New Delhi, Apr 27: Her vital part were as if a curse for her. What it seems after the 5 hr. long operation and a rarest of its kind. A 60-year-old woman from the United Arab Emirates, was successfully operated upon her huge breasts at New Delhi, who was facing severe neck pain and difficulty in walking too.
The surgery took off 1.3 kg tissues from the left breast and 1.4 kg tissues from the right breast (total 2.7 kg), doctors said.
She was discharged from the hospital three days after the surgery. The stitches were removed after 12-14 days.
The woman had met Rajiv B. Ahuja, senior consultant, Department of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery, Sir Gangaram Hospital, two months ago.
Ahuja said, “Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterised by excessive breast growth. Our challenge was not only the reduction of the breast size but also successfully beautifying them”.
This sort of disease occurs due to hypersensitivity to hormones and many times the breasts don’t come to their natural shape after pregnancy, he said.
According to doctors, in most of the cases, surgery is performed by removing a part of breast, which although reduces the size, it does not beautify them.
