Scottish Woman With Rare Breast Condition Says Doctors Dismissed Her For Over A Decade

Summer Robert, 28, was diagnosed with macromastia at age 25. She stands 4 feet 11 inches tall and currently wears an R-cup bra. In the past year alone, she grew 11 bra sizes, a pattern her doctors say is driven by hormonal shifts.

“Basically, I go through growth spurts,” Robert said, adding that the rapid changes are triggered by hormones.
