Q: Tuberous breasts

I have what is called tuberous breasts. Tuberous breasts develop when the skin does not stretch adequately during puberty. The result is a tight, constricted breast, shaped somewhat like a tube. Often the breasts will have a pointed shape, rather than a nice round base. The pigmented areola is usually quite large and often looks as it if has been stuck onto the end of the breast. Women should know that tuberous breasts are more common than most people realize. Usually, correction is done after puberty, once the breasts have fully developed. I am extremely self conscious of my breasts and I never want my boyfriend to see me naked, which I know in the long run will negatively affect our relationship. I know there is surgery that could fix this problem but I cannot afford it right now! I dont know what to do, everytime I look in the mirror I am disgusted by my breasts and their huge areolas! I have what people call "sausage" or "cookie" nipples. Do men find my breasts disgusting and not womanly?!

Well, I was nervous about my husband seeing my uneven breasts because I hated them! He was nothing but a gentleman tho. If your boyfriend truly loves you, he's going to love all of you and not be judgemental of your issues. Smile
