Thaynara Marcondes, a 22-year-old pedagogy student from Mandirituba, is on the road to recovery after undergoing breast reduction surgery to address a condition known as gigantomastia.
This rare disorder caused her breasts to grow to an astonishing weight of 10 kilograms (22 pounds), making even everyday activities a challenging struggle.
In this article, we’ll dive into Thaynara’s emotional and physical journey, shedding light on the difficulties she faced and the steps she took toward reclaiming her life.
Now, after her surgery at the end of October, Thaynara is looking forward to getting back to the gym and wearing a bikini again. “I want to run, be active, and do a ton of things that I couldn’t do before,” she adds.
The disease, which first showed up in February, made daily activities a struggle—things like working out and even holding babies at her job as a daycare assistant. “I couldn’t take it anymore,” she admits. “I’m skinny, and my back was killing me.” Her breasts weighed 10 kg.
