Pictures of not normal breasts

On this gallery page we feature breasts that we cannot call "normal" for some reason. They may look quite normal, or they may have been natural breasts in the past, but at the moment are not perfectly natural or normal.

One reason is that the breasts have undergone surgery (either breast reduction, breast augmentation, implant surgeries, corrective surgeries, etc.).

Another reason is some medical condition. These would include breast hyperplasia (macromastia or gigantomastia), hypoplastic breasts, severe asymmetries (small asymmetries are quite normal and common), and congenital defects.

I want to note that MOST women who THINK their breasts are abnormal actually have quite normal breasts. We have many many pages of photos of normal breasts, and you might very well find a pair similar to yours on those pages.

Then again, some women may feel theirs are normal, whereas perhaps a medical professional would consider them to be a case of macromastia (large breasts). It is hard to draw an exact line of what would be considered normal and what not when it comes to large breasts. We also have to consider that in today's world, there are chemicals in our environment that can mimic estrogen (so-called endocrine disruptors), and those can affect women's breasts to grow larger than they would in normal conditions.

These children will naturally learn the purpose of breasts as being for feeding the baby.

"I'm 23 years old. I've had five cosmetic surgeries. The first three followed my 16th birthday to "correct" a significant breast asymmetry, the fourth to replace an implant with capsule contractor and the fifth for scar revision. While I regret jumping into plastic surgery at such a young age I'm very content with them now, despite their scarring and slight asymmetry, and lovingly refer to them as my "raggedy ann boobs."

This is possibly a woman with macromastia... however she is not suffering any pain. One breast is 13 lb, the other 10 lb.
"I am 38 years old ... and I wear 42 K bra size ... I am not really obese but slightly overweight due to my Italian side. My grand-mother have huge breasts like me ... I measure 52 / 38 / 43 and 5 ft. 7 inches. I don't have any problem with my huge breasts, only the look of the people ... Big eyes all the time ... My breasts started to grow at 13 years old but after I have been pregnant they became really huge to 38 D to 42 K I never breastfeed because during and after birth , I had a pre-eclampsia ( high blood pressure!) but my breasts as always inflated during 4 to 9 months before ... and after my breast stayed huge ... 42 inches before pregnancy and 52 inches after ... and when my period my breast grows to 54 inches ... but always no pain ... embarrassing during sport only. Everybody talks to me to have breast reduction ... I have no back or neck pain .... I am very confortable with my breast ... it's difficult to find clothes but in my private life with my husband it's really great ... accept your body and live longer and better ... be proud of your difference!"	"Hi I'm 31 yrs old, I am 128 lbs and have been since high school. I have two children and never breast fed. I had a breast enlargement from a 34b to a 34d 5 years ago. Having my first child made my breasts droop, they had an empty appearance, I found them unbearable to look at and felt I had the boobs of a 90yr old at 24. My breast surgery was a success but although I love them in bras and under clothing I hate the way they feel, kinda like shrivelled bags inside, they have ridges all round them. I think if I'm honest I wish I had never had the surgery done because I never considered the maintenance, they only last 10 yrs and the thought of going through the op again makes me shudder. This website is fantastic and someone should do something about the false images women, especially young woman, are subjected to daily. It makes you feel rubbish. Many Thanks"


