Breast development. I'm 17, will my breasts ever even out?

Question

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?

Thank you for your question.  If you are looking to decrease the asymmetry from one breast to another, then you have several options.
1)  You can reduce the larger breast with liposuction
2)  You can enlarge the smaller one with fat grafting or an implant
3)  You can enlarge both but use different size implants
I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options in more detail.

Hi. I hardly doubt that they will even out. Breast asymmetry is the norm and not the exception. When the difference is signinficant, then surgery may be indicated. No photos were posted so, I can't give you a more accurate assessment. Good luck. Dr. PG

Thanks for your question. It is difficult to determine without in-person examination. It is unlikely that they will even out. You might want to consider breast augmentation if it truly bothers your. This should be done in the hands of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.All the best,Dr. ResultsMiami, FL

Thank you for sharing your question with us. You are still in a stage of development, and maybe, your breast will growth but in an asymmetric way, that's why in a future you will need to make a "Breast Symmetrization Surgery" with silicon implants of different volumes. Remember that you are a teenager and we will need your parents permissions in case of surgery. Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

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.
