I know I'm a few months behind posting this but I would like to share my story with everyone else who has posted on here. I am a 18 year old female who discovered just a few months ago that I have tuberous breasts. From the time I began puberty I knew that my breasts weren't "normal". Even knowing that, throughout high school I always had a small glimmer of hope that they would grow. Well there I was turning 18 and I still looked exactly the way I did when I was 13! So I decided to do some research on my own and came across the words "insufficient mammery glands" which then led me to "tubular breast deformity". I remember just crying. Crying because I knew this is what I had and I would never be normal in my eyes.
Now I would like to respond to the actual question here "to fix or not to fix?". Let me just tell you all a little background info. Throughout high school I have had 2 serious relationships and several casual relationships as well. All of them included the guys I was with seeing my breasts. And let me tell you, not one guy ever once pointed out that I didn't look normal or that he was turned off by my breasts. That brings me to the relationship I'm in now. My current boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years now and of course he's seen my breasts. He was the first person I ever told about my tuberous breasts, to which he explained that yes he always knew they looked a little different but never once dd it bother him or turn him off.
Now let me also tell you how many countless nights I have cried myself to sleep because of my tuberous breasts. No one knows the emotional pain you endure until you live with them. You long to be normal. You envy every other woman who has "normal breasts". Having tuberous breasts can consume your life.
For all the above reasons I have decided that BA surgery would be the best route for me to go. I just want to make one thing clear, I AM DOING THIS FOR MYSELF. I want all you ladies to know something: a good man will love you the way you are! And if a man doesn't love you PLUS your tuberous breasts then he is no man you should want to be with. BA is a wonderful "fix" for women living with tuberous breasts. It's not for everyone, and that is 100% ok. But sometimes women have to do things for themselves and themselves only. In no way shape or form do I want huge DD's, I just want BREASTS. I would never even be even considering this if I didn't have this condition, but the thought of going through with it makes me feel so much better.
Lastly, I want to say THANK YOU for this article. It along with the comments have uplifted me, inspired me, and given me many different points of view on the subject. I feel so relieved knowing there are many more women living with the same exact thing as me. I hope you all have a wonderful day, and thanks again.
