As a person with tuberous breasts, it is refreshing to read an article like this. Despite not wanting to have surgery, I have felt embarassed about my chest for the last 10 years and so will undergo surgery in a few months. Similar to the subject in the article, I have never felt comfortable taking off my bra while having sex or in any sort of public setting like the local pool change rooms. None of my partners in the past have ever commented, but I personally feel very uncomfortable and am always apprehensive before I expose my chest. My bras do not fit properly and neither do a lot of outfits.
I also find it interesting that those against breast augmentation are often those who do not have tuberous breasts or a severe case. i.e. Anonymous above says "nothing hangs" and "to look good they require maintenance". At 25 years of age, one of mine does in fact hang and always has hung despite trying to 'solve' the issue with lots of moisturiser, exercise and massage over the last 10 years. Both are of unequal size, one nipple is much larger than the other, one hangs and one has stretch marks while the other doesn't.
I think what we all need to remember here is each case of tuberous breasts is very personal thus a woman's choice to get surgery should not be at the judgment or comment of others. If you're happy with your appearance than that is truly fantastic. However, please do not make other women feel bad or guilty for trying to get to the same "mental" space you are with a bit of assistance with surgery.
