Get Educated About Breadloafing:

Reader warning: This post does not contain a recipe for some new baking technique or a way of passing time.

Moving on, breadloafing is a colloquial term for a rare breast augmentation surgery complication called synmastia. The condition causes the breast implants to shift to the center of the chest giving the appearance of a singular mass of breast tissue without a definite cleavage.

For breast surgery patients who have had special work done for enhancing their cleavage, this complication will be rather disappointing. Incidentally, synmastia problems surface among this group of breast enhancement patients more as the breast implants are pushed close to each other to result in a narrower cleavage.

Synmastia or symmastia complications are known to be visible within four months of having a breast augmentation surgery. Some cases however, are known to occur much later as well.

Correction of this problem is a complex procedure and can involve either of two procedures. One is external suturing which is the less preferred method as it leaves visible scars and is temporary. The other procedure to correct the uniboob or symmastia problem is an implant revision surgery which reinserts the breast implants after strengthening the sutures from the inside.

At the Plastic Surgery Institute of California, care is taken to minimize the risk of complications like synmastia by discussing with the patient the breast size that is right for them. Factors like available breast tissue and muscle too are studied during consultation.
