The Impact of Macromastia on Adolescents: A Cross-Sectional Study
Pediatrics, 08/09/2012
Cerrato F et al. – Macromastia has a substantial negative impact on health–related quality of life, self–esteem, physical symptoms, and eating behaviors in adolescents with this condition. These observations were largely independent of BMI category. Health care providers should be aware of these important negative health outcomes that are associated with macromastia and consider early evaluation for adolescents with this condition.
