I am also a woman with tuberous breasts and feel bad for somebody like the person who posted above. I certainly don't feel "abnormal", no more so than my friend with a big nose, or my other friend who is bow-legged. Sure, we all want to improve ourselves, and it would be nice to find a (hormonal/systemic) cure that would make tuberous breasts grow naturally to look more like what we expect breasts to look like but to date no such treatment exists. What I can't understand is how you think having a foreign object, i.e. silicone/saline blob inside you will make you normal. That is what always stopped me from having the surgery. I have had many boyfriends and I have been upfront about myself, often before anything intimate occurred. And guess what? Nobody cared and I have had some great relationships. If it's all about being attractive to men,before you have that surgery why don't you check what the stats are on men's opinions on implants. In my experience, most men worth anything think implants are pretty disgusting. I think my husband said it best. He said he by far preferred my breasts the way they were because they were NATURAL and he "would be grossly turned off knowing (I) had a purposeless foreign object inside (me)". The point is,an implant is not a prosthetic leg or steel hip that helps you function, it's a blob of pointless yuck wedged under your skin that makes your chest stick out more. That's it! If you think that makes you sexy, appealing or normal I think you have more problems than you think you do. it's not the same as "pinning back your ears" or "removing a mole", neither of which leave a fake object pretending to be a natural body part. While I firmly believe women should absolutely do what they want to their bodies, my point is that you may be "solving" what you think is one problem (being rejected for having tuberous breasts), only to replace it for another (being rejected for having fake ones). Sometimes the "Cure" is worse than the "disease". p.s. I fully expect some plastic surgery lobbyist to respond to my post negatively but hopefully intelligent readers will see right through that.
