will breast asymmetry self-correct?

Question

My 13-year old daughter's left breast is twice as big as right one & she's understandably concerned. I tell her to be patient... that the right one will 'catch up', but is this really true? Or is it more likely that the asymmetry will remain (or increase) and that she will 'need ' (want) cosmetic surgery [once she has matured fully] to correct this?

Answer 1

First, you should take her to the doctor- a big difference between breasts can indicate a tumor or cyst and should be looked at. If there isn't anything wrong, then it's possible that the right will catch up, though they will probably never be exactly the same size- most women have one breast slightly larger than the other (my left is bigger by about half a cup size).

Answer 2

It's possible that the smaller breast will increase size as she matures, but it's also likely that the larger breast will increase at the same rate, so the size disparity will likely remain. I have known several adult women who had such breast asymmetry, and all had it since puberty, and all had to correct it with plastic surgery.

Answer 3

I knew a couple of women who had that problem. They both had a case where on breast was a C cup, the other a B. They have corrector bras to make them even. There are some women who will have one larger breast. They might even out later on, but remember that no women's breasts are perfectlly symmetrically. There is usually one thats bigger than the other. I hope she gets 'lined' up soon. Good luck to you both.

Answer 4

everyone of us is asymmetric and it stays like that all our live. visible asymmetry can be easily improved by the cosmetic surgery and your daughter might need one...
