Proper Breast Development
So this is an embarrassing question that I'm hesitant to ask my doctor (as I've already bombarded her with similar questions) but I wanted to ask how one can tell if they're developed.
I have two issues here:
1) I'm over the age of 20 and I'm entirely flat chested in the sense that I don't really poke out per se. I went to see my doctor and she said I look normal...she told me she typically looks for specific lines on the chest (in between breasts) to gauge whether they developed properly. She motioned to a spot that I had outlined sort of recently with a tanning spray to "accentuate" what really wasn't there AT ALL in the first place. I'm definitely no doctor but I'm just not sure if the spray inhibited her doing a proper assessment.
2) I read on multiple sources that breasts should feel lumpy if you have milk tissue...I don't believe I can sense said lumps in my chest.
So this leads me to a handful of questions: What is a surefire way to tell that you're developed, if there is one? Do all properly developed breasts feel lumpy? Or can you sometimes not feel milk glands/nodes even if you have no fat tissue in your chest?

Regarding the question of whether normal breasts feel lumpy, I don't think so. At your age the breast tissue should be dense but smooth.
I don't think there is a surefire way to tell that you're developed. If you gained a bunch of weight and your breasts didn't also get some form, possibly that would suggest you're not at your full development yet. Have you had your hormone levels checked?

Yeah they're normal based on my most recent blood test. But I may not be able to gain weight in my chest because there may be no adipose tissue there.
