Are my breasts tubular or am I just still developing? (photos)

K
k1225Mar 28, 2020

Hi, I just turned 18 and I'm really insecure about my breasts. I'm a 34B and my right breast is a lot bigger than my left. I have fatty tissue below my breast fold, which makes me wonder if that's where I'll fill out. My areolas are quite soft and puffy unless I get cold and they get erect. My friends keep telling me everyone goes through a stage as teens where their nipples are puffy, and my mom said I'm a late bloomer, but I still get worried. Will they stay this way forever??
