My boobs are one boob and have been this way since puberty. Ive never had breast implants. Can this even be corrected?
Answer: Sometimes there's not an answer... I am sorry to tell you this, but I am fairly confident there is not a good solution. I treat a lot of implant-caused "uniboobs" (should be called symmastia), and so i am referred a lot of patients like you. I have tried everything, presented the cases to others, and no plastic surgeon I know who i trust is reporting good results.The fundamental problem is that there is a layer of fat overlying the breast bone which prevents the skin in front of the breast bone from adhering down to it. Even in overweight women that skin should be right on top of the bone.People have tried liposuction of that area but even if done aggressively the skin never sticks down to the bone.Others have put little metal things in the breast bone and sewn it to the skin, but this creates dents and irregularities oftentimes more deforming than what they had before.In my opinion, those who wrote on this section that you could have a reduction are partially correct. By virtue of reducing the size it may be less apparent to you. But fundamentally the underlying problem is that the skin is not stuck to the breast bone. I can't see how a lighter and smaller breast will correct the problem.By the way, what you have is relatively mild. I know it bugs you, but please recognize that what you have is not a severe case.thanks

Answer: Correction of Very Tight Cleavage or "uniboob" Because the appearance is caused by the relatively large size of each breast, reduction of breast volume would improve this. This could be accomplished with breast reduction surgery. An alternative, if the breasts have a large fat component would be liposuction breast reduction. The result would not be as predictable as breast reduction surgery. You would have to discuss your exact goals and trade-offs such as the breast reduction scars with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Breast reduction may help macromastia with "unpboob" Thank you for your question. You have macromastia which is accentuating the closeness of your breasts. A bilateral reduction mammoplasty will be your best option. Please consult a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Treating breasts that meet in the midline Often a breast reduction with a lift will give considerable relief to your problem. To a certain extent, you will likely always have a close cleavage given how your breasts are formed, but a lift with reduction would likely give you considerable improvement.

Answer: Correction of "uni-boob" You appear to have macromastia or large breasts that typically are treated with a breast reduction and lift procedure. That will alleviate much of the issue that you have. You will still have somewhat of a tight cleavage but if you desire smaller breasts that could be an excellent way to proceed.
