A Scottish woman has opened up about being denied breast reduction surgery after doctors allegedly said she was "too fat". Summer Robert, 28, has told people how it all happenedA woman claims she has been told she is "too fat" to undergo surgery that could potentially transform her life.
Summer Robert, 28, has previously stated she has the "biggest boobs in the UK", a condition that brings with it a host of significant consequences. Summer's breasts currently measure a 30R and weigh approximately 25kg , which is roughly the equivalent weight of a small child. For around 10 years, she alleges she pleaded with doctors for a reduction, only to be met with a firm "no".
It appears her breasts are so heavy that her remains technically elevated, leading doctors to dismiss her as "too fat" for the procedure, despite her petite frame. It has now reached the stage where she no longer desires the surgery. She explained: "I no longer want it as I have come to terms with how beautiful my body is. I was also told even if I get it they will just come back.
" Summer suffers from a condition called Macromastia, which is the medical term for having abnormally large breasts, and it can lead to various complications like chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, bra strap grooving and difficulty carrying out daily activities. While it's a condition that brings its fair share of struggles, she has learned to cope with the challenges it presents. It was nonetheless a blow to discover that nothing could be done about it.
"The doctors told me that my BMI was too high because my boobs weigh too much," she added. "I felt deflated, but I'm glad in the long-run. "The doctors can't guarantee that they won't stop growing, but they also can't say if they will. It's a grey area.
" She now believes her best course of action is to embrace herself for who she is and simply accept her body.scare involving a non-cancerous lump in her breast, specialists eventually recommended a reduction. But, just as she was preparing for the surgery she had longed for since childhood, the Covid-19 pandemic struck, bringing all non-emergency procedures to a standstill.
"Actually, I'm really happy that Covid happened," Summer admitted. "It sounds crazy because of all the people that died, but it meant that I didn't get a reduction, and then I wouldn't be where I am now. I wouldn't be successful.
"During the lockdown period, Summer began producing saucy content online, and this proved to be a turning point for her. For the first time, she discovered a community that didn't regard her body as a strange medical oddity, but rather as something to be celebrated. The change in outlook was dramatic and swift. Summer added: "My whole life, people have told me that my body's weird because my boobs are so big.
"No one's ever been nice about it. They've always just been like, 'yeah, it's weird that she has massive boobs and she's so young.
' Then everyone celebrated the fact that I have a different body. "Realising that my body is actually beautiful instead of weird, like everyone else said, it changed everything. "
