Hello all. I figured I'd finally make an account and introduce myself after lurking for some time.
I have a complicated history with my chest and I'm looking to move in a direction that feels right. I hope that the resources and community here will be a good fit for me as I go on this journey.
I'm a 29 year old cis male. For more of my teenage and adult life, I was very self conscious about my chest. I grew up with gynecomastia, unilateral gynecomastia to be specific. I had general body image issues which clouded some of it at first, but as I worked on those I realized that my main issue was the one-sidedness of it. I hated the uneven feeling in my body, the uneven appearance, the way that one side of my chest would poke out of my shirt and the other wouldn't. I grew extremely self conscious of it, although it was relatively under control... That was until I entered a relationship. My boyfriend really likes large chests, and long story short our intimacy often involved nipple play and suction. I absolutely loved it, and through that I really grew to appreciate my chest in a new way. In the first few years we were dating, however, I believe the constant nipple sucking had an effect on my chest and it caused my right breast to grow pretty dramatically. As it grew, I was conflicted- I both loved and hated my chest. I loved the look and sensation of it, but I despised the unilateral nature of it. We tried to focus more on the other one to get it to grow, but there were no results. Eventually, I grew so uncomfortable with my large growth and contrast between breasts that I got gynecomastia surgery to remove my breast tissue. At first, I felt relieved... But I quickly came to realize that I missed the feeling in my chest, especially since the feeling is so muted now and my nipples are a lot smaller.
It's been about 3 years since the surgery. In a way, I regret it. I despised having unilateral gynecomastia, but I really wish the solution I was able to take was to have gynecomastia on both breasts equally rather than none. After a long conversation with my boyfriend discussing this issue, we came to the conclusion that it might be best for me to look into ways to grow my breasts once more. The big thing I want to try and achieve, however, is gynecomastia on my left side to match my right so that both of my breasts can grow together. I would really love to have bilateral gynecomastia and grow my breast tissue again, but I am terrified of entering into the same predicament as last time. I'd much rather not develop my breasts at all than have only one develop and the other stay small.
I am generally a very anxious person when it comes to the body, so I was hoping to find baby steps into breast growth that aren't too intense or extreme. As I feel things out, I hope to grow more comfortable and learn more. More than anything, I'm hoping I can find a way to grow one breast if it lags behind. Even after the surgery (I've gained some weight since then and my chest has grown a bit as a result), my left side is still a bit smaller than my right. I do believe a small amount of breast tissue remains on the right as well, but not the left.
My goals are:
- Breast tissue development and growth
- Larger/puffier areola and nipples
- Increased sensitivity in the breasts
Finally, I am a cis man who otherwise had pretty masculine bodily features. If there is a way to work on the above goals while not feminizing the rest of the body too much (some is fine though), that would be preferable too.
If anyone could point me in the right direction based on my history above, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thank you for reading.
