Summer Robert, 28, claims to have the biggest boobs in the UK, but she says she’s unable to get a breast reduction. According to her, she’s been told she’s “too fat” to have the procedure
A woman claims she’s been told she’s “too fat” to have surgery that could potentially change her life. Summer Robert, 28, has previously stated she has the “biggest boobs in the UK”, and it’s a condition that comes with various consequences.
Summer’s boobs currently measure a 30R and weigh approximately 25kg (55lbs), which is roughly the weight of a small child. For around 10 years, she alleges she begged doctors for a reduction, only to be met with a rigid “no”, as it appears her boobs are so heavy that it makes her BMI (body mass index) remain technically high, which led doctors to dismiss her as “too fat” to have the surgery, despite her small frame.
It’s not the first time she’s spoken out about her woes either. In the past, she’s admitted women can troll her just because she has large breasts.
Summer, from Scotland, who has over 300,000 followers on Instagram, has always been honest about her struggles with body image. In recent years though, she has come to love and accept her body more.
Now it’s got to the point where she no longer wants the surgery anymore. She explained: “I no longer want it as I have come to terms with how beautiful my body is. I was also told even if I get it they will just come back.”
Summer has a condition called Macromastia, which is the medical term for having abnormally large breasts, and it can lead to various complications like chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches, bra strap grooving and difficulty carrying out daily activities.
Though it’s a condition that comes with its struggles, she has learnt to deal with the problems that arise. It was still a shock to be told there was nothing that could be done though.
“The doctors told me that my BMI was too high because my boobs weigh too much,” she added. “I felt deflated, but I’m glad in the long-run.
“The doctors can’t guarantee that they won’t stop growing, but they also can’t say if they will. It’s a grey area.” Now she claims her best option is to love herself for who she is, and simply accept her body.
She nearly had the reduction when she was 24 though. After a health scare involving a non-cancerous lump in her breast, specialists finally recommended a reduction. But, as she prepared for the surgery she had craved since childhood, the Covid-19 pandemic hit, halting all non-emergency procedures.
“Actually, I’m really happy that Covid happened,” Summer admitted. “It sounds crazy because of all the people that died, but it meant that I didn’t get a reduction, and then I wouldn’t be where I am now. I wouldn’t be successful.”
During the pandemic, Summer started making saucy content, and this is what turned things around for her. For the first time, she found a community that didn’t view her body as a weird, medical anomaly, but as something to be celebrated.
The shift in perspective was radical and immediate. Summer added: “My whole life, people have told me that my body’s weird because my boobs are so big.
“No one’s ever been nice about it. They’ve always just been like, ‘yeah, it’s weird that she has massive boobs and she’s so young.’ Then everyone celebrated the fact that I have a different body.
“Realising that my body is actually beautiful instead of weird, like everyone else said, it changed everything.”
This empowerment extends to her personal life as well. After years of feeling that her body was a burden to be fixed to appease others, including former partners and their families, she now views her boobs as her “big money maker” and a source of pride.
She said: “The only reason I would want a reduction was to, like, appease other people, to make other people feel better and make my ex-boyfriend’s parents not judge me. But now, I genuinely love my boobs, and I love my body so much.”
