I thought that maybe it's just take me longer than most girls since I hadn't started puberty until I was 14 anyway. I also dealt with problems with anorexia through most of my teen years. I'd seen lots of people on the internet saying that anorexia could also be a cause of it and that they'd probably round out eventually.
Lots of people recommended massaging my breasts to make them grow. Lots of people told me to just be happy with who I am and that I probably don't look as strange as I think I do. But I still felt like no one actually understood what I meant. The onlyway I can make my boobs look normal is by wearing a tight-fitted padded bra, and even then I basically nothing. When I take my bra off, I feel horrible and so ugly.
I've considered getting breast implants for a few years now. I always knew that if I ever actually did it I'd wait until I was in my twenties. I always worried that breast implants wouldn't be able to change the shape though, and the shape was without a doubt my main concern. My boobs are very small (32 A), but I wouldn't get a boob job if I had round breasts.
I've seen things online about them being able to make boobs like mine look more normal and larger and even change the nipple. I'm really considering doing it now, but still don't know...
I'm engaged to an amazing man that has never complained about my breasts. Yet I still really want it done. He even makes me want to do it less because he loves me so much for what I am no matter how strange a part of me may look.
Mostly, I still REALLY want it done though...

I don't know what to do. I just feel so horrible with them sometimes.

I think that if it is really distressing you, then you should get it done.

But, and it's a big but. Get it done for the right reasons. Get it done for you, so that you feel better and more confident about yourself. Get it done so that you're more comfortable naked. Get it done because you want to be happier with your body. Get it done because there are so many other things you should be thinking about rather than obsessing over this.

Don't get it done because of what you think guys might think. Most of the time guys don't care if they're tubular, fake, small or large. Guys love breasts in any shape of form.

Lastly, do your research and get it done by someone that has lots of experience in these sorts of procedures. Good luck!

I'm 18 and not only do I have this deformity, but I also have hypoplasia in my other breast, meaning it failed to develop entirely. About two weeks ago, I met with a local surgeon who specializes in breast reconstruction. She told me about Tissue Expanders, which you might want to research. Essentially, what it is, is an implant with an injection port to inject salene as your skin expands to accommodate the growing breast. Now, maybe this is just exclusive to me, because I got hit with a double whammy in this case, but there are many more components involved than just inserting an implant. Don't forget nipple reconstruction. I don't want to crush your hopes but, and the surgeon will probably tell you this anyway, your breasts will never look perfectly normal. What you can do, is see if there is a specialized bra or mastectomy boutique and investigate the idea of a prosthetic. I have one and it's great. It's a good alternative to surgery. I also have tomophobia, which is a fear of surgeries.
Personally, I feel like this deformity is part of my character, and despite how much I hate it, and despite how often I look at myself and think "Jesus Christ. Who would want this?" I know that someday, someone will think I'm the most beautiful thing they've ever seen. I'm sure you'll find the same, regardless of your decision. Also, it makes a good test when dating. Don't you want someone who loves you for you?

Hey I am 18 and have tubular breasts I used to be really self conscious but now I'm not too bad. I used to hate them really detest them but there part of who I am there a part of me and any guy who can't get over the fact I have small tubular breasts isn't worth waiting for. I don't see them as a deformity its how I was supposed to be and to have a rare condition that isn't life threastning I can honestly say I am proud.

I have had them all my life I'm nt going to change them now, there is so much more pain and suffering going on and I don't want to sound awful or anything but they are just cosmetic.

Any guy hwho judges you on the size and shape of your breasts is so not worth your attention. Your 21 young and free enjoy life let matters sort themelves out.

I won't have surgery on mine I don't see the point but again it is your decision so put somethought into it and if you want to talk to me at any time just email me [email protected]

Hope this helps good luck xx

Hey I am 18 years old and I too have tubular breasts.

I found out I had the condition yesturday when watching embarressing bodies on c4 I then went onto the internet and did some research. Mine don't look as bad as the once on Google image but I know I have them as there is a big unnatural cleavege gap and the are long and tubular rather than round

In my opinion I don't want surgery, I say there part of me and if a guy don't like them then they are not worth my attention.

