Recently i have noticed that my left breast is much bigger and much more "perky" than my right breast. Also, there is a lot of extra skin on the breast and I have no idea if that is normal or not. So is it normal? Is it serious? Should I see a doctor about this?

As many have posted here it is much more frequent than you think to have a different size in your breasts. You are young, so I would wait until you mature completely (around 18 years old) to see if there is a definite disparity between them, it may fix although don't expect them to be equal, that is very uncommon. If by that time there is still a significant difference and other medical problems have been ruled out as the cause of the different size, and it bothers you a lot, you may consider plastic surgery which is usually very safe and you get good results, but wait until after age 18 at least.
Reasons for concern would be: 1) seeing an progressive growth and disparity in one breast compared to the other -could mean that a mass is growing inside-; 2) changes in the skin in that breast (redness, dimpling or tiny holes like an orange); 3) a family history of breast cancer in 1st degree relatives, especially if it happened at a young age;4) discharge in that breast.
Check your breasts every month (some 5 days AFTER your period to look for any masses, and also check your armpits on both sides to look for swollen glands).
You probably don't need to see a doctor immediately, however I would suggest to see a gynecologist for a regular check-up (which includes a breast exam) and you can address your concerns. A mammography is of no benefit at your age, as your breast tissue is too dense. It is useful after age 40. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Good luck!

It's normal.Most women have their left breasts bigger than the rights,some have the opposite.Some has bigger differences in size some are not that visible but it's totally normal. once had gone to the doctor for that too when I was younger and the doc had told me it's pretty usual.

Put yourself at ease and go to the doctor. I dont know how old you are, or if you have ever had a breast exam. But they are saying now that girls should start seeing an OB between the ages of 13-15 now, so I am guessing you are due for a checkup.

I would consult a doctor. Usually if this happens you shoud have breast surgery. Make the other breast a lot fuller. The doctor can do this. It is not normal for a boob to be bigger than a other boob.

Most women don't have the same breast sizes. As you get older it becomes less noticeable.

Most women do not have symmetrical ( even in size) breast. You should always consult a doctor about anything that concerns you about your body.

Many woman have one breast that is substantially more developed than the other. I would worry if you have other symptoms, like pain or redness on it. But the best bet would be to go to your doctor and have him/her check it out.

Quite normal. Essentially one side of the body is bigger than the other. Check it out.

Most women's left breast is bigger than their right one because that's where your heart is!
