Tuberous Breast Causing Low Self-Esteem

Tuberous breasts means the breasts are shaped like a potato, all the breasts tissue is underneath the nipple instead of being spred out across the chest wall itself.

Tuberous Breasts, Low Self Esteem. I Dont Know What to Do?

As you can imagine, it is not not as common to do these procedures on someone your age, but it is not unheard of.
