Gigantomastia

Gigantomastia is the excessive growth of breast tissue, resulting in disproportionately large and heavy breasts. It can cause physical discomfort and affect daily life.

Common manifestations: Back, neck, and shoulder pain, marks from the bra, skin irritation under the breasts, and an impact on mobility and emotional well-being.

When to seek care?: When the breast size causes persistent pain, difficulty carrying out activities, or emotional distress, an evaluation is worthwhile.

Which specialist treats it?: The plastic surgeon and the general surgeon usually evaluate the surgical options; the endocrinologist and the gynecologist investigate possible hormonal factors, and the physical therapist or the psychologist provide support depending on the needs. If this condition affects your daily life, discussing it with one of these professionals will allow you to explore alternatives.
