Embarrassing Illnesses

Hi, I cant believe how many other girls & women have this problem too.Im 30 & have lived with this problem since I was about 12-13.My right breast is about a D & my left is about a b.Ive recently seen my doctor who was fantastic & she referred me to a cosmetic surgeon who is going to put an implant in my left breast & uplift my right so they match.Im having the surgery done in 4 days so I will keep you posted.Wish me luck!! XXX

i'm 18 years old, i noticed my breasts were uneven from the time i started getting them a few years ago. it never used to bother me until up to about 2 years ago when it started to bother me. my left breast is about size B cup and my right breast a size A cup...the right breast is also shaped kind of funny my form my areola it seems to stick out a bit...it really bugs be and i wish there was an option besides surgery that can cure it.

Im 16 and have had this problem since i was 14 i got the confidence to go see a doctor when i was 15 about this problem and i have been given a amoena which helps even out my breast and its just sits in my bra so no one even knows its there or i have a problem they also do swimwear to so i can still feel comfortable and confident if i want to go swimming so i you have this problem to go see your doctor and you may be refered to a breast clinic also and you will get an amoena free of the NHS. so dont let it get you down you can always sort it oout when your older and dont need to worry about it know.

Hi my name is Nicky, i am 42 yrs old and have virtually no breast tissue in my right breast and a little in my left. I have always been like this and long to feel womenly while i still can. i have had 5 children but didn't have to buy bigger bras. I did breast feed three of them for varied lenghts of time, so i should be gratefull for that. Please can you help as i can't afford the prices for cosmetic surgery.

Im 18 and my right breast is a B cup and my left is barely anything at all, i found inspiration from this video and have finally plucked up the courage to go and see a doctor. ive always dreaded wearing bikinis and as for boys, well ive always avoided getting too close to them, it really affects my self esteem, you just feel inadequate and unwomanly, it has been great hearing about other womens struggles with this and has made me feel like im not alone. to you ladies out there my support goes out to you!

I am 18 an have had this problem since I can remember. I was lucky to have close friends who I confided in about it an realised I wasnt the only one. My 'big left' is now something that although I wish I didnt have but something that im not gona let get me down. I have had a few sexual partners an none of them have ever cared about my breasts infact men who like big breasts are catered for an men who like small breasts are too cos ive got one of each ! Dont let it be a problem just make it part of you.

Hi Again, I totally agree with the last comment. It's been 3 weeks since i had breast reconstruction for my asymmetric tulip breasts. My surgeon has done an amazing job in reshaping, uplifting, reducing my breasts however the scaring looks bad. They said that will fade in time to come. On one side i have no sensation or feeling and consequently i have been unfortunate to get a complicated wound. The surgeon did warn me about this before hand. Like the last lady said.... ok i am a lot happier with the out come of the surgery but i still act like i still have the condition. For example i cross my arms...i wear baggy tops.. i still feel ugly and unattractive!! I need gok's help or something! It's ok having the surgery and going through all that but the way i feel inside is very unconfident! The worst thing is... it's written all over my face. I also think the media like this show should be a more on going thing. I've got to say it did give me an urge ( and my mum) to see a doctor and lucky for me i was placed on a waiting list to have it sorted out.The media should share more illnesses like this to the public. I for one would be happy to support anybody needing any advice and where they could get the best professionals help. I think for me, it would help being able to share it with somebody. It would probably make me feel much better as nobody understands how it mentally and emotionally scars you. XxX

Hi im 28years old,fistly, WOW, I didnt realiase how many of us women have been affected by this crappy thing!!!! I noticed my breasts werent even when I was about 16, i grew up in a small town, and i told know one, not even my mum, i never had a boyfrined until i was 21! when i left the town, i went to a randomn doctor for a referral to a plastic surgeon in sydney, had the consultation then went on a public health waiting list for approx 12 months!my left was an A cup my right was a d cup, so i got an implant in the left breast, this changed my life!!!! I have been able to live "normally" for the past 8 years!!!I finaly told my mum 5 years after my operation, she was so upset that i hadnt told her earlier. The one advice to tell the younger girls is PLEASE TELL SOMEONE,there is no need to do this alone!!!! x

I am 18 and have noticed a huge difference in the size of my breast over the past few years. I feel that it would be too awkward to go to my male family doctor (who I have known for years) about this problem. I would say that my right breast is a D cup and the nipple points to the right and my left is about a F cup and has a normal pointing nipple. I have tried putting two cup boosters in my smaller side of my bra, yet there still remains a huge difference. I usually place my bra half way up my breast to try to make my breast look the same size. This problem makes me worry about whether or not people can tell the difference in my breast size and from time to time people often say "whats that" and I pretend my boob has just fallen out my bra a bit; but really the difference is showing and I need to tuck it in more. I hardly go on holiday/swimming so haven't had to find away of hiding this problem. However, I will be going away with friends and family in the near future and do not want people to see the big difference in my cup sizes. When I was younger, I had in-nipple on my right, smaller breast and don't know if this is a contributing factor. Can someone please give me a idea as to what I should do?

I am now 27 but when I was in my teens I really thought I was the only person who had this problem. I was a DD cup on one side while the other didn't develop at all. I truly thought I was deformed. I really feel for anyone who has to go through this as i know how it affects every part of your life and your development from a girl to a women. For me, I couldn't get physical with boys, I couldn't go on holidays or wear certain clothes.. Everything ended up being a big secret. I didn't realise how common it was back then as there was no Internet etc. When I was 18 I got my first breast augmentation and I have had 3 operations since. There is still a big difference in how my breasts look but in a bra you wouldn't see the difference so that to me is heaven after years of shoulder pads and chicken fillets shoved down my bra! All I can say is that it does get better if you just keep on working at accepting yourself, whatever way you are.. Nobody's perfect. Don't hide away from who you are, you have nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't matter what issue or how many issues you have, if you just work on accepting yourself all those issues will slowly fade and you'll begin to see the beautiful woman you've become(wonky boob and all!) If I could do it, believe me, anyone of you reading this can. X
