r/tuberousbreast

i’m super very insecure about my boobs and the fact that they have such a drastic difference is humiliating.

one is “normal” or minimally tuberous yet the other is grade 3/4

I am really not trying to sound like an asshole here but, I can't really understand why women get their tuberous breasts corrected if not to appeal to men/partners. Because until I met someone I liked, I didn't even think about my boobs. I'm always wearing a shirt or a bra and nobody knows. Even if people could tell, I had no one to impress so I didnt care. Then I got a crush and being deformed is suddenly all I could think about. I know you guys say most men don't care, but what my crush might think about them is all I can think about. I never once considered surgery before I felt this way about someone.

this feels so unreal. ive been on this sub for so long and now i can finally say im getting my boobs done. ive wanted this for years. for the first time in my life im going to feel feminine i cant waitttttt. i can wear tube tops, i can go braless, i can wear ANY bra i want, i can wear bikinis, i can look in the mirror and not feel sad anymore. the thing im lowkey most excited for is bra shopping. buying any bra that looks cute and not having to worry or stress that it wont even fit correctly. its the little things that excite me that most people overlook or take for granted. so excited.

Most of the post-op pictures I have seen of tuberous breast surgery (lift and/or implant) have been mostly of white women. As scars tend to heal different with brown/black skin, I was wondering how the experience with scar healing has been with POC who have had surgery? :)

But i fear the scars would be too much for not enough of a big change

Nobody has ever seen my breasts except for my family. The thing is, there are times when I can tolerate them, and times when I absolutely hate them. Maybe in these last few months, I've managed to accept them a bit more. Anyway, recently I had a sleepover with a friend who has known me since I was 6. We have the kind of friendship where we can talk about literally anything without filters and with total trust.

​That night, I felt comfortable enough with her because the topic of breasts came up. She had told me before that she had a similar shape, so I felt even more confident showing her mine after she showed me hers, lol. It sounds weird, but who hasn't been overly comfortable with a close friend?

​Her breasts were round and perfect, nothing like mine. When I showed her, her face turned serious and weird, and she yelled, "YOU HAVE GIANT NIPPLES AND VERY TINY BOOBS, YOU'RE MISSING SO MUCH BREAST TISSUE!" "I'VE NEVER SEEN ANY SO FAR APART!" I felt a bit embarrassed and even regretted showing them, I don't know. She said it looked like I had already breastfed. And since I always tell her that I'm super insecure about having a romantic relationship with a man out of fear that he'll judge my breasts or be disgusted by them, she also said, "Now I understand your insecurity about showing yourself naked," but in a mocking tone, as if saying, "if my breasts looked like yours, I'd be insecure too." That's how I took it. Maybe I'm wrong and misinterpreted the situation, I want to believe so. Anyway, she was serious the whole time and didn't look at me like before, just as if I were a fucking weirdo. I texted her, and she’s been really distant/dry. I think I regret doing it. I keep thinking: if a friend who goes through the same thing thought that about my breasts, how would a man feel, when they completely have it in their heads that breasts should be naturally round?

​I just wanted to vent and see what you guys think. Do you think it was just my own insecurity and that's why I misinterpreted the situation? All I know is that I felt vulnerable, super ashamed, and embarrassed of myself. I thought I'd feel better, but I didn't.

​Having this insecurity is honestly so emotionally draining :(
