One of mine is just a little bit larger than the other. It's not noticable to anyone other than me, but I can tell a difference by the way my bra fits and my swim suit tops. My husband doesn't even notice it. I was just wondering if I was the only one. Should I be concerned?

Hi,
We're all anatomically different on both sides of our body, this can vary from person to person. People generally can't or don't notice. It is the way biology made us. Not to worry.

The truth is as long as we are not talking about a huge difference and as long as there is no discoloration of the larger breast then I would say you should not worry especially if it has always been slightly different. All parts of the body are different shapes and sizes. My extremities on the left are a full half inch smaller than my extremities on the right. Why is that, I suppose because of use. By extremities I mean arms an legs.
Breasts are not perfectly round or even the same weight and shape. When a surgeon does a breast augmentation he will actually make sure that both breasts are not the same size so they look more natural. What I am trying to say is that no two breasts are the same size and shape not even on the same body
However, if your breasts should become enlarged or discolored there is a type of breast cancer called Inflammatory Breast Cancer and you need to make the Doctor check you for it. It is often misdiagnosed as an infected bug bite and prescribed antibiotics and not properly diagnosed until a woman is in 4th stage and most women who get a diagnosis if IBC end up dying because it is not properly diagnosed until it is too late.
Not trying to scare you and I am talking about a sudden change in size and shape and color of the breast then you should worry.

This is normal because most women can tell that one is a whole cup size difference between the two breasts. the less the difference the less u should worry. my left side is a DD and the right is a D so I wear a D to give me better support in my bras.

It's perfectly normal. I wouldn't be concerned unless it became noticeably bigger and painful. I have what my doctor termed fibrous breast tissue and one time my left breast swelled up noticeably more than my right breast. When I went to my doctor to find out about it, she told me that even without the fibrous tissue most women's breast aren't exactly the same size. One is often bigger than the other, but not noticeably. The same is true of our feet, hands, etc. The human body isn't perfectly symmetrical. It's just the way we're made.

completely normal, and I'm betting that if your right handed your right boob is the smaller one. the boob on the same side of your dominant hand is usually the smallest cause you use that hand and arm more than the other. if your right handed you use it more than the left hand, the breasts are made up mainly of fat. when one arm is used more than the other that boob gets more of a so called work out and some of the fat turns into muscle. Since muscle takes up less space than fat your boob will be a little smaller than the other.

Mine is 2. It is normal. Every single part on our body is not even on both sides. Don't worry about it. Be happy that you husband is happy with your body and is not as critical as you are. I am sure that you are beautiful and small stuff like that shouldn't occupy time in your mind.

I don't know about breasts, but my third testicle is slightly larger than my other 2. So I would venture a guess, that there is something wrong in the universe.
