Do I have tuberous breasts? (Photo)

July 3, 2015
Asked By:nialuweirdo in California, CA

I am 20 years old and my breasts have been this way since I started puberty. They stopped developing at the age of 14. I hate the way they look and it really affects my self confidence. I have never been capable of intimacy with anyone without a bra on. Will they fill out as I get older, or would surgery be the only option? How would surgery work? I don't really want to increase their size too much, just get a more "normal", fuller/rounded shape, not have them be as pointy and puffy.
