Makromasti is the term used to describe an increase in breast volume exceeding 50% of the ideal breast volume, which is typically around 300-350 cm3.
In individuals with macromastia, common complaints include:
Macromastia is not just an aesthetic issue; it is a health problem. Patients with macromastia should be seen by various doctors and undergo numerous tests due to their complaints. Therefore, macromastia is a health problem. Consequently, the complaints of these patients lead to a significant loss of productivity, financial expenses, and the use of healthcare resources. An increase in the number of benign breast diseases is observed in macromastic patients.
There is also an increased risk of breast cancer compared to other patients. Treating macromastia as a disease is appropriate.
Most macromastia patients have accepted these clinical problems, and the effectiveness of imaging methods is reduced in these patients. Macromastia hinders the early diagnosis of cancer. Reduction surgeries performed for macromastia are also said to reduce the risk of cancer.
