Flat Chest
Whilst Keira Knightly manages to ‘work it’, a flat chest isn’t for everyone but Morrissey got it right – ‘Some girls ARE bigger than others’ and understandably this can get some women down. Flat chests are caused by a notable lack of breast tissue. It’s not really a health issue and women should be fine to breast feed despite it. There is no “cause” as such in fact there’s an obvious comparison with men who worry over the size of their genitalia. A flat chest is completely normal and fairly common. However, for all the talking cures in the world (sorry Sigmund) for some women only breast enlargement surgery will ease their anxiety – but remember, going under the knife should really be a last resort. Try forgetting the negatives and think about the fact that you’ll never have to deal with the much feared sagging that comes with old age and you’ll never experience the agonising back ache that goes hand in hand with a large chest. Furthermore padded bras and make up can work wonders in creating the illusion of larger breasts without the need to go under the knife.

Hi, i'm 14 years old. I have not started my period and i am very flat-chested and this really puts me down especially when all my friends have bigger boobs and have started. Whenever we go out i feel like i should have a jacket covering me up or put my cardigan over myself. I used really enjoy swimming but now i feel really awkward. Any ideas on how to help?
hi im 25 and of a large frame (size 20) i have had three children and had no problem with my breasts untill i had my second child and breast fed her, since doing so i have lost my boobs and am now only a small b cup but have a big back size so need ideally a 42b bra but cannot get them and have to wear a 38b cup which digs in round the back. i am very self concious of my breasts and more so because i am big,i have tried to loose weight and when i manage too i loose my boobs with it so weight loss isnt the answer to my problem. i have thought of seeing my gp but am worried that they will just tell me to loose weight or that they cannot do anything
