Frauen, die von Natur aus mit sehr großen Brüsten gesegnet sind, kennen die damit einhergehenden Probleme nur allzu gut. Das zu hohe Gewicht ihrer Brüste bereitet ihnen oft über Jahre hinweg Schwierigkeiten und Beschwerden. Dieser Umstand wird als Makromastie oder auch Gigantomastie bezeichnet, wenn die Brustgröße bestimmte Normen überschreitet. Um festzustellen, ob eine Frau an Makromastie leidet, wird in Lehrbüchern oft das Gewicht der Brüste herangezogen. Wenn das Brustgewicht pro Seite über 600 Gramm liegt, spricht man von Makromastie. Ab einem Gewicht von über 1500 Gramm pro Seite wird die Bezeichnung Gigantomastie verwendet. Die Auswirkungen von Makromastie und Gigantomastie können …

women who are naturally blessed with very large breasts know the associated problems all too well. The too high weight of your breasts often causes difficulties and symptoms over the years. This is called macromatia or gigantomatia when the breast size exceeds certain standards.

To determine whether a woman suffers from macromatia, the weight of the breasts is often used in textbooks. If the breast weight is over 600 grams per side, one speaks of macromatia. From a weight of over 1500 grams per side, the name gigantomatia is used.

The effects of macromatia and gigantomatia can be very stressful for affected women. The high weight of the breasts often leads to back, shoulder and neck pain due to the severe stress on the movement apparatus. Skin irritation and exposure between the breasts can also occur, since the skin is heavily used in this area.

In addition to the physical complaints, many women also suffer from psychological stress due to their great breasts. Your appearance is often commented on in public or you feel uncomfortable in your clothes because you have difficulty finding suitable bras or tops that offer you sufficient hold.

In such cases, breast reduction (also known as reduction plastic) can be considered. With this surgical intervention, the excess breast tissue is removed in order to achieve a more proportional breast size and shape. By reducing breast weight, the physical complaints are usually alleviated and the self -confidence of the women concerned is strengthened.

However, breast reduction is a surgical intervention associated with risks. In addition to the usual risks that can occur with each operation (such as infections or bleeding), there is the possibility of scar formation or temporary numbness in the nipples. It is important to carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages of such an operation and get advice from a qualified specialist.

In any case, a decision for a breast reduction should always be made individually. Women who suffer from the physical and psychological complaints of their big breasts should inform themselves well and possibly obtain medical advice to find the best solution for them.
