Thaynara Marcondes, a student of pedagogy from Mandirituba who is 22 years old, is now recuperating from breast reduction surgery.

She has been fighting a disorder known as gigantomastia, which caused her breasts to expand to a weight of 10 kilos (22 pounds). Prior to her operation, she had a difficult time doing even the most basic of all jobs. It is time to hear her tale.

“Even if I tried, I couldn’t wear a bra anymore,” she asserts.

“In the end, I took all of my clothing and placed them in a bag since nothing else would fit. At one point, I tried on eight different shirts, but none of them were a good fit. I have completely lost it.”

Following the completion of her surgical procedure at the end of October, Thaynara is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to return to the gym and to once again wear a bikini. She goes on to say, “I want to run, be active, and do a lot of things that I couldn’t do before when I was younger.”

Out of adversity and into strength

The illness, which manifested itself for the first time in February, made it difficult for her to carry out her normal duties, including things like working out and even handling newborns at her job as a daycare assistant. She freely acknowledges, “I just couldn’t take it any longer.” “I’m not very tall, and my back was giving me a nightmare.”

She has been given a new lease on life as a result of the operation, which cost R$40,000. She is now documenting her rehabilitation story on social media in order to raise awareness about gigantomastia and the effect it has. Now that she is finally able to feel like herself again, she is thrilled, and she wants other women to know that they are not the only ones dealing with this difficulty.

What is meant by the term “gigantomastia”?

Gigantomastia, often referred to as breast hypertrophy or macromastia, is an extremely uncommon disorder in which the breasts develop an abnormally big size as a result of an unusually high amount of breast tissue being produced. The majority of persons who are affected by this ailment are those who were assigned to the feminine gender at birth. It may result in substantial discomfort, suffering, and even concerns with body image.

The story of Thaynara Marcondes is an excellent illustration of bravery and taking responsibility for one’s own health and wellbeing. She did not let the discomfort and difficulties that she experienced as a result of gigantomastia to prevent her from achieving her goals. She was determined to feel better and live a life that was more comfortable, and her decision to have breast reduction surgery demonstrated this commitment.
