Doctors at Hanoi’s Saint Paul Hospital on May 8 performed a successful breast reduction surgery on a 13-year-old girl from Quang Ngai.

Dr. Nguyen Thiet Son, the hospital’s chief operator, said that doctors were astonished by the girl’s breast size when she arrived in early May for a check-up. One breast was over 5kg and the other was 4.5kg.Son predicted that, over the next two years as her breasts continued developing, she may have suffered from serious spinal and neck problems.

The physicians also agreed that her breasts were the largest ever for a young girl in Vietnam and even the world. Germany previously reported a 14-year-old girl with huge breasts, with each weighing 3kg..

After four hours, seven doctors cut off 4.6kg and 5kg of tissue.

Son explained that this is a type of disease caused by a hormonal disorder at puberty that cannot be cured through medication. In some cases, the disease recurs, but only in about 5 percent of the cases.

The girl said that she was very happy because she can return to school next year.

She remarked that her breasts began developing strongly in August 2009, growing to the size of watermelons last November. She became very reluctant to go to school. Her father revealed that the family was very worried about her unusual physical development and had been to many hospitals in HCM City, which all claimed they could not be of help.

Then he read an article about Doctor Tran Thiet Son’s breast reduction surgery, so he took his daughter to see him.

“We only wish that our daughter can develop normally and live naturally and healthily,” added the father, who was also very happy after the successful surgery.
