Age 30, former anorexic, 32D bra. Are my breasts tubular--what options do I have to achieve more normal looking breasts? (photo)

April 5, 2013
Asked By:Tootsie23 in California, CA

I began puberty at about 11yo but became anorexic and was significantly underweight (hospitalized, etc) from 13-20. I am now 30, of a normal, healthy weight, but my breasts have never become a "normal" shape. I wear a 32D bra, do not want my breasts any bigger (smaller would be fine), and am wondering a) if I have tubular breasts, b) if it could have been caused by the anorexia, c) what are my options for achieving more normal looking breasts.
