Do I have gigantomastia? (photos)

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Based on your photographs, you are a good candidate for breast reduction surgery and a moderate D cup would be achievable for you. Getting fit and as close to your desired weight as possible prior to surgery will improve your post-op results. A diagnosis of gigantomastia is made on the basis of a history of rapid growth of the breasts out of proportion to your frame, so it is difficult to be certain about this based on your photographs alone. Whether or not you have a diagnosis of gigantomastia, it is likely that breast reduction will provide significant benefits for you. I would advise you to seek a consultation with a reputable plastic surgeon with a practice focussing on plastic surgery of the breast.

Dear cookieharibo,

Thank you for your question and photos. It is difficult to tell for sure without an in-person consultation, but from looking at your photos and considering the information you provided, you may be a good candidate for a breast reduction surgery. This may help to reduce the size and weight of the breasts, while reducing the size and positioning of the nipples to a more youthful state. You may potentially lose half of your current breast size or more. It is difficult to promise a cup size that you may be left with after surgery, since different stores or brands may measure you as varying cup sizes. Gigantomastia usually refers to excessive breast growth. In your case, you may potentially consider a breast reduction surgery to reduce the size and weight of the breasts to a more proportionate size with your body habitus. Since you mention that you may be planning to lose weight, you may want to consider surgery once you have reached your goal weight and are stable at that weight for a few months, since you may potentially also lose volume in the breasts, as well. I suggest that at this current time, you schedule an in-person or virtual consultation with a board certified Plastic Surgeon, so that you may go over your specific goals, and to develop, together, a plan to best achieve them. Best of luck and stay safe!
