No, it can happen, what you need to look out for is unfamiliar lumps.

It is quite common for one breast to be bigger than the other during development and for some reason it is usually the left one that grows largest. The breasts tend to even out in size and become less noticeable as development continues throughout puberty, although many women are aware that their breasts are slightly different sizes. If you are very asymmetrical by the end of puberty, and it is causing psychological problems, you may be able to have an operation to correct this on the NHS, although waiting lists can be long. If the breast is lumpy however, it is important to seek medical advice. Don't be embarrassed - your GP is used to dealing with worries like this. If you would feel more comfortable, ask to see a female doctor - or ask to see the practice nurse first, who can gently examine you and put you at your ease. The nurse can then call a doctor in to assess you if she feels this is necessary.-

No, not really. If it has suddenly grown that way, you might want to check...UNLESS they are just growing in. Pretty much everyone has one that is a bit bigger, but a lot of people have a cup size difference. If they are just appearing, the other will probably catch up to closer the same size.
They make bras with removable pads that you can 'even out' your breasts with. But that is only if it is a big difference. Odds are, the difference is only visible to you. (If you are like most of us and only have a little difference)

No. In fact, if you check with every girl you meet, 9 out of 10 will tell you that they have asymetrical breasts, the 1 girl left might not have noticed until you tell her so and the next day she would call you and say "yes, I have one that bigger than the other too".
That's the fact.

No ones breasts are perfectly symmetrical. Some people can notice the difference more, some can't. But nothing on a human body has an exact match

No, it's common as stated above, but if it's got a lump in it that makes it bigger then it needs to be checked out... Large percentage of those things are benign anyway, but not worth it to "just wait and see"
If you're worried about it then go see a doctor, don't wait around for someone on Yahoo Answers to tell you what is wrong !

Unpaired size has nothing to do with breast cancer, in fact our body is not simetrical, we always have a larger foot, longer leg, etc.
Do your monthly test and check for any stiff lumps. Dont worry

No, Most women are a bit asymetrical in that area. Some signs are any unusual (and new) lumps in the tissue, no odd dimpling of the tissue, no discharge from the nipple. It's doubtful the assymetry alone is somthing to worry about.

Nope, it is very normal for women to have one breast larger than the other.
There is a very small percentage of women who have the exact same size breast.
