r/tuberousbreast

I’m so conflicted. Tuberous or underdeveloped?
Do my breasts look stereotypically tuberous? When I have puffy nipples (not cold) they look more tuberous. But when I’m cold they look normal. Could my period have something to do with this? I’m on my period and maybe my hormones make my nipples puffier?
Also, I wanted to understand if they weren’t fully developed. I’ve been looking into why my breasts are so small and oddly shaped and I came across pictures that show Tanner Stage 4 breasts and I feel they look quite like mine.
I had disordered eating during my entire teenage years (not eating enough, excessive exercise but never underweight due to muscle) and I feel like maybe I am still within stage 4? I was almost completely flat chested right up until about this year honestly, I’ve grown a cup in a year with little/no weight gain. I am 18 now so I understand I am not really fully developed, but I want to grow past this stage of my breasts because they look very unappealing and unconventional to me.
I want bigger boobs with a rounder shape. Do you believe that this shape is something I can grow out of? Is breast aug. my only chance to change the way they look now at my age?
going insane idk what to do
I just wanna say I know that my deformity is not affecting my physical health and there are probably a lot of other things I should be worrying about, but to me this is such a big deal.
Ever since the start of high school I kinda knew something was wrong with my breasts. And I don’t wanna get too deep into it that but I have had a lot of experiences where some people have commented about my breasts. so this insecurity has been building for a really long time.
Before I found this sub reddit it about a year ago I kind of thought I was in this alone, and it was genuinely destroying me. I have a high libido so growing up, I’ve had the urge to have a lot of sex, but for most of it, I felt uncomfortable ab my breasts, which led to me not being able to really enjoy any of my sexual experiences.
I would always keep my bra on or want to keep the light dark, even though I was proud of the rest of my body. I go to the gym and I try to be in a good shape, i take care of my self and how I look, i care about my future and my education, what i put in my body, but I can’t help but think that my boobs are the only thing “ruining” me. I know that’s probably so stupid to say, and there is a lot more to a person than just their boobs. But I feel so unfeminine and disgusting.
Due to finding out about this sub, I saw that a lot of people got correction surgery. But from my research it seems like a regular augmentation surgery could be about 7000 to maybe even 10,000 on the higher ends and for tuberous it’s 17,000 to 22,000. it’s just such a drastic difference as a uni student I just cannot afford. and it’s something I don’t think I could afford for a long time yet.
The big issue with that is that I see a lot of people getting the surgery done early and I’m already 21. This is supposed to be my fun years and although I do get male attention when it comes down to actually being in a relationship with someone long term, I just feel so unworthy. I devalue myself because of this stupid deformity. obviously I do have had experiences with good partners who don’t care about that part of me, but obviously they would prefer something much nicer looking.
I know it sounds so stupid, but I literally scroll before and after pictures on plastic surgeons website just dreaming about getting the surgery and it’s becoming kind of obsessive. I don’t really know what to do watching movies and nudity is triggering and it makes me seek out and want to look at other people’s boobs to constantly compare myself to them. It’s not even looking at them in a sexual way because I’m a straight female, but I just keep wanting to look at other people‘s breasts and just constantly see what looks like so I can compare myself to them.
especially now that summer is approaching, I go to the beach with my friends or we go to a place where there’s a lot of skin showing. I just get this tingling feeling on my insides and I just wanna scream and just hide. I don’t even know how else to explain it I just feel so gross and squirmy. it ruins my ability to enjoy any moment where there are any time other people’s boobs involved, and in a patriotic world that is very prevalent. I don’t know. I just feel like I’m getting triggered by everything and genuinely it would change so much about my life and I’m just wondering how people have been affording this.
And please don’t take this in a way where I’m begging for money, like I will earn my own money and pay for it myself I’m just saying for the meantime how are people been able to scrape up money at such a young age because I’m seeing a lot of younger people also get it. And I feel like it would either be insurance or parental support, but my parents would never approve of me getting such a surgery so I don’t even know what to do cause I can’t get help.
I don’t want to take a loan or do a payment plan because right now I don’t have a job that can pay for such a large amount of money and if I miss any payments, my credit score will go down.
I don’t know I’m just in this giant spiral where I just want to scream and rip my own boobs off and it sounds so crazy but I am going kind of insane from this insecurity.
thaks for reading and letting me vent. i just wish this wasn’t even considered a deformity and just normal i hate my stupid boobs so much i wanna just cry all day about them like why is it me why did i have to have this
Tuberous?
