r/tuberousbreast

I’m pretty positive I have tuberous breast deformity. Looking for some tips and solutions for what kind of procedures and plastic surgery would be best for my shape. This is one of my biggest insecurities and would help me immensely. Surgeon recommendations that specialize in tuberous breasts would be greatly appreciated.

(NO DMs please. Whatever you wanna say, you're free to say it in the comments. I don't reply to dms so I'm saying this beforehand so that you don't feel bad)

18F and I'm planning on getting surgery when I'm older. My left breast is underdeveloped and tuberous. It's cold rn so it may not look it but when it isn't cold the nipple is completely invisible. The areola and nipple just make one big mass that's like half the boob. I have gained weight so it looks bigger than usual bit It's round about an A cup. The right boob is a C-D cup and it's okay except for the sagging which causes these deep red marks under the breasts. That might also be linked to the fact that I wear really hard wired and hard padded bras the size of my bigger boob and the smaller one doesn't fit but the hard pads hide that. But it's really uncomfortable. I am also very self conscious and have lost sleep over this for way too long but that's a story for another day. They're a lot more disproportionate than the pictures make them out to be.

I would also like advice on what sort of bras to wear when working out.

I will be getting the smaller boob corrected, and am considering reduction and lift for the bigger one. The thing is, when I wear a bra and my boobs even out, my upper body looks really big compared to my lower. And I've never been a fan of big boobs. The boobs is also pointed away and sagging and just looks weird unless I wear wired bras but the wired bras are pretty uncomfortable.

The one thing I'm worried about is scars. Should I only get the left bood done and leave the right? How bad are the scars? I would like to wear skinny tops and henleys and my breast is big enough that it makes them look weird and unflattering. Should I just go for it (after a lot of research obviously)

I’m 3 months post op (uplift with anchor incisions and implants). My breasts were also asymmetrical so the larger breast has a smaller implant 250cc and the other got a 320cc. I also had lipo down the side boob area (underneath my armpits)

Obviously the shape overall has improved but it seems like the asymmetry has now swapped and they are quite different in shape and size. My surgeon doesn’t see an issue and just said the natural fold shape underneath could not be altered.

The larger breast that’s now smaller also had some tissue removed and I’m not sure if that’s why the shape underneath isn’t round. They hang at different heights and I feel like it’s noticeable through clothes even with a bra.

I know it’s early days in healing still & they will probably still change a lot. Has anyone had similar experiences with this?? They’re just not how I expected them to be :(

Hello, TBD sisters. TLDR: many ancient societies viewed women afflicted with TBD as highly powerful beings with the ability to overcome such flaws and reach their ultimate feminine potential…maybe it can inspire a perspective shift?😉

Another “humiliating” night with my self-proclaimed titty-loving husband getting harder over rubbing my belly than my deformed titties…actually lost his erection when reaching that point. Gotta laugh to keep from crying!🤣

Anyway, I remember watching an unrelated video a while back, where the goddess statues had very tuberous breasts. They weren’t mentioning the breasts, but they were talking about how these goddesses were seen as highly powerful in ancient society. It caught my attention and led me to research how TBD was viewed in ancient society. My summary of the AI-response I got is that breast deformities were still seen as an affliction, but that it was a sign of a very powerful woman who would learn to overcome her flaws and shine her feminine powers through other means. These women were sometimes uplifted as the nurturing head of communities, filling powerful roles offering wisdom and guidance.

Sure, it didn’t totally help to hear our breasts would’ve still been viewed as imperfect even in ancient times, but it encouraged me to fight to find that “feminine energy” through different means. It’s not accepting defeat, but finally facing reality for what it is, and learning to reshape and reclaim my femininity.

We have been given the power to overcome this…something about that thought helps me make it through the day. Most women, even staunch feminists, might be a bit shaken up if they woke up with our breasts for a day. We have to live this every day. When we come out on the other side of this mental struggle, just imagine how we will glow, sisters.

…Hope my rambling helps someone else. Self love and acceptance is a 24/7 conscious effort when the most feminine feature you can have is deformed. Anything helps…☺️

Note: the image isn’t the exact image of the deity statues in the video I watched but I can’t remember which video it was! It was completely unrelated to goddesses or breasts to begin with, so I’m not sure if I’ll find the video again.

