Breast implants because of uneven breasts!?

Guest · Guest

I'm 15 and my breasts aren't too uneven , but still noticable. I don't know if it's related to a small benign cyst in my right breast (the smaller one) my doctor couldn't tell much of a difference, though it's kind of obvious as one is a B cup and the other is a C. Does anyone know if there could be a connection?

hi there. I'm 20 years old and have actually gotten the surgery for this (when I was 1 Cool

My right breast was a D cup and my left was an A. I am personally very happy that I got the surgery. I was completely self concious, and now, although I am still of course not perfectly even, i feel much more comfortable with my body. I can wear bras and not worry about stuffing one side! Now. The surgery is very expensive BUT ask your surgeon about the different options that there are. Mine was paid for by the government, because it was SUCH a big difference between the right and left breast so they felt that it was important that I fix it due to emotional issues that could develop or something to that effect. Woo hoo! lol anyways, definitely ask about government assistance! Good luck to you Very Happy

I too have dealt with with breast unevenness. I was extremely self-conscious about it through high school, but at the same time scared of surgery. At age 21 I finally had an implant put in my left breast....I couldn't be happier. Now 26, my confidence and comfort level is so much higher than it was as a teenager. What once consumed my thoughts, actions, lifestyle, etc. is now a thing of the past. They are not completely symmetrical by any means since the shape of the implant is not the same as a natural breast, but in a bra or a swimsuit, you would never know the difference. I have recently been considering seeing another surgeon, as the implant has dropped, leaving my aereola in a higher position than my natural breast. Other than that, I am completely pleased and will probably be content without any further surgery until the 10 year mark. The recovery really wasn't bad for me, totally worth the result physically, emotionally, and socially. Like others have mentioned, my insurance company did cover a large portion of the cost, thanks to the persistence of my surgeon.

i am 21 and i have uneven breasts too. its not too significant, they both fit in a d bra but one of them is a bit smaller than the cup. i am just replying because in junior high i was told i had a BIT of scoliosis, i had a bit of a hump on the right side of my rib. my right one is the bigger one.

having asymmetry bothers me to no end, but at the same time im glad they are both a good size and i hate the idea of having some kind of unnatural thing inside me, so i would rather have the real, if imperfect ones rather than fake ones that may screw up my body down the road.

im glad to know im not the only one with this problem.

i worked at victorias secret for awhile, and i was very inspired one day when this pretty asian lady came up to me and asked me about finding a bra, and with no shame or embarrassment whatsoever she tried to explain that one of her boobs was bigger than the other.

just remember that we are all human and we are all bombarded by 'perfect' and unattainable images all the time, and in reality we should love our bodies. if its very drastic and you want surgery, go ahead, but love your body no matter what. its not your fault.

I am only 16 but noticed my uneven breasts at 13. I felt like less of a women. Why would guys be attracted to me? Did other people notice?

I have been seeing my doctor for a while about this issue and she suggested I talk to a plastic surgeon.

After talking to my doctor and the plastic surgeon I decided I wanted surgery to correct it. Mine was bad enough (a c cup on one side and little development at all on the other) that my insurance covered all expensies.

I got an implant 2 weeks ago. I heard it will take a while till they look even (the new side is higher and rounder) but I already feel better about it.

I suggest to all who feel uncomfortable, less of a women, and have a low self esteem like I did, to see their doctor about either implants or reductions.

I had a breast augmentation done 2 weeks ago due to uneven breasts. I was a C on the one side and b on the other, but after breastfeeding 2 kids the small breast became an aa and the big one became an a.
I now have 2 breasts that are the same size. I've gone for a big b cup.
It's very painful, but very worthwhile in my opinion. Very Happy

Please wait till you are in your 20's though, because your body still has to mature and complete the growing phase.

Girls, u have no idea how much better i feel im not alone, iv always felt like a bit of a loner on this topic as none of my girlfriends have this issue and im too shamed to openly talk about it. im guessing my left is a c and my right is a dd, its hard to feel beautiful when one side of ur boobs are hanging out more than the other and u cant find a bra that fits properly therefor i have back pain , iv had this issue since i was 16, nothing has changed and im 24, depressing i know, im seriously considering breast reduction because im so self concise of it. id love to be able to stand in the mirror and see a even pair of boobs instead of grilling myself on how disfigured i feel.

