I am 44 years old and a recent widow. I have 2 wonderful children, ages 15 & 12. After doing research on the internet I am convinced that I have at least one Tuberous breast. Explanation: The breasts are not round, but narrow from the top to bottom resembling a tube shape. The skin is tight, especially below the nipple area. Often, the areolae are puffy and protrude making the breasts look abnormal.This has troubled me for many, many years, even my husband made fun of me many times. I need surgery to correct this deformity. My husband was an alcoholic, which has caused us financial hardship, but I feel that after years of neglecting myself, I am now in need of the slow process of building back my self-esteem. It has become a reality to me, that if I don’t take the steps to try and correct this problem, I may never have the ability to feel comfortable with myself, or with anybody else for that matter. I am scared that I may be living the rest of my life alone because I feel so ashamed of myself.Almost all of the plastic surgery stories that I seem to hear about out there are of women who all look fine to me, if only they had to live with such an abnormality. Is there anybody else out there that has to live with this everyday of their life and feels as alone as I do?
