I have always had slightly asymmetrical breasts but as I approached adolescence my breasts have become more different in size and shape. Though asymmetry is common, it looks like one breast simply stopped developing, because the nipple is smaller and the portion of breast tissue under the nipple is significantly not as large/developed as the other. Is this something natural or does it look like a health concern is the cause? Are There Non-invasive Treatments Available?

CONTACT NOW Answer: Asymmetric breasts Thank you for your question. Some degree of breast asymmetry is in fact far more common than perfectly symmetrical breasts. Your size difference may truly be a normal variant. Bearing that in mind, there are certain developmental conditions (Poland's syndrome, for example) in which one breast fails to develop completely. There is unlikely any non-surgical option which will correct your problem. One-sided breast augmentation (or both-sided, with different size implants), plus or minus tissue expansion of the smaller side (depending on the degree of underdevelopment) will be the best option to give you a result with which you'll be happy.

Answer: Breast Asymmetry The vast majority of women have some degree of breast asymmetry. This asymmetry occurs for a variety of reasons. It can be related to the volume of the breasts, or in some cases, to the shape of the breasts. In some cases, asymmetry may be related to the position of the nipple areola complexes, while in other cases, it may be related to deformities of the underlying chest-wall.Regardless of the cause, a cup size difference isn't an unusual finding. When this problem is encountered, a variety of surgical options are available to treat this problem. If you're concerned about breast asymmetry, it's important to consult a board certified plastic surgeon. This surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.

Answer: Asymmetry corrected with cosmetic breast surgery Asymmetry is definitely the norm for women. One breast is always different in shape or size than the other. The only problem is when the asymmetry is very apparent, which could cause embarrassment for the woman affected. You can get breast augmentation or a reduction surgery to balance out your breasts, but there is no non-invasive treatment that's either FDA approved or safe.

Answer: Asymmetry is normal In general, female breasts stop developing at around 18 or 19 years old. How old are you? This is when a primary level of maturity is achieved, however further changes occur with pregnancy and lactation (the production of breast milk). Your breasts will continue to change throughout your life, as the signs of aging become more apparent. For example, your breasts may begin to droop as supportive tissues weaken, or grow larger when you gain weight. Please note that nobody's breasts are symmetrical. Every woman has one breast that may be different in shape and/or size, and this asymmetry varies. It can be mild to severe, but note that this is totally normal. The only treatment that is safe and effective is cosmetic breast surgery.
