Uneven Breasts
Posted: 01-12-08 03:27am

I know the majority of women have uneven breasts but mine has been getting more uneven over the past 2 yrs. I was wondering if anyone has this problem and if there is a way to fix it besides surgery. I can't afford surgery so I was thinking maybe hormone therapy?

I would just check with a doctor if there is any problem with it. Hormones won't work for that, only surgery, a breast lift will work.

24... so it cant be attributed to puberty then anyway! well if your weight is fluctuating at all it can affect breast size, but i would expect it to affect both breasts relatively evenly. maybe it's something you can bring up with your doctor next time you are there.

Chicken fillets??? I wouldn't recommend that but I would recommend getting a bra insert. You can ask a plastic surgeon or doctor where women get them. Women who have had mastectomies buy these. Make sure you get fitted by a professional for the best fit because not only size is an issue, so is shape.

You're lucky that you can get a reduction in one of your breast. I'm only a B-cup in my larger breast so I have to get an insert in the other one.

I don't think that hormones is really an issue at your age. This is about as good as it gets unless there's some special reason that's causing it. Are you on any meds? Do you have any bone problems? I have scoliosis and a complication is that I have an indent in my chest that makes that breast smaller.

It's worth looking into.

similar problem..
Posted: 01-15-08 07:10am

Hello
I am 24 also, and i have the same problem. One of my breasts is noticeably larger than the other. So I try to avoid wearing tight tops or t-shirts because it is very obvious. In addition, i recently noticed that my breasts are starting to sag and get droopy. Whats the cause? What can i do to make them look even or at least not sag?
Nightangel73 - whats a breast lift? and is it easy to get done? does it leave any scars?

Uneven size- normal and don't worry.

BUT if you are seeing changes in the shape or size of your breast, you need to get a breast exam to rule out cancer (according to webmd) since you are old enough where it doesn't seem to be due to puberty or any hormonal changes.

web md says:

"Early breast cancer is often seen on a mammogram before there are any symptoms. The most common symptom of breast cancer is a painless lump. However, sometimes painful lumps are cancerous. Other symptoms of breast cancer include:

* A lump or thickening in the breast or armpit that is new or unusual.
* A change in the size or shape of the breast.
* Skin changes, such as a dimple or pucker in the skin of the breast.
* Discharge or bleeding from the nipple that comes out without squeezing the nipple (spontaneous discharge).
* A change in the nipple.
* Scaling or crusting of the nipple.
* A change in the color or feel of the skin of the breast or the darker area around the nipple (areola).
* A breast lump in a man."

I have a question too..
Posted: 01-31-08 21:47pm

I also have this same problem. I'm 17 (18 in 8 mos.) but still havent gotten my period. I had started devoloping breasts about a year 1/2 ago. I hadn't noticed until a few months ago that one is way bigger then the other. Like, at first it wasn't much, but then one started growing faster to the point where stretch marks were formed, but the other..not so much.

Now, my mom has uneven breasts too, so is it like a genetic thing? Or is it due to something else?

( I know I kinda just made my own little topic there, but I didnt want to start a new one because this has been posted in recently.)

haha so you have a thing for women with large labia and lopsided breasts? haha i dunno if that's really a turn-on for you or if you're just really horny and don't care. but at least you're boosting some egos, so more power to you Smile
