Is there anything I can do about my underdeveloped breasts? (Photo)

I am 26 have 2 children and still have the same chest size as when I was 12. I have not developed at all. Puts a massive strain on my everyday life and also my children's. I cannot find any pictures online of women with such underdevelopment as I have. I don't feel like a woman at all. My breasts didn't grow during either pregnancy. I can't even watch TV if a woman comes on (including cartoons) I feel disgusting.

Hello and thanks for your post. You had very large breast implants (500 cc). I notice more pain and soreness with bigger breast implants. I would recommend you call your PS and see what they recommend, but it seems reasonable to me for you to me more comfortable. Best, Dr. ALDO.

The job of the plastic surgeon is to make you happy with your choice of breast implant size. 1000 mL implants are quite large and would need to be custom-made. Nevertheless there are sizing systems that will give you an idea of what to expect with this type of implant.
