When I was very young, I had huge aureola and I thought, "Wow, I must be going to have some big boobs!" LOL. How wrong I was! I never understood why mine never grew, and why they were so strangely shaped...and worse, why they were so "ugly". And, I'm sorry, but that's the only way I can describe them. At least my own, anyway. And I have always kept them hidden.
When I had my baby, I was nagged at by the doctors to breastfeed, which I wanted to do, but had no milk. They told me that the reason I didn't have any milk was because I didn't try to breastfeed enough. Well, believe me, I tried. I could get out nothing more than few droplets, which really upset me since I know the value of breastfeeding. It wasn't until then that I researched the reasons for lack of milk production that I found out about tuberous breast deformity.
I will be honest. I am ashamed of my breasts. Luckily, they look "normal" on the top ; that is, when I have on a bra. But they are so disproportionately small! I'm 5'8" tall with a medium build, and a very, very flat chest.
Several years ago I got really excited when I had insurance, thinking I could get them "corrected", but was devastated when I found out the insurance company only covered surgery for ONE tuberous breast. If you had two, it was considered a cosmetic procedure. I could never quite figure that one out. For some of us, having this problem can be incredibly emotionally draining, and can really deplete your self-esteem.
I would love to get them "fixed", and for no one other than myself.
