Teens’ breasts grew to triple G cup size after COVID vaccination: study

A 19-year-old woman’s breasts amazingly grew from a B cup to a triple G in the six months following her Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination in what researchers are calling a first-of-its-kind case.

The unidentified “young healthy woman” reportedly experienced the rapid growth a week after being vaccinated in September 2022 – and it got worse after the second dose.

“The patient believed that the vaccine caused her breasts to grow; however, her concerns were not adequately addressed by her primary care physicians, leading to mistrust of the health care system,” the Toronto-based researchers wrote last month in the journal Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery-Global Open.

The authors of the study noted the so-called “Pfizer boob job” phenomenon – some women claimed that their breasts grew after the shot, but there is no evidence that this was the case.

The researchers report that while lymph node swelling is a “known side effect” of the COVID-19 vaccination, changes in the structure or density of breast tissue are “extremely rare.”

The study authors said there was only one published case describing distinctive breast changes after the Pfizer booster, and it was a visible lump. This woman didn’t have a lump.

The woman was found to have a very rare condition in which a benign lesion called PASH causes extreme breast enlargement – fewer than 20 cases have been documented.

“This case is the first to demonstrate a temporal association between PASH-associated gigantomastia and a vaccine,” the researchers wrote.

The Post contacted Pfizer for comment.

The woman reported that she felt a tingling sensation in her breasts before they grew. Doctors did not notice hormonal changes in her blood work and prescribed steroids and antibiotics to no avail.

Her breasts stopped growing after six months, and she underwent reduction surgery five months later, according to the case report.

She lost a lot of blood during the procedure, which limited the amount of breast tissue surgeons could remove. She has double D breasts and may get another breast reduction to return to her normal size.

The authors of the Toronto study are calling for further research to see if there is a link between the COVID-19 vaccine, PASH and rapid breast growth.

More than 13.6 billion COVID-19 doses have been administered worldwide as of 2020. A small proportion of those immunized were harmed by the injections, with medical professionals saying the benefits still outweigh the risks.
