I Have a Birth Defect

I was born with polymastia. Ever since birth, I had these four spots below my nipples, in two lines down my abdomen. We didn't think much of them, and just though they were moles.

I went into puberty at around 10, and a little over a year later, after my breasts had started developing, I noticed the "moles" had started slightly developing as well, slightly showing little bumps on them, similar to my nipples.

At 10, I had an examination where my parents and me were told they were in fact nipples, a total of four. I was kind of scared, but the doctors were unsure whether or not there was going to be any extra breast tissue with the nipples in the future.

When I was 12, my breasts were almost C-cups, and at this point, two of the other 'breasts' had been growing for a short while as well, becoming a slightly raised area around two of the extra nipples.

Now that I'm 16, I have a pair of DD-cups with a pair of D-cups right below them. All of them are shaped like regular breasts, and the extra nipples look just like my normal ones.

I wear a regular bra and a smaller, strapless bra below it when I'm at school and in public or with friends, and most of my friends know about my condition, and are very accepting. I still wear slightly baggy clothes so it doesn't show so obviously, because I still get stares in public.

I'm open for any questions if you have some :)

Only way to know for sure is if your breasts are 3% or more of your body mass/weight but other than that yeah pretty much wait and see. Yeah true more growth is to be expected especially with having polymastia more breast tissue is going to encourage more growth naturally by shear nature of how breast tissue behaves.
