I am 28 years old and have asymmetric tuberous breasts. Like many women posting here, I hated the way they looked and hid them behind padded bras. I'll never forget the time in my early twenties when I was making out with this guy and we progressed to my least favorite part: taking off my top. I remember him staring for a second at my bare chest, then he got up and put his clothes back on in the bathroom. I realize now he was just a superficial prick, but at the time I was ashamed and humiliated at his reaction to my breast shape. I decided to take action. No, it wasn't getting surgery, like I'd fantasized about for years. I decided to take up nude modeling. The art class at the local University offered $15 an hour for models. As a dancer, I knew I could get into somewhat difficult poses, and in my experience, challenging myself by doing something I didn't want to do made me more confident in the long run. At first it was gruesome being surrounded by all of my peers, showing off the most hated part of my body in full light. But the obligation to do a good job, and the repetition eventually made me comfortable with the whole thing. Six years later I'm happily married and still modeling nude, but just recently I started getting really self-conscious about my breasts again. I confided in another woman who said, "If they bother you so much, why don't you put the money together and get surgery? You'll feel so much better about yourself." Of course that made it worse. I started investigating fat grafting enhancement, staring at before and after surgical pictures, etc. My husband hates the idea and says he loves my breasts. He says they have two different personalities... the puffy one and the big one. They're extra-sensitive too, which I'm worried might change if I got surgery done. Although I have my doubts and low spells with my funny boobs, it's good to know that I'm not alone and it's been especially compelling to read others' stories. You know what? We're all just skin tubes. Some people got lucky with socially acceptable tubes, but we're just another variation. Thanks for the mammaries!
