HOLY Asymmetry - Saint Louis, MO

I had what may have been described as the worst asymmetry this office has seen. I have dealt with this my whole life and have been absolutely mortified of ever having it looked at to see if it could be changed because I never wanted to remove my bra or shirt. I spent years hiding it and did a pretty good job of it because not many people knew. When I finally worked up the nerve to go in and have it looked at I was given a very honest response from Dr. Prada. He would do his best to fix my problem I just needed to have realistic expectations of the outcome. So. That was it. I was doing it. As of tomorrow I am 3 weeks out and couldnt be happier. He listened to exactly what size I was trying to accomplish and for me this wasn’t about huge boobs. This was about same size boobs. And I’d say from where they are sitting right now, the notice of difference is slight if any. I will be able to report back once they have settled more but as of right now, today, I am 100% glad I took the plunge. I can’t wait to wear v-necks, and halter swim tops and things with stripes. If you are asymmetric you will understand that. Granted this was never about what anyone else thought, I’ve never had a complain from a man (as if I give a shyte if I did ? ) but I have a feeling being less self conscious will make a world of difference in that area of life as well.
What I need to learn now, is posture. I have been hunching over for so long that I don’t even know what standing up or sitting up straight is. That has probably been the hardest thing in recovery.

I was easily a big B on one side, and the tiniest of an A cup you could be on the left.

I haven’t gotten to put on a real bra yet but Im guessing its going to fit and not make me feel like a mutant anymore.

Congratulations to you!!! Feeling comfortable in your own skin, no matter what people say, really does help with the confidence when it comes to body image. Once you have healed and are cleared you should look into something called Rolfing. It's a pretty intense form of massage but not in a relaxing way. In a way that helps with fixing people's posture. Good luck on your healing process!!

Ahh! Thank you! I am still working up the nerve to post pictures but to give you an idea I had 234cc to my right & 375cc to my left. I was absolutely completely lopsided. So really anything was an improvement. I just can't wait to figure out what size bra I wear!

Scroll through or post in the search for asymmetry, it will pull up others who have had similar situations. It is amazing and encouraging to see people's transformations, especially with stories like yours. When u r ready be courageous and post them...I'm sure it will help and encourage others!

I don't know what's normal or really what to expect but I can say I think my personal experience so far has been pretty good. As you can see, I didn't have much to work with beforehand.
