ABSTRACT: Breast hypertrophy, characterised by excessive breast enlargement, affects women’s quality of life. Breast reduction surgery is the main treatment. However, many challenges remain in our developing country context. Limited technical facilities and the lack of financial resources among local populations constitute a real obstacle. This study aims to examine the epidemiological and clinical aspects of breast hypertrophy and to evaluate its management in this particular context with the aim of identifying practical improvements.
