When one breast is bigger than the other
Posted Thursday, January 21, 2010
The vast majority of women have two different-size breasts. Whether the difference is noticeable or not, however, is a very different story.
If you feel your breasts are conspicuously uneven, keep in mind that achieving symmetry is not as simple as enlarging, reducing or lifting one breast to match the appearance of the other. Sometimes, a combination of procedures is necessary.
It's recommended that you discuss with your doctor what you dislike and what you like about your breasts. That way, he or she can treat the asymmetry while preserving what you don't want to change.
It's also very important to keep realistic expectations, as perfect symmetry is virtually impossible.
