A woman with size O boobs has said they won’t stop growing because she suffers from a rare medical condition.
Summer Robert measures in at just 4ft 9in at 25 years old, but her chest is now thought to weight her down by more than four stone (25kg).
The rapid growth of her breasts, which now measure in at around a 30N or 28O depending on the brand of bra, has caused the Scottish woman to face physical and financial toll as well as being harassed and ‘over-sexualised’.

Summer has been diagnosed by macromastia by doctors, a type of breast hypertrophy which means that excess breast tissue grows rapidly and her chest continues to get bigger over time. She has been open about living with this as she says she’s been denied breast reduction.
By the age of 10, the Scot was wearing B-cup bras and then by the time she hit 16, she had grown to a double J.
This meant Summer was having to wear corsets and specially made bras that didn’t come cheap.
“I once bought a custom bra from a local shop for £800, it funnily enough broke in a month like they all do,” she told the Daily Mail.
“My bust goes up a little bit every month, it depends mostly. I've had months where I grow two sizes I've had months where I stay the same.”

And in the space of a year, Summer said she’s grown 10 sizes, as she told Metro: “From 22 to 24, I stayed a K-cup but now they’re increasing rapidly in size again. That’s why doctors think I’ve got gigantomastia, rather than just macromastia.”
However, she claims she’s been refused reduction surgery due to exceeding the NHS’ BMI threshold criteria.
Because of her chest size, Summer is technically categorised as ‘morbidly obese’.
As a teen, doctors told her the rapid growth was ‘just puberty’ and at 17, they told her she ‘was too fat’.
She explained: “They told me to lose weight, even though I was a size eight on the bottom half. My mum went crazy because there was no fat on me.”
Summer claimed she ended up developing an eating disorder after being told she was ‘fat from such a young age’.
“It’s because it was pure breast tissue,” she explained. “I was really sick, but then my mum broke down and my family begged me to eat – that was when I started looking after myself again.”
And again, at 23, a doctor finally agreed she needed a reduction and referred her but seven months later: “They refused to do the reduction because my BMI was too high. They didn’t care.”
From being teased by boys at school, apparently sent home from school, cat called when she walked home to being ‘over-sexualised’ in hospitality and being in ‘horrific pain’ from the weight of her breasts, Summer has found a way of turning them into a positive.
At 23, she became an OnlyFans creator known as ‘Scotch Dolly’ and made £70,000 last month. Although, while it has given her a sense of confidence, some of her former teachers have apparently subscribed.
And speaking of cat callers, Summer added: “When I was younger I hated the attention but now I just think they could be a potential buyer, and my subscribers aren’t creepy, they genuinely love my breasts and support me.”
