How do I stop feeling self conscious about my chest size?

A female Singapore age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hi all, I'm feeling a little self conscious about my chest size. I'm an A75/34AA, which is pretty flat. I always thought they'd grow a cup bigger but sadly that has been my bra size since I was 13. My boyfriend doesn't mind my chest size, but I still do and I even considered breast augmentation in a couple of years when I start working. People have always told me I have a nice figure, but I still feel self conscious. I want to stop feeling this way. Please help!

If your really keen on surgery and think it will help you feel better then it's entirely up to you. Just remember though if part of it is also about attracting a guy then believe me there are plenty of guys who don't care about breast size. If it's because you are comparing yourself to what you think is "normal" I'd still consider it thoroughly before going through with it. Just a guys opinion.

oh honey that is a quite common problem, you'll find that women are often more critical of themselves than others.

It sounds like a stupid kiddy solution but birth control pills often increase breast sizes in most women with smaller breasts, if you're already taking them, ask your doctor for estrogen? For people with smaller boobs you'll be bound to notice the difference. My final solution is to gain weight...

I'm just guessing that you're not on the chubby size of a "nice figure" boobs are often made of mammory glands and fat! The only reason I have large breasts is because I'm overweight, but they were the same when I lost the weight (yes, sadly I put it back on).

Also it sounds like nobody minds as much about it as you do, maybe inner peace of some sort will help you get your mind off it. Best wishes for your self confidence :) remember not as many people will care about it as you

I saw a documentary recently and the reality was that many of the womem were just as unhappy about their new brest size because it actually doesnt change how you feel. Dont be suckered into the media, marketing hype about big brests. Dress to suit your shape and be happy with yourself. My wife was your size and she looked great the first time i saw her and now many years and several children later she has great looking brests. If she had started with 36c they certainly wouldnt look so good now. You need to realise that it is you, the person inside the body, that is important. And yes, most guys you want to meet wont really want fake boobs!

Let me tell you, breast size isn't as big a deal as women feel it is. There are some men who wouldn't date you because your breasts are too small, just like you may not date a guy because he has a beard or whatever. That doesn't mean there is something wrong with you. Even if a guy prefers larger breasts that doesn't mean he doesn't like yours.

That being said I don't think that there is much anyone can say about it so it's totally understandable that you're interested in getting a boob job. Just don't go overboard! Seriously, if there is one thing that will turn men off (waaaay more than small breasts) its having a pair of softball looking fake ones.

eyeswideopen agony auntI recommend you wait until after you've had a kid or two. I was on the smaller side then after kids it was a totally different story. A nice surprise.

I don't personally think it's anything to be embarrassed about, and if everyone is telling you that you have a nice figure when you aren't asking then they probably mean it and aren't just trying to flatter you.

Breasts can actually continue growing well past puberty and they can also grow and shrink with weight changes and also if you ever have children then that will make them grow as well. Things change so don't feel like they'll necessarily stay flat for the rest of your life by any means. It doesn't sound like there is much of a problem anyway since your boyfriend seems happy with you.

So_Very_Confused agony auntI have a friend who had it done at your age. she's nearly 52 now and when my hubby met her a few months back the only thing he said about her was "clearly her boobs are fake"

however she loves them, her hubby obviously married her with them and they did wonders for her.

Personally I was very large breasted. I lost a lot of weight and had a breast lift.... I did not want implants and the doctor said I could have them later. I love smaller perky don't need to wear a bra breasts.

But you need to do what makes you happy.

A female reader, AuntyEm United Kingdom +, writes (8 January 2013):

AuntyEm agony auntI don't think you are seeking approval from others about your breast size, it's very much to do with how you feel inside of your own skin, so seeking help from a specialist counsellor may help you cope.

Many women have had breast augmentation to improve their own self image and have been happy with the results. It's not wrong, it's just something that could help. Others haven't been able to face surgery or afforded it, but have found other ways to reduce the importance of their self image so they can get balance back into their lives.

Speak to your doctor, seek out the right kind of help and keep enquiring until you are put in touch with someone who can help you resolve this issue.

You sound a very nice person and have a nice figure and your boyfriend is quiet happy with you We hear so much about larger breasts that it has become boring. I know its difficult if you are self conscious .Would you consider a padded bra this might be of help to you.Then when you are older and working you can decide what you want to do.Best Luck. Nora B.
