Why is one breast smaller than the other?

Question

Obviously most of you didn't get the point. I'm 21. I've heard three different theorys and figured maybe someone with real knowledge would know.
~ Muscles
~ Heart (Which doesn't make sence because I know some woman with a larger right breast)
~ or which ever hand you write with is the side your breast will be bigger.

Answer 1

Having different-sized breasts is perfectly normal. It's quite common for girls to have different-sized breasts or nipples, especially as they develop during puberty. Everyone's different, and no two women's breasts will look exactly the same. In fact, asymmetry - where one body part, like a foot or a hand, is a different size or shape from its partner - is quite common in humans.

When girls begin puberty, usually between the ages of 8 and 13, their breasts begin to develop starting with just a little swelling under the nipple. This is known as breast budding. You may notice that one of your breasts starts developing before the other or that one is growing more quickly. Many times this difference in breast size evens out once a girl is older, usually around age 20. But it's also perfectly normal for women's breasts to remain different sizes even when they're fully developed.

Some girls with different-sized breasts worry that there's something medically wrong, but chances are, for a teen, there isn't. If you're really worried about your breast size, talk to your doctor or gynecologist. He or she should be able to reassure you that you don't have any health problems. In fact, the good news about noticing your breasts are different sizes is that it means you're aware of your breasts - and being aware of your breasts can help you stay healthy! Learning how your breasts normally look (and feel) can help you notice any changes that might not be normal. Your doctor can teach you how to do a breast self-exam that will help you become familiar with your breasts so you can identify any changes.

Some girls worry about their different-sized breasts for cosmetic reasons. Many girls with different-sized breasts or nipples just accept that they are normal and don't do anything differently. But other girls feel self-conscious. It's likely that no one else notices your breasts look different, though. Other people usually can't see the difference in the size of a girl's breasts - even if that difference is a full cup size.

The fact is that exercises, supplements, or diets won't change the size or shape of a girl's breasts, only plastic surgery can do that. (And most doctors recommend that a girl wait until her breasts have finished growing before getting plastic surgery.) Some girls decide to wear especially supportive bras or special inserts that make their breasts appear more equal in size. Talk to a nurse or lingerie salesperson if you want some suggestions for evening things out. It may also help to talk to your mom, older sister, or an aunt or grandmother - they may have worried about having different-sized breasts during their teen years, too.

Answer 4

Because the other one is bigger.

No, just kidding. There are many reasons----------genetics being the best answer.

My right one is larger, and the older I got, the longer (I mean, larger HaHa) it got. When I breast fed my younger daughter, she favored the left breast, so who knows....
Now that daughter is 25, and has a 14-mo-old who breast feeds from both side about equally, and her left breast is at least 1 cup size larger than her right.

We are both right handed.
My older daughter doesn't have a huge difference on either side.

So......we're back to square one: genetics.

Answer 6

I think we're all made that way. I heard a theory once that it's really only because our heart's on the left and that's usually the larger breast. The heart just pushes that one out more than the other because it takes up space in the chest wall.

Answer 7

Nobody is totally symetrical (spelling?).. Things typically even out a bit more after puberty, but if you are passed that point, then you will just have to deal. Only options are different sized cups in your bra by sewing two together, buying a bra that fits the larger side and padding the smaller one, or surgery.

Answer 8

It's normal. Sometimes one is very different from the other but the difference between is barely noticeable.

Size difference can also be attributed to your dominate side (right or left handness), so the pectoral muscle under breast tissue is larger

Answer 9

Probably cause most body parts are smaller on one side than the other (except of course on Arnold Schwarzenegger and super-models). What-ever side you work with most gets bigger...like my right arm's bigger than my left. However, I was wondering whether (if you were a righty) your right breast would be smaller than your left since the fat would've been absorbed more since your right pec would theoretically be bigger than your left pec...mmmmm....I wonder.

Answer 10

thats the way it is one side of the body is always smaller than the other..mine is the right and thats because i have a big heart
