I'm currently 19 years old. At 15 I discovered my first fibroadenoma, I had my first one removed at 16. I forget the actual size but it was somewhere over 4 cm. Senior year of high school I had my second one removed by a different doctor (mistake). I have a large scar around my left nipple and my right nipple no longer becomes erect.
