Gigantomastia is a rare condition characterized by excessive breast enlargement, which can lead to physical and psychological distress. Gestational gigantomastia (GG) occurs during pregnancy, often presenting significant management challenges. This case contributes to the limited literature on GG management by highlighting the successful use of the Goldilocks technique combined with free nipple grafting, offering insights into an effective surgical approach. A pregnant woman presented with severe GG. She underwent bilateral skin-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction using the Goldilocks technique with free nipple grafting. The intervention provided both functional and aesthetic outcomes, significantly improving the patient's quality of life. This case underscores the effectiveness of modern reconstructive surgical techniques in managing GG, particularly in complex cases where hormonal therapy is insufficient.