So far the lad I dated of a few month had no problem with them so yeah I was sef conscious about them and I thought I was not normal but now I'm happy with them there who I am and I'm used to them maybe later I might have a boob job but for now I'm happy... want anymore info just reply xx good luck

OK I went to the doctor today for the same problem. Guys do care about these things! I've always felt ashamed of my boobs for the way they look and the way I don't fit in my bras or bathing suit. The doctor I saw said women with tubular boobs are the perfect canidate for a breast augmentation. He also said only 10% of women have this problem. I was told that I will first have to have a breast lift, recover from it and then go back in for the implants and nipple reduction. May sound like a little much but can you really put a price on your confidence and self worth? For me personally it's the only option and I made my mind up when I was only 11 years old. So I hope you make a good decision and make yourself happy. Oh and by the way I'm only 20 so we're in the same age group. I'm also a mother and I'm going to do the silicone so it's more of a natural look.. so keep in mind that they can easily make them look natural and not make you look like a playmate.

I had Tubular Breast and yes I thought that by the time I turned 20 my breast would fill out and look somewhat normal to me, but that never happened. So at the age of 25 I decided to get breast implants because I felt very insecure about my breast, little did I know I had a Condition called "Tubular Breast" I was so relieved to find out that it was a condition and I was not crazy to think I had abnormal breast. I went ahead with the surgery and IT HAS BEEN THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER MADE. I didn't get surgery for a guy I had a boyfriend at the time who I am now engaged to. My breast are fabulous and my friends who didn't want me to get them done can't believe how great and natural they look (they want them now toooo:) I ended up getting a full C 450cc and I LOVE THEM! :) Good Luck! And remember if you're going to get surgery do it FOR YOU! Not for other people :)

Hi,

Don't listen to Yasres, he's an idiot. I am a stripper and have met more guys than he probably has, and often obviously my breasts are topic of conversation.

I have tubular breasts, not the most severe of cases, if I play with my nips for long enough or get cold they look almost normal, but I am very flat chested.

Before I started stripping I was 100% sure I wanted a boob job and that was how I was going to pay for it, 3/4 years later and I still haven't. In the 3/4 years of doing it I have had to chuck 2 glasses of wine over men being rude making comments about my boobs, but the other 100's/1000's men I have met have all said fair play for not getting a boob job and they find it attractive. They like girls who are confident, so if you really can't see your own beauty for YOURSELF then do it. But trust me do not do it for men to like them. It's all about you.

Stripping was how I found my confidence because it made me realise men love all different shapes and sizes. Okay yes some like them big but that is NOT most men. And to most it wouldn't matter about size.

But having tubular breasts I am most bothered about my shape, and have only just found out about tubular breasts actually being some sort of condition.

I think I will wait until after I have children until I have surgery. I love having small boobs, it suits me but I'd do anything to be able to change the shape without surgery!!

Your post is 2 years old so not sure if you will see this, would love to know if you got surgery though?

X

I think I have a fairly minor case of this. I had no idea it had a name I just thought they were kind of... pointy?

I don't like getting them out in daylight unless it is cold, 'nipple-on' makes them look way better!

Although I always thought I would love a boob-job, I think about how much money it would be and what else I could do/buy with that cash, and also I have a lot of sensation in my nips, I can't imagine losing it and I like to think guys find that more sexy than if I had great big numb boobs! Also I wouldn't like to have scars where people would be able to tell they were fake, defeats the object for me a bit.

What about filler injections? Anyone pondered this?

I am the same, when I'm cold my breasts look great and I don't care that they are small, I think if small boobs are good enough for super models then they're good enough for me, I actually like small ones anyway.

But it's just the darn shape and look of them when they are warm, which is unfortunate as obviously when making love you get HOT. So tits hang and so does my confidence, but have learned how to work with them, what angles look good and just to KEEP playing.

I told my partner about how I feel about my boobs and what they are (he doesn't like boob jobs) so needed to tell him that I'm thinking of getting one and why. He fully supports me even though he loves the way I am. All along when I was doing the pinching and massaging to keep them in shape when doing 'it', he thought I was playing with myself and found it erotic! So at least I covered it up well and didn't look insecure after all (I thought he would have guessed what I was doing? ). Aren't mens minds the funniest things haha.

Mandwhy I have never really heard of/looked into injections. I have a very wealthy friend who's father was a respected surgeon, and so even though retired is friends with other respectable surgeons, meaning I am lucky enough to have contact to a surgeon that will tell me 'dont' do it' if I don't need it or if it will make them worse. I've been warned by him that there are a lot of butchers out there who will do it either way just because they want the money. So in 3 months time when this surgeon is back from America I am getting a consultation!

My auntie has had a boob job and she says to anyone who wants one just do it. It has made her happier with herself.
