Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Model reveals how breast reduction operation has facilitated chronic health status

Sports illustrated Model Gigi Robinson has detailed detailed how her surgery has helped her chronic health status for breast reduction.

Gigi, 27, explained that she had a breast reduction to help with her debilitating pain as a result of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

“I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome around 10 or 11 and that was really a challenge,” she said The New York Post.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of rare genetic disorders that influence the connective tissues of the body, including skin, joints and blood vessels, per NHS.

It is usually characterized by overly flexible joints, chronic soft and stretchable skin that easily dent, frequent joint locations and chronic pain.

“I grew up with chronic migraine, chronic fatigue, pain, brain fog – many different symptoms – and by the time I went to university, I really realized how much impact living with a chronic illness had on me,” she shared.

The swimming suit model said that the operation was “never cosmetic.”

“My goal was not to get a breast reduction smaller or to lose weight,” she explained.

The model, which was a finalist in Sport Illustrated Swim Search in 2022, was operated on to reduce its size from a 34th to 34B (post-operation)

The model said that her only regret is that she did not have the operation before (pre-operation)

“My goal was rooted in my desire to overcome chronic illness.”

GigiHelp She fits in size 4 or 6, but had to fit a maximum of 10 or 12 the size for her bras under her clothes before surgery.

The model, which was a Sports Illustrated Swin Search finalist in 2022, was operated on to reduce its size from a 34th to 34B.

“I couldn’t train without much pressure in my neck and my shoulders and my back,” said Gigi.

“And getting imaging and trying things such as acupuncture and cupping, cold dive, sauna – all those things helped me with my pain and fatigue, but it was so specific to my upper abdominal muscles and upper body.”

In 2022 the model was operated on to help with her chronic pain and switched to an organic diet, but her neck and shoulder pain still lingered.

“That is when I really made the decision to continue and consider a breast reduction,” she described to the outlet.

“I had three or four different consultations and all doctors said:” We think you could benefit from this. “

“And I think the only regret I have – like many other women – is that I wanted me to do this before.”

When she underwent the operation earlier this year, Gigi said that doctors told her that they were not sure what size she would be after the procedure.

“They have a certain amount of tissue that they have to stay alive and keep to make your body still function in the right way,” she explained.

‘But what she can confirm is that’ things fit much differently than before – in a good way. ‘

In January she confirmed that her mate was now 34b in one before and after Tiktok video.

‘The 34th to 34b shift is wild for me. I am so happy. I can’t wait to be with you on this trip, “read her caption.

After the operation, the model wanted to share a message for people who think that if you want a breast reduction, you ‘just have to lose weight’.

“You have to think about the limitations that people who live with a larger chest and/or a chronic illness can suffer,” she said.

‘Losing weight is not necessarily a great option. It also maintains the idea that you get a breast reduction because you want to be smaller. ‘

She also wanted to be transparent that the operation was only an outpatient procedure of two to four hours.

“The doctor comes in Marks You Up with a Sharpie and shows that you are going to cut – my doctor said,” It’s like we are doing origami, but with your breasts “and then you go into the room, and then you wake up in the outpatient room and you clearly come from anesthesia, so you’re a little crazy,” they have shared.

Gigi said the drains on the side of her breasts, which are small tubes in the incision place to drain liquid – were the only painful part.

Although she admitted: “The first week was difficult,” she felt good after the first five days.
