my friend has tuberous breasts and she is so insecure about them and i feel bad. She gets so depressed when we go shopping because she cant buy just anything. She has just this ONE bra that she found like 6 or 7 years ago that has just the right padding and claims she cant find another one like it. She has been with her hubby for 7 years and they gave 2 kids and she says he always says he doesnt care and he loves her how she is (shes got a bootie and great legs to make up for it)
Shes doubtful there are insurance companies that will cover it. technically, isnt it a deformity that would require reconstructive surgery. She is 25.

Tuberous breasts are very unhealthy. If she was born with them naturally and through puberty they naturally grew tuberous then that isn't right. However, if she delivered kids and then her breasts became tuberous then that might be ok. She should be checked out by a doctor.
Tuberous (or tubular) breasts are breasts that are a bit like a sausage stuck on to the chest wall by one of the narrow ends. In other words they're tube-shaped and the attachment area is small.
Apart from the fact that it's virtually impossible to get bras to fit them, they look OK but tend not to work very well and produce very little milk.
Just one of the normal variations of life -- nothing to get too depressed about.
Before you asked this question, you should have explained what tuberous breasts are. I have no idea what they are. Would someone PLEASE explain what tuberous breasts are. If someone would explain what tuberous breasts are, i am quite sure that someone would give some helpful advice. As long as her husband doesn't mind, she should learn to accept the problem and learn to adjust.it shouldn't be a problem. If she is having a problem finding a suitable bra, she should be able to have one special made.
