I Have Macromastia

I am honestly confused about what the word “macromastia” means as a medical term. But for most people I think it just means very large and growing breasts. If that’s the common meaning, then I have macromastia in the common sense. Anyway, I’m new here and I hope everyone else that is a member of this group is safe and well.

You are correct! Macromastia tends to refer to lighter weight breasts than gigantomastia. Macromastia is when breasts weigh less than 2.5 kg, and gigantomastia is when they weigh more than 2.5 kg (about 5.5 lbs).

If your breasts weigh 3% or more of your total body weight you have breast hypertrophy. (Medically speaking)

Their are often two words people use. Macromastia and gigantomastia.
You have macromastia if your breasts weigh less than 2.5kg (5.5lbs)
And you have gigantomastia if their bigger than that.

Though most People say you don't have any unless your breasts still continue to grow.

I think you've got it nailed, they usually say excessively large, I think it turns into gigantomastia if things keep on growing. (I know there's some others here with similar affliction, they may have better words than I) And welcome!
