Why is my right boob so much bigger than left? (Photos)

Hello,Thank you for your question and photos. I can understand your concern related to breast cancer. Rest assured that asymmetries between the breasts, even significant ones, are fairly common. This can be corrected cosmetically with a breast lift and/or combination of implants. I recommend that you meet with a board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options, but also discuss your breast health and genetic testing for the BRCA gene with your primary care physician. All the best

The most concerning part of your question is related to your very strong family history of breast cancer. Please do yourself a favor, and bring this to the attention of a primary care doctor so that consideration can be given to working you up for a genetic cause for your family's breast cancer diagnoses. You have breast asymmetry that is not uncommon. It's correctable in the hands of board-certified Plastic Surgeon, but again, please check on genetic screening for breast cancer before you do anything else. All my best.

Thank you for your question and photograph.  Asymmetry between one's breasts is quite common and very normal.  Should you desire a perkier breast with less droop, you may consider a breast lift.  Should you desire that breast volume to be more symmetric, you may consider an augmentation to your left breast or a reduction to your right breast.  Given the family history of breast cancer, best to screen properly with mammograms and regular examinations.  Best of luck.

Thank you for sharing your question and photographs and I am sorry to hear of your mother and sister's diagnoses.  Because of the number of first degree relatives that have been afflicted with breast cancer I would speak with your primary care doctor about genetic testing for the BRCA gene.  Depending on the results you can then make the best decision for you and your health.  Without the gene you can improve upon your natural asymmetry with a breast lift procedure.  Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. It is very normal to have asymmetry. If this concerns you or if you would like to be assessed further, please see a board certified plastic surgeon. 

Hello, most women have at least small asymmetries or differences between breast. Some have larger differences. Usually its nothing to worry about, and surgery can improve the asymmetry. I recommend seeing a board certified plastic surgeon who can discuss this and provide an appropriate exam. Good Luck. 

Thank you for your question and helpful photos.  I'm so sorry about the devastation that breast cancer has brought on your family.Breast asymmetry is very common, and it isn't usually related to breast cancer.  It's usually just developmental.  However, with your very strong family history of breast cancer at a young age, please consider seeing a breast specialist who can educate you about appropriate breast cancer screenings and about possible genetic testing for the "breast cancer gene".  The results of such testing will help guide your decisions regarding management of your asymmetry.Best wishes,Dr. K

Thank you for the question and the photos.  Breast asymmetries are normal, no pair of breasts are the same 100%.  Some asymmetries are more dramatic while others are more subtle. No matter if you have children or not breasts droop with time and the bigger they are the faster it can droop.  To make your breasts more symmetric and lifted you would need a breast lift and remove some tissue from the larger breast.  If you want your breasts larger then you could also do an implant with the lift.  Schdeule a consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Best Wishes

Hello, thanks for your question, this is pretty normal in some patients, asymmetry is not a problem and can be corrected. Contact a board certified plastic surgeon. Go to your primary doctor and check your breasts before doing anything else. Good luck!

My condolences in the passing of your mother. As my colleagues have noted, breast asymmetry is very common. I suggest as your first step before deciding on the best solution to correct the asymmetry is for you to meet with your OBGYN or PCP for genetic testing for the BRCA gene. The results could determine your next steps. Best wishes.