I’ve always struggled with the way my boobs look and I’ve tried to boost my confidence by getting piercings and tattoos to distract myself from the way they look,
Unfortunately It hasn’t really worked :(
I’ve always wondered why they look so different and why I can never find any representation or other young adults that have boobs like mine. although there is nothing wrong with the look of aging breasts I’ve also always struggled with the fact that I’ve never got to experience perky or “youthful” breasts, they’ve always been downturned and covered in stretch marks and saggy and I have always felt like I’ve had old lady boobs.
And only in the past couple of months I discovered what tuberous breast even were, and although it was nice to see representation of breasts that looked like mine it was also frustrating to have the first representation of my boobs that I see be a “deformity”.
And For some context, I have a girlfriend who I’ve been with for three years and she loves me and my boobs but I can’t help but think she wishes they were different because if I can’t see any beauty in them, how on earth dose she? And I’m very grateful that she loves them but I just don’t get it… I just wish I could see what she sees, it’s like every time I look at my boobs I’m disappointed and if I’m being honest a little disgusted, I don’t want to be, but it’s just the way I perceive myself. And I feel like boobs are such a beautiful uniquely feminine thing and in a way I feel deprived of having the experience of boobs. And I know that sounds silly because I have boobs, but I just don’t see anything feminine about them. And it’s getting to a point where my boobs are seriously affecting my mental health and the way I see myself. I’ve always struggled with self-confidence but as I’ve gotten older I’m struggling more and more with my boobs, and I’ve thought about getting some form of surgery, but surgery is really really expensive and personally I don’t think I would like implants for me, I thought about getting a fat transfer but I’m really uneducated and I don’t know what that would even look like, especially with tuberous breasts
So if anyone has any wisdom to share about anything I’ve touched on I’d love some feedback, this group is truly so beautiful and It’s been extremely helpful reading about other women’s experiences and seeing other women like me❣️

first pic is when my nipple is hard and cold , and the second is when warm. it’s a bit smaller than my other one. i know i have lower pole, but in their natural state (warm) they just look pointy and my areola get quite puffy. my inframammary fold is around 1cm higher on the smaller breast. i’m 20

hey guys! I cant tell if my boobs are tuberous or just saggy idk but ive been really insecure of them ever since I found out everyone elses boobs didnt look like mine 😞 Its frustrating as im only 19, though they do look different when the nipples are perked, not much better tho

if anyone has any tips on how to feel better about them, that would be appreciated!! im not in any place financially to get a surgery, but does anyone think a better look could be achieved with just fat grafting? I want to try to avoid the scars from a lift

also, they arent that big (34c) so idk why they sag so much, but if anyone has a guess to what would happen if I lost 15-20 lbs, lmk!!

This is how it is right now. Here are the things I want

1. Smaller and higher nipples
2. Lifted and rounder breasts
3. I don’t need huge breasts but I surely want the gap addressed

Is a natural look achievable after surgery? I really don’t want to look like two slices of lemon stuck on my chest

Alright, I’m still young and theres a chance that my breasts are still developing, but they’re very much tuberous.

Over the past few months I’ve noticed that they’ve changed a lot in shape, still tuberous but they’ve rounded out a lot more (excuse my horrible drawing I am no artist but it’s just for reference). I also feel like they’re less protruding? They were very much a straight line from my chest at the bottom, but now they’re slightly more slanted.

I thought it may be because my nipple was constricted but when i checked again when my nipples were fully relaxed they were still the same.

I don’t know if there’s anyone else on this sub who has gone through this too and knows if theres a reason why. Maybe I’ve just deluded myself with false hope 😭 But please do let me know!!

In my initial pictures you’ll notice, my nipples are slightly hard because I was a bit cold. The more I gave it thought I was thinking I should send further pictures of when my nipples are warm so the surgeon can understand the full picture.

You’ll know the difference in my pictures between being slightly cold and warm, I’m just a bit concerned they are not telling me to go ahead and send further pictures because I mean what’s the big deal. Whereas if I wait until my in face consultation it may cost me more money to have my nipples reduced, it’s not so much the width of my nipples that is the issue when I eventually have implants that will be okay, it’s how much they protrude out. I definitely have a mild form of tuberous breast right?

If anyone has had correction surgery in Turkey how much extra was it to have the nipples corrected?

Thanks for anyone who’s read and listened. I hope I’m not going insane for thinking I’ve tuberous breasts cos the pictures of my breasts warm are identical to some of the girls on here.
