I've been reading a lot of stories on Real Self and have been contemplating sharing mine and have decided it is time. I was very hesitant to do so because of how sensitive I am about this topic. Up until recently, I have only told two people- my long term boyfriend and my mum.
I grew up always thinking "one day I will have normal shaped breasts like everyone else." I remember in the grade 10 locker room, with my best friend, having a conversation about just that. She said "Don't worry! I remember mine being like that, but I grew into them and they rounded out, your's will too." But that day never came.
That same year, a girl in my class had an all girls pool party. I was nervous going because no bikini ever fit me or flattered my chest. One girl said in front of everyone, "Oh wow! I thought you had normal breasts like the rest of us, I guess you must wear big push up bra's."
That was a very low moment for me. All of my inside securities had now been made public for everyone to see.
I remember going home and looking online at breast shapes and sized and came across a chart which displayed a graph, comparing them all. I knew at that moment that I had a breast deformity- tuberous breasts. This, I came to learn can only be corrected with surgery.
I began to feel awful about myself and my level of self confidence fell, knowing I would be this way forever. I have never been comfortable in my own skin but I now had a known reason for all of this. Bra's do not fit me comfortably, there is a lot of empty space in the cups and it sticks out. I do not allow my boyfriend to go even near my breasts, let alone see me bare chested. This takes a toll on our intimacy and relationship.
I think about them all day, how uncomfortable I am and how insecure I feel.
I had a consultation in order to inquire about breast augmentation, in attempts to fix my problem. After my visit with Dr Sheina Macadam, she advised me it is a bigger procedure than I had originally anticipated. I am not able to have implants placed, and my breast be round. I need to have a breast lift, fat transfer from my thighs/stomach, which is then injected into my breast where I have a lack of breast tissue, implants, nipple resizing as well as the bands which have restricted the breast, to be cut away. The total length of my procedure is 4.5 hours and will cost me just shy of $17,000.
This was a very big, serious decision for me to make, financially and medically. I have never had any form of a major surgery before. The longest I have been under anesthesia for was 15 minutes for wisdom tooth extraction.
I want to be clear, that when I made my decision and I decided to do this, was to make me happy- nobody else.
A year went by, after saving and planning, I now have scheduled surgery date for November 4, 2017. Words cannot express how happy and excited I am for this. Something I have wanted for SO long is finally happening.
I am going for a pre op. consultation on the 4th of October, which was recommended as I had last seen Dr Macadam a year ago.
I will be posting more as I go through this journey. Pictures to come as well :)

Thank you for sharing your story. And wishing you the best! Have you decided on what type and size implants you are getting? Any other details would be interesting to know. I look forward to hearing more… :-)

I highly recommend fat transfer rather then implants are they will be natural. Implants need removed every decade and that’s super costly.

Honest to God, if I didn't know it, I'd think these were photos of me. I am much heavier than you, judging by your photos, but have the EXACT issue. I never knew that this even had a name... I've always just been extremely unhappy and disappointed in them. I am one of few 'plus-size' women who doesn't have a large chest, so aside from the lack of size, the shape also drives me nuts. My nipples and areola are very large so for me, they look so strange with the shape of my breasts. Thanks for stepping out of your comfort zone to post this. Good luck!

Hej
Take a look at my review
My before pictures are not on here because mine looked worseee than yours and I still feel ashamed but I had a similar shape my areolas were jus puffier and the Seite differente was bigger and I was overall a bit bigger
But my doctor worked a miracle and they do not resemble Tuberous breasts anymore at all
I am truly happy with my new breasts and I hope you will have the same experience <3

And I did not have implants or fat transfer even tho several doctors told me I’d need them
I stuck to the doctor who said “there’s enough there I form a breast” he reduced the larger one, lifted both, fixed the constructed part and sew the breast tissue to my chest muscle to reinsure the lasting results it took about 3.5h
Be sure that your doctor of choice has experience with tubular breasts because they need someone who knows what they are up against or you will end up with tubular breasts just bigger and scared
Much love and luck from a fellow ex tubular Gurl

Pre-op Consultation
Tamalam2October 6, 2017
I had my consultation on October 4th with the amazing Dr Macadam. She answered all of my questions in a lot of detail which helped me put my mind at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and I have full trust in her expertise.
My specs-
25 years old
5' 5" tall
160 pounds
36 B bra
I am goal is to be around a large C/ D cup size. She has ordered implants raging from 350CC all the way up to 415CC in Natrelle inspria round gel (silicone- fullest round).
She will be performing a Periareolar Incision on each breast while decreasing the areola sizes, while lifting the nipples to a higher location. In the OR, she is going to fit me with the size she feels will be at the least amount of risk of the nipple herniating back out due to the pressure from the implants behind the skin.
The liposuction for fat transfer, she will be taking the fat from my outer thighs which will then be injected into my breasts where the implants will not be able to completely fill out my breasts. She will also be cutting out all the vertical, restrictive bands in both breasts to release the constrictive tissues to assist with giving my breasts a round, non-tuberous shape.