Much love to u all

It really is so great to know that none of us are alone... thanks ladies... I'm 17, nearly 18, and I know supposedly I have some growing left to do, but my breasts are uneven and it seems like I'm done growing and that it's not gonna fix itself. Sad

I know it's not a HUGE difference, my left is a C cup and my right is about a B cup, but now it seriously is starting to get to me.

When I was younger I didn't really notice it so much, and it hardly bothered me, but my mom is a doctor and one time she told me, "Wow, that size difference with your breasts is really noticeable!" Thanks mom, that did WONDERS for my self-esteem! Now I can't stop thinking about it, and every time I look in the mirror I keep hoping that it won't be obvious, but it is. Or at least, it seems obvious NOW. I never thought it was obvious before, but I feel like she warped my self-image with that comment.

I'm too afraid to ever let a guy see my breasts because of it, and I hate that because it feels like a weakness. A LOT of guys have made advances on me, but they don't know about this issue, and I feel like I can't even have a boyfriend anymore since guys only want sex, and PERFECT BOOBS. It's a nightmare!!! But I also don't want surgery, because I'd prefer for my boobs to stay natural, but it's just so depressing to have any unevenness thanks to media pressure to have perfect, even, round, huge boobs.

Still, those of you girls who have boyfriends or husbands that don't mind your size difference, stop to think how lucky you are that you found a guy who doesn't mind. That is seriously SO IMPORTANT and something you shouldn't take for granted. I wish our society wasn't so superficial... I hate feeling superficial myself. An earlier post said something about women in Africa, and it's so TRUE. It shouldn't be such a NECESSITY to have perfect boobs, they're natural parts of us.

I really wish there was some other option besides surgery to help something like this, though. I'd be perfectly content if only my right breast would even out to match my left one, I don't even care about having an overall bigger size anymore! Crying or Very sad

I'm normally a confident person, but this seriously just kills me and often makes me depressed. If only there was a simpler, cheaper way to fix this problem. It causes so much grief for so many women...

I have the same problem that you are all describing, my breasts have been uneven since I started developing them, one is a A/B and the other a C/D, not HORRIBLY uneven but enough to really annoy me when searching for bras/swimwear/anything low cut. I will be 27 in a few months and I really really want to have this fixed, and I want to know if there is any other treatment than surgery, I don't want to get an implant in one because I am sure they will then age differently and I'll be back to square one.
Sometimes I almost enjoy going to Victoria's Secret and redeeming their free panty coupon just to have the girl behind the counter say 'you're not done you forgot your bra!' so I can explain to her how Victoria's Secret has a HORRIBLE selection of bras with removable padding and therefore do not fit me correctly and I do not like them. They always seem a little taken aback if they pry long enough to find out WHY I only wear removable padding bras, which, p.s. H&M has the most AMAZING selection ever, I get all my bras there. Everything from plain and sensible to totally racy and all sorts with removable padding heh.
So anyway, all the boyfriends I've had have said it does not bother them; well, it's NOT ABOUT THEM IT'S ABOUT ME JERKS. I seem to be one of the older women posting in this forum, and if anyone know of any procedure other than implants to fix this I would love to know it. A friend of mine who had a very strong history of breast cancer in her family had both breasts removed and they literally made her new ones by inflating a balloon to grow new skin and then filling them with fat from other parts of her body. Why can't they do that for me?

I'm 19 and have always been aware since like middle-school of my very different breast sizes. One is a B/C and the other is clearly an A. As much as I try not to let it affect me and not think about it, it clearly has a huge impact on my life. Everytime I go to take a shower, try on a bra, put on a bathing suit its there staring me in the face and it makes me feel like a freak. Needless to say it has hugely lessoned my self esteem. I've never had a boyfriend really and the way I feel about my breasts definetly had an impact on that. My mom and sister always knew but I never talked about it to them until recently I brought it up to my mom.

I just saw the gynocologist and forced myself to mention it to her. As soon as I got it out of my mouth I started bawling, I just couldn't stop crying it was so embarrassing. Tomarow I have a meeting with a surgeon and I'm really relieved. I feel like if its an annoyance and you can live without surgery then take the safe and less expensive route than by all means. But if your like me and everytime you think of your body you get embarrassed than get it done and make your life better. I'm so excited that I'm doing this and no matter what happens its good to know that there are so many people out there like me and i'm not alone.
