I am very insecure about my breats. I always thought they'd grow to be more even when I was in my teens but that never happened. They make me really unconfident about my body but I don't really know what I can do about this problem.

Answer: How can I fix uneven breasts? Breast asymmetry occurs in about 90% of patients, so it is normal, but yours is more noticeable than most. You have some chest wall asymmetry, and whatever you do, some asymmetry will persist. Placing an incision with removal of some around your right areola (doughnut), will stretch out the areola some, and allow it to be lowered. At the same time you could remove with a doughnut excision some of the areola skin from the left breast. Those two maneuvers together would improve the asymmetry substantially. There would still be some differences in size and shape, but overall your breasts have a nice shape, and I would not recommend anything more drastic.

Answer: Uneven Breasts and Areolas It is difficult to give you advice by viewing your single image, but the most striking feature that I notice is the asymmetric (uneven) appearance of your areola (dark area around nipple). I would first consider seeking consultation with someone experienced in areolar tattooing for breast cancer reconstruction. Your image gives me the impression that you do not have any excess in body fat, but if this is not the case, you may also consider fat grafting to your right breast which might help with some of the unevenness. Thank you, Dr. Michael Sadove
