I'm 17 and I'm wondering if my breasts will ever even out. I know it's common for women to have slightly different sized breasts. Mine are noticeably different. The bigger 1 sags more and is less perky. It also has an areola much bigger than other breast, maybe twice the size. The smaller 1 is more perky. I'm not overweight or anything. The size is not like a whole cup difference, but it's still significant. Can my breasts even out & come close to the same size & will my areola get any bigger?

Answer: Breast asymmetry Without photos- and the benefit of physical exam- it is difficult to assess accurately. Generally speaking, asymmetry can be corrected surgically. Seek an experienced Board Certified PS for in person consultation.

Answer: Good question. Your problem is not uncommon, but that fact alone may provide you with little reassurance since you are still understandably concerned about your asymmetry. The good news is that this is almost certainly correctible in the hands of a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in dealing with breast asymmetry cases such as yours. The not so good news is that this is not likely to self correct and your development may not be complete, so it is difficult to say if your breasts will become more symmetrical or less so with time. While this is very personal and perhaps embarrassing for you, I would suggest you discuss this with one or both of your parents, or an adult sibling or guardian, and I recommend a consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon who can advise you not only on options but timing of surgery. Best of luck to you.
