Why Are My Breasts Different Sizes?


Having different-sized breasts is perfectly normal. It's quite common
for girls to have different-sized breasts or nipples, especially as
they develop during puberty
Everyone's different, and no two women's breasts will look exactly the
same. In fact, asymmetry — where one body part, like a foot or a hand,
is a slightly different size or shape from its partner — is quite common
in humans.

When girls begin puberty, usually between the ages of 8 and 13, their
breasts begin to develop starting with just a little swelling under the
nipple. This is known as breast budding. You may notice that one of
your breasts starts developing before the other or that one is growing
more quickly. Many times this difference in breast size evens out once a
girl is older, usually by age 20. But it's also perfectly normal for
women's breasts to remain different sizes even when they're fully
developed.

Some girls with different-sized breasts worry that there's something
medically wrong, but chances are, for a teen, there isn't. If you're
really worried about your breast size, talk to your DOCTOR or gynecologist. He or she should be able to reassure you that your breasts are normal.

Girls who notice their breasts are different sizes are aware of their
breasts — and that's good news. Being aware of your breasts can help
you stay healthy! Learning how your breasts normally look (and feel) can
help you notice any changes that might not be normal. Your doctor can
teach you how to do a b that will help you become familiar with your breasts so yoreast self exam (BSE) u can identify any changes.

Some girls worry about their different-sized breasts for cosmetic
reasons. Many girls with different-sized breasts or nipples just accept
that they are normal and don't do anything differently. But other girls
feel self-conscious. It's likely that no one else notices your breasts
look different, though. Other people usually can't see the difference in
the size of a girl's breasts — even if that difference is a full cup
size.

The fact is that exercises, supplements, or diets won't change the
size or shape of a girl's breasts — only plastic surgery can do that.
(And most doctors recommend that a girl wait until her breasts have
finished growing before considering plastic surgery.) Some girls decide
to wear especially supportive bras or special inserts that make their breasts appear more equal in size.
Talk to a lingerie salesperson if you want some suggestions for evening
things out. It may also help to talk to your mom, older sister, or an
aunt or grandmother — they may have worried about having different-sized
breasts during their teen years, too.

Everyone develops differently, and it's normal for the two sides of
our bodies to be a little different from each other. We humans aren't as
evenly proportioned as we appear at first glance!
