<h2>Woman Lost Weight On Mounjaro But Her Breasts Didn't Stop Growing: What Happened To Her?</h2>

Moon said that the doctors had thought that she had macromastia, a less severe, however, a similar condition. "But when I broke down medical history, the weight loss on Mounjaro and the increased growth and side effects, he was point-blank like, 'This is gigantomastia'," she said. 

Moon also told that her breasts currently weight 39 lbs, which is approximately 20 per cent of her overall body weight. 

Moon also said that while her large breasts are "normal" at this point in her life, she said the rare condition still comes with challenges. 

"The side effects are having numb arms quite a lot and having quite severe indentations on my shoulders. I have some light scarring under my breasts where bras have rubbed and ripped the skin open."

She also said that laying on her back is something she cannot do for a long time, as it restricts the amount of airflow she can get in. She also said that when she goes out she tries to make her breasts look smaller than they are and strap them up. "I [still] get stares and double takes."

<h2>Woman Lost Weight On Mounjaro But Her Breasts Didn't Stop Growing: What Is Gigantomastia? </h2>

As per Cleveland Clinic, it is a rare condition where your breasts become excessively large. It can also cause pain, infection, discomfort and issues with body image. It is also known as breast hypertrophy where one experiences rapid and disproportionate breast growth. The speed with which the breasts grow could vary depending on the person. It could take a few weeks to over several years. The tissue is almost never benign. 

<h3>Gigantomastia is characterized by:</h3>

<ul><li>Breasts that have an excess of at least 5 pounds of breast tissue.</li><li>Extra breast tissue that equals more than 3% of your total body weight.</li></ul>

<h3>There are different types of gigastomastia:</h3>

<ul><li><strong>Juvenile gigantomastia</strong><strong>:</strong> This type happens during puberty.</li><li><strong>Gestational gigantomastia:</strong> This is when gigantomastia occurs during pregnancy.</li><li><strong>Drug-induced gigantomastia (or medication-induced): </strong>This happens after taking certain drugs.</li><li><strong>Idiopathic gigantomastia: </strong>This is when the cause of gigantomastia is unknown or can't be determined. Idiopathic gigantomastia is the most common type.</li></ul>

Moon is now considering a breast reduction surgery. She has for now set up an account on OnlyFans. “I might as well try and reap the benefits of my medical condition rather than the negatives," she said.
