What does it mean if one breast is larger than the other? Especially if it just recently happened.?

Question

This is an issue my friend has. She is not sure whether or not one was always bigger. If it has suddenly become bigger, what could this mean? We googled it and found something called "inflammatory breast cancer" Does anyone know anything about this?

Hi, I wanted to tell you about my experience with the CurvyBust cream. I'm 24 years old and I've spent pretty much my whole life wishing I had slightly larger breasts. I'm normally a size A, I'd love to be a size B, especially when I wear certain kinds of low cut tops. I have a good figure, and I like what I have, but every now and then I would like a little bit more. Even if I had the money, (which I don't because I am a college student with loans to pay off), I would never consider going under the knife just to go up 1 cup size. So that's been my dilemma.
I found out about curvybust cream when I was flipping through (Yahoo Answers). To be honest with you, I'm not the type of girl who would consider spending money on a cream that promises to increase breast size. It just seems like an impossible thing to claim. But there were three reasons that I decided to go for it:

1) I contacted them via their website because I had a question about the cream being OK for sensitive skin (which it is, because it is made of natural botanical ingredients.)

2) I was really impressed by their customer service and willingness to explain everything to me. 3) They offered me a free 12 day supply with no obligation, (I just had to pay the shipping costs- I wasn't too thrilled with that but it was still worth it to get the free product).

Well, it's actually working! There is a noticeable difference in the size of my breasts! It's only been 10 days, and they say that the true final results won't appear until about the 4-6 month time frame, but based on what I can see, (and what my boyfriend can feel�) there's definitely a difference. My breasts are standing out more, and they are fuller and rounder. Sometimes I am able to go out without a bra, now I can't. And I have a feeling that I might have to actually buy new bras if the growth continues. I'm looking forward to seeing how the next month goes. There might actually be a size B in my future! Woohoo!

When you are younger you may not notice the difference in your breast size but as they grow your friend or yourself may notice that one of the two breasts are bigger.

Most of the time our breasts don't grow at the same rate and won't most likely be the same size unless you get implants then you may have no or a very little size different.

My left boob is about a half cup size bigger than the right one. I am not going to get a mammogram over it because I get a mammogram once a year and nothing has shown up yet. I am normal and in good health and I am sure your friend is too!

If your friend is in her 30s she should check for a breast lump. She may have some sort of breast cancer, or a cyst she might want to have checked out at a hospital or a local clinic.

If she's younger and is still afraid she has cancer tell her to test her breasts for lumps. If she feels nothing I can assure you she's fine. You can tell her that this is something that happens to most women and our boobs don't grow at the same rate.

If she's still concerned have her visit her doctor at her earliest conveince.

Good luck

Answer 5

First - almost every woman is "lopsided" - just to different degrees. Being off by as much as a cup size is not unheard of.

Second - if your friend is really concerned, she should go to a doctor, not "answers at yahoo."

She most likely does NOT have "inflammatory breast cancer." I bet if you check she doesn't have any of the other symptoms associated with cancer -
Signs and symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include:

* A breast that appears red, purple, pink or bruised
* A tender, firm and enlarged breast
* A warm feeling in the breast
* Itching of the breast
* Pain
* Ridged or dimpled skin texture, similar to an orange peel
* Thickened areas of skin
* Enlarged lymph nodes under the arm, above the collarbone or below the collarbone
* Flattening or retraction of the nipple
* Swollen or crusted skin on the nipple
* Change in color of the skin around the nipple (areola)

Answer 6

I have had 3 mammograms, all of them came out normal, even though one of my breasts is larger than the other. The technician there told me that almost every woman that she does the mammogram on has one breast bigger than the other, and that it doesn't mean anything. It's nothing to worry about.

Answer 7

Nothing, it probably just means she needs me to massage the larger one.

You guys, don't google something and then become anxious because you are (mis)understanding the tip of a topic that takes years of training. Having breasts of different sizes on the same person is common.

Answer 8

What a great question! I think when the plastic surgery movement became more acceptable, working out was no longer an option but a necessity, and beauty meant power and control above all....even wisdom.I think it very sad. Although, that beauty control thing can only get you so far without wisdom to go along with it. It amazing how obsessing about weight and beauty, depletes your brain of personality and smarts.

Answer 9

how old is your friend? If she is about 10-15, then its normal because your breasts are still growing, it'll even out sooner or late, if she hit puberty at 10 and got her period at 12, and she's 15, 16, 17, 18 19 ....ect. and its still not evening out then i suggest she call a doctor.

if she hasn't had her period yet then she's like that. If she has had her period and its been 2 years since she had it or more then its probably a doctors advice.


maybe its just natural like that.

Answer 10

Its perfectly normal for one to be slightly bigger than the other. If you look at your own body and measure, you will find that your feet are not the exact same size and neither are your arms. The body rarely has any symetry to it. So, unless your friend is experiencing problems such as tenderness or a lump, tell her to not worry about it at all. It just shows that she is a normal human being.

Answer 11

If she is a young teen then perhaps she is still developing and hormonal changes are the culprit, breasts do develope one side a bit then the other. If she is really worried, its not worth the stress to sit and Google! Go to the Doctor.
