I am 17 year old girl and my left boob is about a C36 and my right is about half the size. They are also as saggy as my mothers but she has smaller boobs and is in her 50's. I saw my doctor and she told me that they should even out once my period starts to even out. My period is still not regular. But for the saggy part it really affects me I can't wear a strapless because it doesn't look right or good. I'm not sure if I should start exercising and it will work or not. Please help!

Asymmetric “Sagging” Breasts 17 Years Old?

Thank you for the question. Based on your description you may be an excellent candidate for breast surgery for both physical and psychological reasons. I think you will benefit from breast lifting or reduction surgery. Timing of the operation is up to you; ideally, you will be able to wait until after completing pregnancies and achieving a long-term stable weight prior to undergoing breast surgery. Most patients are willing to accept the scars associated with breast lift... more

I would recommend waiting until your growth stabilizes and then re-evaluate your situation in 1-2 years. Your desire for nursing following pregnancy should be taken into consideration. Improved symmetry will likely invovle a combination of breast reduction and/or lift as long as you do not require augmentation. see video

Uneven and Saggy Boobs

A consultation with a qualified surgeon would be needed in order to determine what would be the best way to correct your individual case. It could be that the Breast Augmentation alone may help or it may be recommended that you get a Breast Lift. You must be 18 years old for a Breast Augmentation which would correct the unevenness but to correct a saggy breast than a lift might be your solution.

Uneven breasts don't get better on their own

I agree with most of the answers here. Uneven breasts don't just get better on their own. If your breasts are uneven and saggy, surgery may be the answer for you. Usually, one requires augmentation of both breasts and lift of one or both. Get a couple of opinions from plastic surgeons. Your situation may not be straight forward and you want to make sure to do the right thing.

Asymmetric breasts

Asymmetric breasts can be corrected. It depends upon what you want. The larger breast can be made smaller or the smaller breast can be made larger. If one sags more, they can be lifted as well.

You describe congenital asymmetry of the breast. NO they will NOT even out as your doctor states. Seek in person evaluations from boarded surgeons in your area. You will need surgery. Sorry.

Breast Asymmetry and Sagging in Teenager

With as much difference as you describe, you will need surgery. There are three options. You can enlarge the smaller, reduce the larger or meet in the middle by enlarging the smaller and reducing the larger. You simply have to decide what size you wish to be. To care for the droop, you will also need a lift on the smaller side, and, also, one on the larger if you do not reduce it. (A reduction does a lift automatically.) The only problem is timing. You can do it now if you are bothered... more

Breast asymmetry and sagging

Unfortunately, breast asymmetry and sagging is very common. Treatment for cosmetic improvement will require a breast lift which treats the sagging aspect. A small reduction can be performed on the larger side to even out the differences. Scars on the breast would be the trade off, but they fade over time. Certainly, as you continue to age, have children, and weight fluctuation, there is always the possibility for appearance changes in the breasts. I would consult with a board... more

Probably won't even out with time

If you have this much assymetry at age 17, you probably won't get magically better. We often see young women who have this problem. Each case is individualized because the breasts are so different. Some women just need a lift on one side, an enlargement on oneside, or a reduction on one side. Still others will need surgery on both breasts to get the best result. Plan on making an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and... more

Asymetric breast

If you have asymmetric breast it is reasonable to do something to help make them more even. A picture would help determine what to do, With sagging a reduction on one side and a Mastopexy may be what is needed. If one sags and the other does not then a reduction or Mastopexy may be all that is needed . Age 17 is not to young to do something and I do not think that they will even up when your period equals out.
