Gigi Robinson has posed for Sports Illustrated Swim and built a public career about faith and visibility.
So she can surprise some that she recently made a deeply personal and physically transformer decision – to get a breast reduction.
And she revealed to the post that she had a major impact on her overall health.
“It was never a cosmetic thing for me. My goal was not to get a breast cut to be smaller or to lose weight,” she told the post.
“My goal was rooted in my desire to overcome chronic illness.”
Robinson who describes herself as traditionally a 4 or 6-died size up to 10 or 12 just to fit its pre-surgery BRA.
She estimates that she was close to an e-philoshan in her 5-foot-4-inch frame-and the physical number was undeniable.
“I couldn’t exert without much pressure on my neck and shoulders and my back,” she said.
“And getting the image and trying for things like acupuncture and cup, cold immersion, sauna – all those things helped me with my pain and fatigue, but it was so specific to the upper abdomen and upper body.“
The decision came after years of treatment of poor chronic pain.
“I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome in about 10 or 11 and it was really challenging,” she said.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a set of inherited connective tissue disorders marked by extremely flexible joints, stretched skin and a tendency to easily bruise or suffer from frequent joint displacements and chronic pain.
“The only regret I have – like many other women – is that I would like to do this sooner.”

“I grew up with chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, pain, brain fog – many different symptoms – and with the time I arrived at college, I really realized how influence she lived with a chronic illness on me,” she said.
Even after performing surgeries in 2022 and switching to an organic diet, she was still experiencing severe neck and shoulder pain.
“This is when I really made the decision to go ahead and consider a breast landing,” she said.
“I had three or four different consultations and all the doctors said,” We think you can benefit from this. ”
“And I think the only regret I have – like many other women – would I like to do this sooner.”
Despite what some people might think, Robinson told a doctor could not guarantee how much cup size she would go down after surgery.
“They have a certain amount of tissue that has to keep alive and hold so that your body still functioning properly,” she explained.
But what she can confirm is that “things fit differently than once – in a good way.”
While Robinson did not meet any negativity about lowering her breast, she is aware that it is considered a hot topic, which is strange because – even if someone has received a breast decrease for aesthetic reasons – she believes “is the same argument that people make to get breast implants – it’s just the opposite.”
And she has a message for anyone who thinks that someone who wants to get a breast landing should “just” lose weight.
“My doctor said,” Likes are we making origami, but with your breasts. “”

“You need to think about the limitations that people living with a larger chest and/or a chronic illness can suffer,” she said.
“Losing weight is not necessarily a great option. He also perpetuates the idea that you are getting a breast landing because you want to be smaller.”
Another myth of breast-breast reduction she wants to debut is the idea that she involves a long and intense surgery-is actually a two-four-hour outpatient operation.
“ The doctor comes to the Marks with a charpie and tells you a kind of where he will shorten – my doctor said: ‘Likes as we are making origami but with your breasts’ – And then you get into the room, and then wake up in the outpatient room and you are definitely coming out of the anesthesia, so you are a little loop. “
She noted that the only painful part were drains – small tubes located near the cutting site to prevent the construction of the fluid – which she had to wear for about a week and keep dry all the time.
How did she shower? “Well, you become a creative,” she said with a laugh.
They were also uncomfortable, as she felt “pressing on a wound” whenever her wings were sitting.
While she admitted that “the first week was hard” because she was a little hurt and needed help to go to the bathroom, she felt good after the first five days.
The only complication she really experienced was slow wound healing, which is a symptom of EDS.
These days, she is doing well.
“I’m very happy,” she said. “I’ve done almost daily training in the gym. I’m feeling really good.”
Nor is she slowing down – her children’s book, “A Children’s Book for Chronic Disease”, has recently hit the shelves, and is currently working on a non -fiction book for adults, among other major projects.
And she has a message to share with other people who may be caught up with the decision to get breast lowering or live in a chronic state of pain:
“If you advocate for yourself and if you educate yourself, a whole new world can be unlocked.”
