Hello, I'm in my early twenties and I am desperate for some advice.
I always had a very modest bust line growing up, and being into sports and slightly androgynous dress styles, I prefer it that way. I don't know what size I was as a teen, I could never find a bra that fit properly because I have a wide ribcage, broad shoulders, and uneven breast sizes. I wore sports bras for most of my teen years.
I rapidly gained about 100 pounds from thyroid problems. I have lost all of the weight at this point, but I am in bad shape and very flabby with a lot of stretch marks and some mild loose skin. As you can imagine, my breasts did not fare well from this. I don't feel comfortable posting a picture, so I'll do my best to describe them. They're very saggy and empty looking, despite having been so small to begin with. They feel like there's just not enough breast tissue for the skin. If I lift them up from the bottom, they form an L rather than lifting into a round shape. Like bending a pancake in half. When I bend over, the skin pools to the center of each breast, and they hang very thin and long. They're also extremely lopsided, as the larger one sagged to a much larger degree than the smaller one. They aren't even the same shape, they look like they belong to two different people.
I imagine some of it will firm up as I tone my body, but I am really desperate to actually lift them as I want to be able to go braless without having a two inch height difference in my nipples! I just want actual round boobs again, I feel extremely uncomfortable in my body the way it is. I would also love to even out the size difference a bit, although that's definitely not my biggest concern. I'm not really sure how to do that either, seeing as how both of them are deflated and need some help.
Due to my health issues, I really can't take any kind of supplement or herb that affects hormones. I've swapped out my sports bras for camisoles since reading a recent study about bras contributing to sagging, and I've started massaging every day, but that's the extent of what I've done. I started about two weeks ago. I was hoping someone else had some advice or success story to share, I'm not feeling very optimistic!
Thank you!
