Q: size difference in breasts

Well back when I was around 6 my dog actually bit my left breast, it wasn't that bad that it was bleeding but it hurt for a few days. Anyways now at the age of 19 I've been dealing w/ a major size difference between both breasts (at least I think it's not a normal size difference). My left is an A-cup size & the right is a B-cup & I'm wondering if this much of a difference in size is normal? I know that one is normally bigger than the other, but by this much? Confused Also could the difference be bc my dog had bitten that breast?

I can't tell you whether the difference is due to the dog bite or not. I do know that some women do have that big a size difference although I don't think it is common. Reconstructive surgery and enhancement can fix it but it is costly.

Thank you for your response, it has just always made me wonder. I don't think I'll plan on doing reconstructive surgery, my bf loves them the way they are Smile & I've grown use to them being the way they are & it doesn't bother me anymore.

I think it is relatively common. Although that may be because I too, have a size difference in my breasts. One is an entire cup size different and the nipple is also at least twice the size of the other, smaller breast.

I've got very uneven breasts. Mines are a bigger size difference than yours. One of my breasts is a C, growing to a D and my small one is an A. There wasn't such a big difference but then I started on the pill and my left breast started to grow much more to the size it is now. However my smaller one is only now growing. I'm hoping they will even up over time! I wouldn't like surgery on them either.

Just know you aren't alone! Smile

It's actually more common than not. The majority of women have a size difference in their breasts. The ones with even sized breasts are just lucky!

Uneven Breasts
Hello,

I'm only 14,
I just wanted to say, Is there anyway to get both breasts the same size without talking to your parents and no surgery?

Ummm and also, If you sleep on one of your breasts because its the side you lay on when you go to bed, Is it possible that it gets smaller because you sleep on it all the time?

please tell me I'm worrying for nothing :o)
I've just noticed recently that mine are not the same size... my left one is a little bit bigger...

my concern is that most people who talk about their breast being different sizes start to notice at an early age like 12 or 14, etc... but I'm 30 and I'm just noticing it - I always knew my left breast was a tiny bit different but lately I've really noticed it to the point one cup of my bra is fuller than the other

I don't have any tenderness or any lumps (that I know of)

This past summer I have lost about 25-30 lbs...(which I'm really happy about) but I still have a ways to go... so I don't know if the big difference I am noticing lately in my breast size is from the weight loss or from something else ... I'm hoping its just from the weight loss

uneven breasts
hi all
it's nice to see that i'm not going through this myself
i feel having uneven breasts is something to be kept in secrecy
i hate it
i hate it so much
yet i'm not considering reconstructive surgery
my left side is A, and my right side is AA (i think) or my left side is 1/2 cup bigger than my right side
that has made me feel extreeeeeemely self-conscious
i can't wear sexy clothes, i don't like wearing bathing suits ( i miss out on wearing bikinis) i miss out on a lot of things because of that
most of all,
i don't want to enter into relationships because of my small breast size AND uneven breasts
I wish everyday that they'd grow even, but at the age of 26, i'm losing hope in it.
I wish it's not a big thing for guys, but i know it is.
I know that i should feel proud of my body no matter what shape it is in, but I"m afraid it's the main source of my problems.

I'd be so much more confident if i had even breasts...or bigger breasts
Wow..i think this is the first time I'm "confessing" to anyone..
only my mom and my doctor know about this.
I feel too ashamed of my body to want to be with any guy.
I'm wasting my youth away because of my breasts...it sounds funny..but it's really sad.
