From B to GGG! Holy shit! That’s fucking insane. I thought we were talking about some general swelling sort of on the order of what happens with pregnant women. And it happened within a 6 month period? I can’t even begin to comprehend what that must have been like. She would have had to have woken up every morning with a noticable increase in size. I’ll bet it started out as a “wow, this is a nice little perk” and very rapidly escalated to “WTF!”. I also really like that the all fixed picture is waaayy bigger than the original B size.

It does appear that further reductions are on the table.
At 5 months postoperation, breast asymmetry and areolar hypopigmentation were noted. There has been no recurrence of breast growth, and further breast reduction is being considered to correct asymmetry and return to her normal breast size.

She definitely said “yeah, you can stop there”

Holy shit that is terrifying. I’m glad the woman got the breast reduction (and somehow ended up with bigger honkers at a healthy size lol, from B to GGG back to D)
I’ve never seen any one studying sudden breast growth now that I read this… Hope this doesn’t get me into some weird rabbit holes

Yes, funny big boobs image, but reading the report she needed blood transfusions at two different times post surgery.
This isn’t a “how do we recreate this” occurrence, this is a “how rare is this and how do we make sure we can test for this reaction so someone doesn’t go through this again.”
If this has happened to any other tissue in the body, I would be concerned about the lethality of this specific reaction.

Yes, yes, but we live in this timeline so the research that will be done into the mediating factors will 100% become a “breast enlargement therapy” in health spas should it even remotely be found to be repeatable, controllable and safe be damned.

You are right of course.
I guess most replies were just for the title and never bothered to read the actual document.
