Hey, I have the almost the same problems as most other girls here, I am 16 and my left breast is much smaller than my right. Its very noticible without a padded bra. I was wondering if the different sizes are 'normal'. I know that most womens breasts are usually slightly bigger than another but not this much.

I was also wondering if losing weight might help with size? after all i am bit overweight.

Hi, im 14 and my left breast is smaller than my right by at least a cup size its noticeble when i take my bra off but not when i have it on but im worried as im trying to lose weight and that this will carry on and there will be a huge difference in my breast size, also when i feel my breasts for lumps there is like a lumy tissue underneath and im worried about it is this normal please help.

im 15 years old and my left breast is substantially larger than my right by a few sizes. They are also quite saggy i think for my age and are not a perky and firm as other girls.

I also have stretch marks around my breasts which ive had since i was 12. However they are beginning to fade but when light hits them at certian angles you can see the depressions where the dark cracks used to be.

My breasts also get this sharp ringing pain all around them but this has only happened a few times. im scared i might develop breast cancer since my nan has had it but is now in remission.

If i examine my breasts i can feel this weird kind of hard and slightly bumpy tissue inside but i seem to feel it more in my left breast (the bigger one). Its easier to feel on the underside of my breast. is this normal?? is this what i should be feeling? is this what breasts are made of?
please help.

im 16 and i have the exact problem. im getting surgery off the NHS when im 18 to make them 'normal'. i hate having one boob bigger than the other, its always noticable when i wear tops, although the doctor supplied me with a 'chicken fillet' so it looks less noticable. hopefully when i have this operation they will look normal. i had in my head that they would end up like victoria beckhams but never mind ey?!

i'm 13 and my boobs have been the same size for a long time – they aren't that big and i'm worried they won't grow anymore, as some of my friends have quite large boobs, and also so does my mum, is there anything that i need to do or know that can help them grow?

I am 13 and really concious about my chest, and i am worried that this maybe what i have.My chest area i have big nipples and small breast and one has started to grow quicker than the other, im really worried and want to know if this is normal for a girl my age?

my breasts are exactly the same as the girl in the video and i do not want surgery is there anything else i can do ? please help !!

Im 17 and im paraniod about my breast as the nipples don't sit up right in the middle of the breast, but they point down to the floor. Ifeel that that they aint normal, is this fine??

Hi. I'm 15. I noticed that the lady in the video had quite droopy/saggy breasts, as do I. They do not 'sit' like normal breasts and my nipples point downwards. I was just wondering if this is normal as the lady the video had a breast realignment on her right breast which made it a better shape. I'm starting to feel really self-conscious about the way my breasts sit compare to everyone else's. This may sound silly, but is there anything you can do to help your breasts grow into a better shape?

I'm 15 and I'm really down about the size of my breasts. My left one is 3 cup sizes bigger then my right one. I've noticed that most people's left breast is the smaller one not the right like mine. It really gets me down and it's so noticeable that other people can even see how different they are. What can I do? Will they even out as I get older or will they always be like this?
