Yes, this can happen, and I recommend consulting with a plastic surgeon once breast maturity is reached. Liposuction often yields positive results for this condition. I hope this information is helpful.

Thank you for your question and the photo. Yes, it is possible to have congenital symmastia without previous surgery. I hope this information helps.

Congenital symmastia is a condition where breast tissue appears to be too close to the midline of the chest. Correction without breast implants can be challenging, and liposuction may be effective to some degree depending on the patient's anatomy. Surgical intervention and scarring along the pre-sternal area should be avoided if possible.
