A WOMAN on Send Nudes: Body SOS whose medical condition sees her boobs continuously grow to a “humongous” size has opened up about how hard everyday life is.
Melissa is a 24-year-old aspiring nurse who, despite being athletic in her youth, has found herself weighed down by her sizeable 36MM breasts.
Appearing on E4 show Send Nudes: Body SOS, she opened up about living with gigantomastia - a rare condition that means breast tissue grows rapidly and disproportionately.
She was presented with the opportunity to see versions of herself with different surgery options that might address her daily struggles.
“I’ve always been perceived as the girl who looks older than I am,” she said.
“People always tell me, ‘I wish I had what you have’, but they don’t realise the consequences that it has. It’s something that I wouldn’t even wish upon my worst enemy.”

“I can’t go outside without getting stares, comments, insults, I’m sick of it,” she said.
And looking at her nude avatar with host Vogue Williams, Melissa explained that her insecurities had started when she was only ten years old.
"You can see where the issue is with my breasts, at the moment I wear 36M, I can’t remember being an A-cup.
"I don’t like them, they’re humongous, I feel like I’m an outcast… I can’t bend down, I can’t go to sleep because of the pain that I’m in."

Melissa then admitted: "I always get pains in my lower back now. The other day I was looking in the mirror and I saw a couple of bruises on the side."
Members of the public then reacted to a version of Melissa with a breast reduction to a G-cup.
"They just immediately look better,” choreographer Raheem said, before adding: "The size is good because it matches your frame."
So, after hearing the feedback, Melissa revealed that she had decided to opt for a breast reduction surgery, but was waiting until after she had finished her nursing studies.
