Macromastia

Macromastia : The condition of having abnormally enlarged breasts; Excessive development of the mammary glands; Extreme growth of the breasts – extreme defined as “A weight of ten pounds or more per breast”; Breasts disproportionately large for the rest of the body; or just plain huge breasts. It’s also defined as the size at which 50% of the average female population would become uncomfortable due to the weight of their breasts. Within the United States , approximately 200,000 women fit this description. The only “cure” is surgery, and some women don’t have any other option; Health problems caused by macromastia make surgery a necessity. Others, whose breasts are healthy, choose surgery because exceptionally large breasts are heavy, awkward, and frequently uncomfortable. Some of us, however, choose to live with our “condition”, each for her own reasons.

I’m not a celebrity; I don’t have a myspace page, and I’m not on facebook. I don’t show off my breasts, or do anything to draw attention to them; I wish people would ignore them. I don’t own an off-the-shelf bra, I have them made for me, but if I could go to the store and buy one, by measurement, it would be a 32T
