-assisted lipectomy and the patient's complaint was resolved without scar or major surgery.
