A certain Kerisha Mark from Texas was known for having a sharp pain surging across her chest, an ache creeping up her neck, causing a debilitating migraine.
Initially she feared they were the symptoms of a heart attack or brain tumor, not until doctors told her she had Gigantomastia.
Gigantomastia is diagnosed when chest weight exceeds three per cent of a person’s body weight.
Ms Kerisha had always had an exceptionally large chest, but by her late 30s, her bust had grown to a staggering 36NNN.
The rapid growth was the result of the hormonal condition which resulted in pulled chest muscles, severe back pain and emotional distress, the Washington Post reported.
She said:
‘I could not run or jump or work out at all. I was very limited in a lot of things I could do. My first time at a boot camp, I did a jumping jack and my bra snapped. I started to have really bad headaches. Women and men want to touch my br**sts to see if they are real. It’s real intimidating.’
operating theatre. Dr Franklin Rose, a plastic surgeon based in Houston, performed the operation. He told The Post he could not remember seeing a patient with larger br**sts in his 35-year career.
He said:
‘The br**sts really hung down to her hips and were essentially like carrying around three basketballs at all times because they were so large. When we went into the exam room – I don’t know if I would use this word ‘shocking’, but it was certainly startling to see br**sts of that magnitude.’
Dr Rose eventually recruited a colleague to help with the four-hour
operation, where he removed 15lbs of chest tissue from Ms Mark and
instead left her with a ‘nice full’ DD cup bust.
He had also said if her condition had been left untreated it could
have developed into degenerative kyphosis, a condition causing a
person’s spine to curve forward, forming a hump or hunchback.
