Abstract
Introduction: Gestational gigantomastia is the increase in breast tissue during pregnancy greater than 1500 ml of volume in each breast. It is known that it can have harmful effects on both the fetus and the mother. The surgical treatment of choice is reduction mastoplasty. Method: We describe a patient with a history of gestational gigantomastia who underwent reduction mastoplasty using the Thorek technique. Result: A 23-year-old patient is presented with a diagnosis of gestational gigantomastia who underwent a reduction mastoplasty. 1200 g of breast tissue were resected from the left breast and 1300 g from the right breast. The postoperative evolution of her was favorable with good aesthetic and emotional results. Conclusions: Reduction mastoplasty using the Thorek technique is the surgical technique of choice for gestational breast hypertrophy because it allows a great reduction in breast volume with good aesthetic results and patient satisfaction.
