Gigi Robinson has proposed for Sports Illustrated Swim and built a public career on confidence and visibility.
Therefore, it may be surprised that he has recently made a deeply personal and physically transformative decision: to obtain a breast reduction.
And he revealed to the publication that he has had a significant impact on his general health.
“It was never a cosmetic thing for me. My goal was not to make a breast reduction smaller or to lose weight,” he told The Post.
“My goal was rooted in my desire to overcome chronic illness.”
Robinson, who describes himself as traditionally a 4 or 6 size, had to dimension up to 10 or 12 only to adapt to his pre-dururgery.
It is estimated that it was near a 5 -foot frame electronic cup and the physical toll was undeniable.
“He couldn’t exercise without much pressure on his neck and his shoulders and his back,” he said.
“And get pictures and try things like acupuncture and punch, cold demolition, sauna, all these things have helped me with my pain and fatigue, but it was so specific to my superior abs and upper body.,
The decision took place after years of dealing with chronic weakening pain.
“I was diagnosed with Hypermobile Syndrome EHLERS-DANLOS Around 10 or 11 years and this was really difficult,” he said.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of connective tissue disorders inherited by unusually flexible joints, stretched skin and a tendency to easily bruise or suffer frequent joint dislocations and chronic pain.
“The only lament I have, like many other women, is that I would like to do it before.”

“I grew up with chronic migraines, chronic fatigue, pain, brain fog, many different symptoms, and when I came to college, I really realized the amount of impact I had with a chronic illness,” he said.
Even after surgery in 2022 and going on an organic diet, he still had a severe neck pain and shoulder.
“It was when I made the decision to move forward and consider a breast reduction,” he said.
“I had three or four different queries and all the doctors said,” We believe you could benefit from it. ”
“And I think the only lament I have, like many other women, is that I would like to do it before.”
Contrary to what some people might think, Robinson told him that a doctor could not really guarantee how many cup sizes he would go down after surgery.
“They have a certain amount of fabric that they must keep alive and maintain them so that your body still works in the correct way,” he said.
But what can confirm is that “things fit the ones they were once in a good way.”
Although no negativity was found in Robinson about reducing his breast, he is aware that he is considered a hot topic, which is strange because, even if anyone obtained a breast reduction for aesthetic reasons, he believes that “it is the same argument that people do to obtain implants – it is only the other way around.”
And he has a message for anyone who thinks that someone who wants to get a breast reduction should “simply” lose weight.
“My doctor said,” It’s like we’re making origami, but with breasts. “”

“You have to think about the limitations that people living with a larger chest and/or a chronic illness can suffer,” he said.
“Losing weight is not necessarily a great option. It also perpetuates the idea that you get a breast reduction because you want to be smaller.”
Another breast reduction myth that wants to erase is the idea of long intensive surgery: it is actually an outpatient surgery of two to four hours.
)It Dr. sets you with a Sharpie and shows you a little where he is going to cut: my doctor said, “It’s like we’re doing origami, but with your breasts” – And then go to the room and then wake up in the outpatient room and obviously leave the anesthesia, so you are a little loop. “”
He said that the only painful part was the drains: small tubes placed near the incision site to prevent the liquid from being built, which had to wear for about a week and keep dry for all time.
How did you shower? “Well, you are creative,” he said with a laugh.
They were also uncomfortable, as he felt like “applying pressure on a wound” every time his arms went down.
While admitting that “the first week was hard” because he was a little sore and needed help to go to the bathroom, he felt good after the first five days.
The only complication he really experienced was the slow healing of wounds, which is a sign of Ed.
These days, he is doing very well.
“I’m so happy,” he said. “I’ve been doing almost daily training in the gym. I feel great.”
It also does not slow down: his children’s book, “a children’s book on chronic illness”, has recently arrived on shelves and is currently working on a non -fiction book for adults, among other major projects.
And has a message to share with others who could face the decision to make breast reduction surgery or to live with a chronic pain condition:
“If you defend yourself and if you educate, a completely new world can unlock.”
