In the previous post, I talked about mammary hypertrophy and the psychological and physical problems caused by it.

Did you know that besides the aspect that bothers patients, the exaggerated enlargement of the breasts can cause functional changes, with the osteoarticular system of the vertebral column being the most affected?

That's right. Unfortunately, mammary hypertrophy can cause pain and physical discomfort in the shoulders and spine, as well as lead to poor posture. These changes can be irreversible if not treated in time, as they can modify the anatomy of the vertebral column, leading to herniated discs and spinal deviations.

In cases of more severe hypertrophy – known as gigantomastia – respiratory changes can even occur, in addition to limitations for routine daily activities or limitations for physical exercise, making weight loss difficult.

That is why surgery for the correction of female mammary hypertrophy is not just a matter of vanity. The treatment goes much further, as we correct a problem that can lead to both serious functional diseases and depression.
