Hello,
I am 28 and i have tuberous hypoplastic breasts. This article is very interesting, especially as there are so many view points. We can only make a decision for ourselves as to whether tuberous breasts should be 'fixed', and there is no right or wrong answer, as everyone will feel differently.
It makes me feel great to read comments from women that are content with there tuberous breasts. I guess i am somewhere in the middle of the scale where by i have lived my life with them so far, i have kind of got used to them and perhaps even accepted them. They are after all part of me and it makes me who i am!
However, nobody knows that they are tuberous. I have never told boyfriends and i have always kept my bra on during sex. When i think of this and the impact it has had on my life, it does make me upset.
About a year ago i decided to go to the doctors about it. I cannot begin to explain how nervous i was, that i was going to show somebody by breasts for the first time, at 27. I explained to the doctor that i have tubular hypoplastic breasts. To be honest i think she was a bit shocked that i hadn't come to the doctors sooner about it and i could tell that she felt sorry for me, but tried to hide it. This didn't make me feel good. She said that they would be able to be corrected on the NHS and referred me to hospital.
I attended my hospital appointment and again got the same reaction from the specialist who said they were grade 3, and he would of course be happy to do the surgery to change the shape. He also said that i would need expanders. I was happy with the information that he provided me but i said that i would think about it and come back if i decided to go ahead.
I have not been back as i have been unsure if i should go ahead. I would love to change the shape of my breasts as i am not happy with them, i am more unsure of the actual procedure and the surgery itself. I always believe that 'if it's not broken, don't fix it', but is it broken.. i don't know? Should i be messing around with my body in this way?
I would be really interested in hearing from people that have had the procedure, and hearing your stories.