"I am hispanic, 34 yrs old. I have had five children, tried to breastfeed 3 of them, but it only lasted a few days each. I have also had two breast surgeries. My main problem, since puberty, has been with my areolas and nipples. They would not become erect like "normal" and the areola would just bunch up. To me they looked like a little mound of mud on my breast. I had small 34 b/c breasts before children, while pregnant they were 36 d. Afterward they shriveled up into A cups and suddenly my already ugly nipples began to invert. I was 20 when I had my 1st child and this happened almost immediately after her birth. I wanted to die. After the birth of my 2nd child (actually 10 months after) I went to a plastic surgeon for the problem and he said that breast implants would correct the inverted problem and help with the "deflated" look as well. I was NEVER one to get plastic surgery, but I felt horrible. The implants did give my breasts a great new shape, made me in proprtion and help the inversion of the nipples. But I still had the "mound of mud" issues. Fast forward about nine years! I went back to that same plastic surgeon for what I thought would be the classic nipple surgery where they cut some thing that was holding your nipple back from becoming erect and everything is wonderful. Well not my luck, instead I feel worse. I have less nipple to work with and although he said he cut out a doughnut shape of areola it looks worse. Maybe a smaller pile of mud now. I used to be able to pull my nipple and now I can't so much. I went from having a little sensitivity in my nips to none, but I sure do feel pain! He also said I was missing the parts inside the nipple that make them become erect. About a month after the surgery I went and had my nipples pierced (after much research) that way scar tissue could form underneath and help build them up. The doc said that was the best idea and I probably should have done that before. THNX! I'm still paying his bill! But because my nips don't extend off my breast, they caused me problems and I took them out only to find additional scars. I have very brown nipples and areolas as you can see. Well, now I have big white lines going thru them :( I also have ugly stretch marks on my breasts. I am grateful to this site for REALLY educating women and men on what REAL breasts look like. But I still feel bad because I still feel alone. And although I am married and my husband says he doesn't have an issue with it, I DO! I know men would rather have something a little closer to normal. I've worked in a nursing home and saw what real breasts look like, albeit very old breasts LOL but no one was as ugly as me. And I didn't see anyone on this site who had nipple problems like me. When I was single I felt like I'm not worth it for any man, like they deserve better than my ugly nipples! I know that sounds bad, but I feel really ugly, esp. now :( "


"I am 43 now (39 at the time of my procedure). My breasts were a UK size 34H. I had a reduction surgery at the end of 2005 and had approx 700 g removed from each breast. The second picture is 7 weeks after the procedure. I suffered no nipple loss - although I am still numb on both breasts on the lower outer quarter of each. I have increased nipple sensitivity. One of my main problems was the scarring. I am mixed race - black canadian/caucasian - and we often suffer darkly pigmented scarring. This has faded by now - 3 years later - but still has a little way to go. My main concern was scarring around the nipple and down the front of the breast, but these scars were invisible within a very short space of time (within a year). My cup size now is approximately 38D. Taking all things into consideration, I am glad I had the procedure. The scarring is a small price to pay for the comfort I now have. I have never been pregnant and up until the age of 30, my breasts were average size - 36C. I took the pill from the age of 16 until my early 30's. In these pictures, I am about 20lbs overweight for my 6ft frame and was not athletic although quite densely muscled for a woman."


These small breasts are widely spaced, have a 'tubular' or tuberous shape, and are narrow at the chest wall. There is a chance that they are so-called hypoplastic (under-developed) breasts, which means the breasts do not have enough glandular (milk-making) tissue. Women with hypoplastic breasts usually have milk supply problems and need to supplement the baby's diet with formula. This condition cannot be diagnosed 100% until the woman has actually tried to breastfeed and it is verified she does not make enough milk. However, these breasts do fit the characteristics otherwise (tubular shape, small, and a large gap between them at the chest wall).	" I am 19 years old, 5'8" tall, and weigh 140 pounds. I was always incredibly active and even joined the military, where I blew out several ligaments in my knee. I wasn't allowed to be active for around 4 months and still have trouble with strenuous activity. During that time I went from around 115 pounds to 140 pounds. At the time, I was a 32A (American sizing) with inverted nipples, and I stayed that way. Several months after I was married, we saved up the money and I had breast implantation surgery and got 375cc saline implants and am now a 32D/DD bra size. Surgery was very painful, and I now have stretch marks and scarring. I personally am fine with having my scars and stretch marks, but some may not be and may not want to go through the pain and other side effects of having surgery."


"I am 60 year old male breast cancer survivor (10 years). I have always had large breasts. I have had yearly mammograms since age 40. In fact, that is how the cancer DCIS was found, saved my life. I had lumpectomy on my right breast [see the scar in the photo on the right]. As I have gotten older they have become larger and sag, I now wear a bra. you have a wonderful web site. I am sure it has helped many people. I weigh 185 lbs, 5-11 tall."
