Points: 488.59 Bank: 0.00 Total Points: 488.59 |  Hypoplastic Breasts?
After thoroughly researching PCOS, since I was recently diagnosed with it, I figured out I have breast hypoplasia. Unfortunately, all the research I've done points to getting plastic surgery—which, in all senses, I don't have a problem getting. It's just that I'm not financially capable of getting it right now.
I was wondering, since I'm being put on birth control after my high blood pressure is regulated, if it's just plastic surgery that helps, or if some kind of hormonal treatment has proven to fix the look and shape of hypoplastic breasts? I'm not trying to get pornstar breasts or anything, I just want relatively normal looking breasts. )= Anyone else have this problem?
Or, if plastic surgery IS the only solution, has anyone had success in getting it covered by their insurance? (I know it'll make it even harder to breastfeed, but at eighteen years old, I'm already almost certain I plan to adopt.) |

Before you decide to go to surgery, just see what the bcps do to your breasts. I never had much in the way of breasts until I took bcps! | |

All right. =) Hopefully BCP does something for me because plastic surgery is definitely a last-resort kinda thing despite my concerns.
I do have breasts, though, despite their shape. I'm a B, but they just don't /look/ right. And they look a lot like the images I've seen of hypoplastic breasts.

I think PCOS and this problem are related. I started a poll on this a while back. Do you have hypoplastic breasts (tubular breasts)?

I think it's already been classified as a related symptom. Articles that I've read have indicated a correlation. Thanks for the link, though.

I'm pretty sure I have breast hypoplasia, every so often someone notices and it gets me down. I'm like size 44DD but the right side is more like a D than DD. I'm about to start Yaz and a spiro so maybe they'll even. I had no idea the possibility of BF was at risk! I don't know if I'll every TTC but I thought since my breasts were large that was a given, geez, now I know better. Oh and I hate the way they look too :-( | |

I agree with the BCP... When I started BCP I was a B cup.. if that my whole life.. As of last month I was a 38 D.. and had been since coming off of BC...

I have some degree of breast hypoplasia...not so extreme that my breasts are really weird looking, but I still was not able to breastfeed because of it. | |
