"There are too big differences between the opinion of cosmetic surgeons and the actual medical point of view" I'm not even sure what the first part of this sentence is supposed to mean. Perhaps someone could clear it up? Stuart McN 12:19, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
>>> The 2nd part of this sentence says what it mean. There are two ways of view about this condition: the real medical view and the view which plastic surgeons wants to tell us in TV and press, for getting more patients. It means that the medical view for "too large" begins with much bigger sizes than the aesthetical view for "too large". Please write it in a better english, so it will be more clearer what it is supposed to mean. Marbola 16:52, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
I removed these remarks as they represent POV and don't address the subject of this article. Tell someone ( talk) 18:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Damn, I found that pic today at work and now wanted to go back to study it further.. and you removed it ! I think she was older than 15 by the way .... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.215.69.198 ( talk) 21:38, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
The image was removed because it was sexually attractive. It makes no difference if the girl pictured was affected by the disorder. If the image plays grossly into sexual attractiveness people view it as pornographic and remove it immediately. In order for it to be viewed as medical it has to display unpleasant deformity (deformity can never be pleasant!).

I think the current image does not show the severity and the possible side conditions of this disease. Does somebody have a picture with public rights like the following? There should be a picture like http://www2.ulg.ac.be/gynecobs/g9200.gif or http://img.springerimages.com/Images/Springer/PUB=Springer-Verlag-New_York/JOU=00266/VOL=2009.33/ISU=3/ART=2009_9316/MediaObjects/WATER_266_2009_9316_Fig2_HTML.jpg -- Rainbow5489208 ( talk) 20:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
There is not enough information to support two articles on a very closely related subject, Gigantomastia and Virginal breast hypertrophy, which are about the same disorder at different periods in a female's life. I recommend merging the two here. -- btphelps ( talk) ( contribs)
I agree with Phelps. Gigantomastia and virginal breast hypertrophy are two faces of the same phenomenon: macromastia. When it occurs in adult, non-pregnant women, in the medical literature it is generally called macromastia. When it occurs, as it usually does, in pubertal or prepubertal girls, it is called virginal breast hypertrophy or simply virginal hypertrophy. When it occurs, as it also does but less often, in adult pregnant women, we call it gigantomastia. This is simply a conveniency, an agreement on classification. Macromastia, the oversized growth of breasts, also occurs in men, be it very rare. This phenomenon is called gynecomastia. Hansung02 ( talk) 18:06, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Why there is no mention of women that take advantage of their large breasts, like "adult" dancers, sex-industry professionals, that one that breaks watermelons with her breasts etc, and of course those with less extreme cases of the condition showing off their assets under regular social situations for their benefit (getting in front of the line, getting hired for non-sex related jobs, attracting welcome attention etc) ? -- TiagoTiago ( talk) 01:35, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
"The largest recorded weight was 67 pounds (30 kg) per breast. citation needed"
There are many internet sites copying/pasting this claim. I removed it, as I could not find any evidence in a reliable source. Please add a citation if there is one. -- Rainbow5489208 ( talk) 10:07, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
