Women who have disproportionately large breasts (female breast hypertrophy or macromastia) can elect to have breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty). Some women who develop abnormally large breasts experience significant stress on the shoulders, neck and trunk because of the compensatory need to support the additional breast weight.

Women with large, normal breasts are different from those with macromastia. This condition often starts during or soon after puberty. At times, this condition can arise during pregnancy and persist afterward. In extremely rare cases, a condition known as virginal breast hypertrophy can develop in which breast enlargement progresses very rapidly.

Large, sagging breasts can plague women because they restrict activities and often cause physical discomfort. The symptoms of female breast hypertrophy may result in persistent, debilitating pain. In such cases, the condition can be alleviated or, in most cases, eliminated, through breast reduction surgery (reduction mammoplasty). Some of the most common problems associated with disproportionately large breasts include:

Chronic back, neck and shoulder pain
Poor posture
Breast pain or tenderness
Notching on the shoulders from the straps of bras
Self-image concerns
Bras and clothing that are difficult to fit
Restricted activity levels
Heat rashes under the breasts
Frequent headaches
Positioning for sleep difficulties
Breathing problems
Breast reduction is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the size of overly large, pendulous breasts (larger than a D cup). In this surgical procedure, performed by a plastic surgeon, a significant portion of the breast tissue is removed. For cosmetic reasons, the nipples and areola (dark area surrounding the nipple) may be repositioned higher on the breasts.

Reduction surgery removes a considerable amount of the breast, including the skin and underlying glandular tissue, in an effort to create a smaller breast. The average reduction reduces a woman’s bra size from a DD cup (or larger) to a C cup.

It is perfectly normal to have one breast larger than the other. I have the same problem.
