So I got breast micromastia and tuberous breasts and possibly mild pectus carinatum (oh yeah the chest wall can totally turn development sideways apparently)....and thats just the lot I was dealt. I struggled really really badly as a teenager with my self image and always dreamed of getting implants or some kind of surgery to make me look more like a "normal woman". And that's only thinking about self image and fitting into clothes, not even going into lactation issues.

​

Sometime around 23 or so I found some comfort in getting to understand myself better and more honestly and just figured that these odd shaped itty bitties sorta matched who I am in a way.

​

And on a more anxious but logical note, with getting older it has always stayed in my mind that breast cancer runs heavily in my dad's family...and the thought of what if it strikes me too? I may not have a lot of breast tissue but even actual cisgender men sometimes end up getting it..so small tuberous breasts probably wouldnt be immune to that, even if i was able to breastfeed a small amount....Then 10K + dollars would likely go down the drain and there could be just more pain and struggle to look/feel normal...

​

The insecurities never completely died though tbh. And with my line of work sometimes people can be bullies. And thats mostly fine, until im having some dry days but still gotta work and then get bullied...and of course the awkwardness of trying to wear sexy stuff with tits that dont fit into cups or hang over a underwire the right way...

​

Was watching a video last night that my partner put on and I started rethinking about the corrective surgeries I've read people post about getting in here...

​

But I gotta ask/wonder, has anyone with tuberous tits got surgery and then unfortunately got cancer after the surgery (like even a decade or 2 later)? My question is, was it still worth doing and were you able to get a replacement(s) just as nice as what you paid for?

​

I probably sound crazy to ponder that scenario but im 33 and it has struck multiple women in my dad's family. Im just the odd one out that didnt develop fully during puberty..
