Hi everyone
I just wanted to post on here as I have been in exactly the same situation as yourselves. I am now 27 years old and I had an operation at the age of 16 for a breast reduction in one of my breasts and it was the best thing I ever did!
I had one breast two sizes bigger than the other. It started when I was 12 and everytime we went back to the doctors, they just said that I was still growing and it would catch up but it never did. I understand how miserable it is, I actually felt close to killing myself sometimes but I promise you that you will not be like it forever.
We ended up going private and paying £3000 because the waiting list for the NHS would have been about 3 years. I am so happy now and the scarring is barely nothing at all.

This is a relief. I always thought i was the weird one. I talked to my mom about it and she said she and my aunt have the same problem and that it's normal. But my mother is one of those traditional women that uses herbs for meds so i didn't really believe her.
My left boob is a full C and my right is a B. I live in the Caribbean so we always wear tanktops or else we get really hot. It's really noticable in tanktops so i try to wear t-shirts. In the summer t-shirts are unbearable (It's average 100 F in the summer) so I pad my right.
I'd have to go to Colombia for plastic surgery so that's not really an option for me. I'd get mugged in the plane (lol). I guess I'd have to live with it.
It's certainly normal so don't let that stop you from wearing comfortable clothing. If it bothers someone who is looking at your tank top, tell them to stop looking. That's their problem if they don't understand, don't make it your problem too.
Hope I helped:)
