1.1.   Gigantomastia

Gigantomastia or breast hypertrophy is a rare condition that involves developing extremely large breasts due to excessive breast tissue growth. It affects people assigned female at birth. If you have gigantomastia, you’ll experience rapid and disproportionate breast growth. The speed at which your breasts grow can vary, from over a few weeks to over several years. The tissue is almost always benign (not cancerous). Having extremely large breasts can be both physically and emotionally painful. Some of the most common symptoms of breast hypertrophy are:

·         Infection or lesions on the skin of your breasts, especially under your breasts.

·         Neck and back pain caused by your breasts pulling you down.

·         Poor posture.

·         Loss of feeling in the nipples.

·         Breast pain (mastalgia).

 

·         Painful and itchy indentations on your skin from the straps of your bra.

1.1.   Axillary breast

The axillary breast, also known as the supernumerary or accessory breast is the growth of glandular tissues in the armpit region.

Axillary breast tissue is more than an extra pad of fat. It is actual glandular breast tissue. This is particularly common in your armpits, which is also known as the axilla. Medical studies have shown that this kind of axillary breast tissue can occur in anywhere from 2% to 6% of women.

 

The condition can be caused by genetics or weight gain. Technically speaking, axillary breast tissue is composed of glandular tissue. It is susceptible to the hormonal changes brought on by pregnancy and milk production as well as any other changes that can affect normal breast tissue.

1.1.   Anisomastia (Asymetric breast)

Anisomastia is a medical condition in which there is severe asymmetry or unequalness in the size of the breasts, generally related to a difference in volume. In other words, when one of the breasts is much larger than the other. In contrast to anisomastia, a slight asymmetry of the breasts is common.

 

Breast asymmetry is very common and affects more than half of all women. There are several reasons why a woman’s breasts can change in size or volume, including trauma, puberty, and hormonal changes. Your breast tissue can change when you’re ovulating and can often feel fuller and more sensitive.

1.1.   Tuberouse breast

Tuberous breasts, also known as tubular breasts, have a tube shape instead of a round shape. The space between the breast is usually larger with a bigger areola. The congenital breast shape disorder stops tissue development in puberty. This results in drooping, small, and uneven breasts. Tuberous breasts go by a fair few name, including constricted breasts and tuberous breast deformity. It’s not a common condition, and the extent of the deformity can range significantly from mild to severe. Patients with tuberous breasts can have different experiences from one another. In general, symptoms of tuberous breasts include:

·         Cylindrical breast tissue

·         Saggy appearance due to a higher lower breast fold

·         A lot of space between the breasts

·         Asymmetrical breasts

·         Larger than the normal areola

·         Only one breast may be affected

·         Little fullness

 

·         Protruding nipples

1.1.   Breast lumps

 

A breast lump is a mass that develops in your breast. While a breast lump can be a sign of breast cancer, often it is not related to cancer. Eight out of 10 breast lumps are noncancerous. A breast lump may feel like a frozen pea or lima bean. It might feel hard or different from the rest of your breast tissue. Breast lumps are one of the symptoms of breast cancer. However, often, breast lumps are not cancerous. Several other conditions can cause breast lumps. Causes of breast lumps include:

·         Changes in the breast tissue (fibrocystic changes): Tiny, fluid-filled sacs and fibrous (rubbery) tissue feel like lumps.

·         Breast cysts: Fluid-filled sacs form when fluid becomes trapped in the milk ducts. Cysts are common in premenopausal women.

·         Fibroadenomas: This benign (noncancerous) lump is the most common breast tumor in young women (20s and 30s). Fibroadenomas are most common during a person’s reproductive years.

·         Breast infection: An infection in the breast tissue can cause a lump.

 

·         Breast cancer: A tumor growing in the breast tissue causes a lump.

1.1.   Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is surgery to recreate breasts after mastectomy or lumpectomy. Sometimes reconstruction takes several surgeries. There are many breast reconstruction techniques. Some use silicone or saline breast implants. Other techniques use a flap of tissue from your body (such as tissue from the lower belly). Breast reconstruction can happen right after breast cancer surgery (immediate reconstruction). Or it can happen months or years later (delayed reconstruction). You may have surgery to reconstruct both breasts. Or your provider may replace one breast and reshape it to match the other. Your provider may recommend multiple surgeries over several stages. Some people choose to have breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, but many don’t. The decision to have breast reconstruction is very personal.