Are my breasts tuberous? They look really weird and I’ve been comparing them to tuberous ones.. are they just small and asymmetrical?
When “Love” Isn’t Always Enough, And When Self Love Is Crucial (Feedback On The Severity Also Welcome)!
When Love Isn’t Enough…
TLDR: started dating. He told me he loves breasts. Told him about my deformity. He told me love mattered most. Got married. Saw them. Changed his whole demeanor toward me and lost interest in a bond. :(
Yes, self love is key, but I wish I could be desired, honestly.
I understand I should have gone with my better judgment: don’t date a titty lover. Yet, what do you do when a man is a gentleman, not pushy, but genuinely seems interested, even after you educate him on your deformity? How would it have felt if I turned him down for liking breasts? After all, he continuously reassured me that no deformity or imperfection would chase his desire away. We are told, “love is enough with the right person,” we are also told, “confidence is key,” but what we aren’t told is enough is, “you never know until you try.”
He felt them and approved; TMI (too much info): he used to moan in delight when massaging them in the beginning. He also got harder during sex. Nowadays, he never gets hard enough to perform…
Ok, TMI-over. However, after I finally let him see them, the excitement on his face visibly diminished…I will never forget how disappointed he looked, the fake smile he tried to force before HE put my shirt back down for me…
The two year anniversary of this embarrassing night recently passed, and things have never returned to the elated, delightful love we shared before he saw my TBD. He once begged to take showers with me or see pictures. After seeing them, he’s made excuses when I ask if he wants to shower…he’s made excuses for his lack of response to intimate pictures. He’s made remarks like, “you still have a pretty face,” and, “I’m glad you found a nice guy like me to still love you regardless of those.”
Yet, I know it could be much worse. I know he could be really mean about my breasts. I’ve read hurtful stories on here from women whose husbands had hurtful nicknames for their tuberous breasts, so I am extremely grateful my husband hasn’t done that. It just hurts to have felt his excitement physically drain from him, because I wish he would have genuinely wanted a bond beyond my breasts, and I was open with him about them!!! I wish he would have made the decision to reject me before pursuing me as his wife.
If you read this, thank you very much. I don’t want to be negative, but I also want to prevent any of my fellow TBD sisters from this unnecessary heartache. I strongly advise against dating a man who openly tells you he’s a titty-lover—especially if you didn’t ask!!! Now, I’m stuck in a mental loop of constant reminders I’m not what my husband wants. I can’t go into public, watch shows, look at the internet, or even read books without my brain reminding me those women have breasts my husband would most likely approve of.
It’s a cruel reminder that there is something noticeably off about my breasts. I have been rejected for my breasts in the past—I even had a man on Craigslist (USA) ghost me when I answered his ad offering a free room to a woman willing to walk around in lingerie. Yes, it was a low moment in my life to even consider rooming with a stranger, but my emphasis is on the fact even a craigslist creep ignored me after seeing these things!!! Are they truly that awful looking? I’m open to feedback.
Anyway, TBD sisters, I know self-love is key, so I have been fighting really hard to spend more intimate time alone with my breasts. I am trying very hard to learn to love them…(while I save up money for surgery and recovery!) I hope this long-winded post will help some of you go into the dating world with extreme caution, because you cannot plant flowers in barren soil. In other words, love might not be enough if the man is genuinely and carnally aroused by breasts. I don’t want any of you stuck in this mental loop.
4 months post-op
Constricted/tuberous breast correction. 255 low profile, silicone, dual plane. Also had a peri-areola lift to address the puffiness at the nipple.
Slight double bubble on my left breast that we are monitoring, but my doctor warned me pre-op that this could possibly happen due to my starting point. Some stitches poked through on my right nipple and I will likely do nipple tightening down the line.
Truly life changing surgery. Went from barely filling an A cup to 30DD.
tuberous?
tbh just hate how wide-set they are, but when I lift my hands straight above my head they get a nice lift and i don’t mind the shape then. i do want a lift when able to but cant identify whether or not they’re tuberous or just sag
Sex and relationships
Hello! I am a young girl and have had sexual encounters with two people ever. I had never wanted to take off my shirt because i hate the sight pf my breasts and I am extremely insecure of them. However I am far too young and broke to afford surgery any time soon, however I don't want this to stop me from enjoying sex and relationships with men. Recently I started seeing this guy and I know we will probably have intercourse soon. I have a question. I want to actually enjoy sex and not worry about how my breasts look the whole time. But I have no idea how to approach the situation. Is it better to have a talk with him first and warn him, because I am very aware how abnormal my breasts look and I know how important they are to men? Or do I just don't say anything to not make it awkward and just go with the flow? How is best to even approach this and be comfortable during intimacy?
