I have tuberous breasts & I was never aware of that fact for years. I've always, always been unhappy with them, my mum teased me about them when they were beginning to bud at about 10 or 12 calling them "headlights". I always kept in the back in my mind that maybe I'm just at a growing stage & eventually it'll go away & suddenly I'll have normal beautiful breasts. I'm now 20 & they bother me so much I sleep with a bra on, I avoid looking at my body in the shower or mirror & whenever I'm not wearing a bra, I push them against my body so I won't have to feel their awkwardness when I'm wearing clothes. One day I decide to look up types of breasts on the internet, I wanted to find out if having ugly breasts like this is normal. What I find is sites labelling them as "deformities" "abnormalities" "a rare case". Sites after sites of having "corrective surgery" available. As if they're that bad, like having a growth, or having an arm for a leg & a leg for an arm, & it needs correction. I've never felt more unhappy with my body in my life.