Do I have Tuberous Breasts?
Got into a relationship recently but am insecure about my breasts...do yall I have tuberous? also I've been trying to find out what is wrong with my left nipple (seen best in last photo) but have literally found nothing so if yall have any ideas please share them! Thank you
Be honest are these tuberous? Any advice?
Hi I really need some advice if these are tuberous. I'm really insecure about and need advice on what my problem is and why my breasts look this way and how to stop hating them so much. 😭
Tuberous breast?
Been very insecure about it tbh. I always slip away from intimacy because of this.... 💔
Always been envious of women with round breast....
The way this sub treats the lare they tuberous” posts…
I don’t understand why in this subreddit if someone has a clear and sometimes even severe degree of TBD they comment “no girl they’re normal/mild” while if someone has normal/ extremely mildly tuberous breasts the comments are “yeah they’re tuberous type 2/3” like? Why are we lying. I just wanna understand this
help
i am a 15 almost 16 year old girl and my breasts have never looked quite right. i was always very educated on what happens to a women’s body when she goes through puberty and i will say i did start puberty later, but things just weren’t happening right. i was flat all the way through my first year and a half of high school with the only part of my breast protruding being my nipple. i wasn’t aware that girls breasts usually grew in round so i blamed this on having a pretty bad eating disorder from 13 until midway through 14. (i should add that i was overweight as a child and then throughout this period got underweight) in the last year i have gained back 20 kilos, i am now at a healthy weight whilst still being slim. i restored my period and in the past 4 months have noticed some more fat on my breasts. unlike a lot of people who have tuberous breasts they are still wide and round, obviously in the earlier stages of growth but the ‘base’ looks normal. when my nipples are constructed they look like normal breasts, plenty of room for underboob, but when my nipples are puffy, or almost bulbous looking it covers my breast fold. my breasts aren’t big, still an a cup but after i get out of the shower they are almost man boob like. my left breast has grown ever since slightly faster then my right and has a bit more fat around the top section and it already looks a bit better then my left, i really just hope that as i grow my breast drop and start to round out more. i hate the idea of surgery and would never get implants, but the idea of paying 15k+ on a fat transfer/nipple reduction seems so unobtainable. i would consider myself otherwise attractive making this worse because i am so fixated on it. it is winter where i live so most the time i don’t mind my boobs, in fact sometimes i look at them and wonder why i ever worried about them, but other times i spiral and hate them. i just wanted to know how other people got through this, did your boobs round out/drop at all?
Thinking of just getting surgery atp
I feel so awful and insecure about them, I’m 18f 270 pounds 5’11..
Like it don’t even help that I’m plus size, when people get with plus size women they expect them to have bigger breasts but not only are mine flat, they’re SO uneven and tuberous and saggy. I feel like I’m deformed. You know what’s crazy. My ASS cheeks are uneven as well.
I just don’t understand why they’re like this. I remember my mom took me to the doctor when I was 14, this old dude had been like I guess massaging/feeling on my breasts I guess to find a cancer thing but there was nothing. None of my other family members have this problem.
I’m now constantly maybe fat grafting but I’m not even sure how I’m going to get the money to get that done, and my insurance sucks so I’m also not sure if it’s even be covered.
What do you guys think I should do..or what’s your take in general?
Hey, do you think I have tuberous breast ?
Im 28
Thank you 🫶🏻
Was asked to repost
They were too cold and changed shape so heres them not cold, tuberous or nah? Idrk
Are these tuberous?
I need help because I don’t know if my breast are tuberous or not. Sometimes they look great and other times I hate them cause of my big areolas and the weird shape they get when they’re not cold
Is it that bad?
I hate that I don't look normal. It's the worst feeling, you were robbed of the affection every normal girl gets and you just get treated like shit and a lantern. that's my fate I suppose but I'm going to change it no matter what and as soon as possible
I did not want to share actual pictures, so I have an outline of front/side view
Are these tuberous?
First pic is 2 years postpartum after first baby. They went completely back to normal after breastfeeding.
Second-fourth pics are 2 weeks postpartum after second baby. Still dark and large but my areolas will shrink and lighten again (they did after my first)
Just curious if they’re actually tuberous if they’re only like this while pregnant and breastfeeding?
