I am 17 and have quite a large chest - I'm about 5ft8 so it looks more or less in proportion, but they aren't even. One side is a D and the other a DD. I know this doesn't sound like a huge difference bbut at that size it shows, more so now than before because it's not just a matter of size anymore, one side hangs lower. With clothes on it isn't too noticeable, though recently I think it has become more noticeable, but this could be because I've gotten much more paranoid about it. With my bra off its much more noticeable. It really gets me down, my boyfriend almost gets angry about it because it causes me to critisize myself a lot when he says he sees absolutely nothing wrong and it upsets him to hear me slag myself off, but I can't help it, I'm not saying these things for attention. It makes me feel really self conscious :(
ever scince i have hit puburty i have had one boob smaller then the other but its a masive difference with one being a D cup and the other being a dubble A cup i have been to a number of doctors and they basicly said theres nothing that can be done and i just have to live with it. Know at the age of 20 i feel like somthing needs to be done. over the last 5 years i have refused to go on holidays with friends because i dont want to wear a swiming costume, and i feel like i cant ware anything feminin like all my friends. it has actually got to the point where its making quite a big inpact on my relationship as well as i still wont alow my boyfriend to see me without my overly padded bra on even though we have been together for nearly 3 years, i dont know what else i can do. can anyone help?
Hi Aimee I am a 49 year women who had the same problem but not so severe, I was married for 26 years and my husband loved me how I was but I was so embarressed and always wore cardigans. I had an insurance policy come through last year and in december I had a breast alignment I had one breast reduced to match the other. I feel so much better already. My doctor recommended a Doctor Kat and I had my op at the Priory Hospital Birmingham it cost 3,774 which was very reasonable. I hope this has helped.
Im 15 years old and I am worrying about my boobs. I have smaller ones than any one else. It feels I have the same boobs that I had in year 7, Im now in year 11. It has been really getting to be recently and I just want to know if there's anyone else out there that is just like me or feels the same. I feel like im not normal. One of my boobs is smaller than the other and im really worried about it. Please help. Thanks! xx

I'm in year 12, and I feel the exact same as you, I've always been a B since year seven. I only started to really change since now, that's probably because I went on the pill, I didn't change cup size but I noticed they looked fuller and a tiny bit bigger. But I wouldn't recommend going on the pill to get bigger breasts, the pill comes with down sides for example I got very sore breasts, the tissue hardened so i got lumps in my boobs, very sore to touch, depression and mood swings. The only thing you can do is wait and see if you grow, your only 15 and you got at least 10 years fo them to get any bigger! But I always wanted bigger boobs, I told myself once im 18 I'm getting a boob job, but now I'm in a relationship and researched boob jobs I don't see why people put them selfs through such pain and discomfort for bigger boobs/back pain! Just be comfortable with what you have, no matter what their isn't a problem, plus most guys prefer smaller natural breasts to fake ones. xx
Since puberty my breasts have grown pointing down instead of growing 'normally'. They arent horrificly different in size, but are almost triangular in shape and the area around my nipples are bigger than anyone elses ive seen, almost swollen-looking. Im a 34B and only 18, but my self confidence has hit rock bottom! Would i have to see a doctor about this or will they correct themselves in time as im aware that they may still be growing??
im a 32 b on my left side and a 32 d on my right side, my friends have started to point it out to me and its embarising cuz u do get laughed at! i have been to see my gp when i was 16 (i am now 17) and they couldnt offer me any help they just said they should grow to be the same size in time. its really uncompfortable exspecially when my friends point it out when i have clothes on so it must be noticeable. i was woundering if u could offer me some adice?
i'm 17 too and i'm a 32 c on my right side and a 32 a on my left. i imagine it must be harder as your boobs are slightly bigger than mine but i manage to cover my difference up by wearing a bra with padding in one side. i know how you feel, it is embarrassing and makes you feel awkward when all your friends seem to have normal sized boobs! i'm hoping that when i'm a little older and have the money i can have the same surgery as the video above, then hopefully finally i will feel better about myself!
im 35 G cup on my right side and F on other , all ways been dif sizes.breast feed 5 kids. ive got used to it ,grown to love my boobs.my boyfriend love them to :)
I have had this problem since the beggining of puberty, all in hope that one day i will wake up and they will be what i regard as 'normal'. Mine are not extremely far apart or thin and small.. I am a 32G and my breasts are almost triangular, my whole nipple area seems swolen looking and my nippes are flat, unless cold ofcourse. It brings me down every day and i am only 17 years old. I think about it an unhealthy amount, is surgery the only way out?
I'm 15 years old and I have uneven breast, it is really getting to me as I can't really cover them up as one breast is a size 34DD and the other is a C!some of my friends have pointed this out to me( that my boobs are not normal)it is really getting to me and I was wondering what I could have done to solve this problem.
I have similar, one side is a DD and the other a D / Big C. It might even out a bit, I found that when I started having sex my boobs had a growth spurt (PLEASE NOTE I am not encouraging you to go out and have sex as a cure haha!) but thy may get more even then?
i am 16 and have not grown any breats :( its jus flat like a mans with just nipple's. its so embarrising for me!i have been with my boyfriend 11 months and he has not seen my breast and ima scared to tell him i havent got any. also i have started my peroid so i dont understand? please help me!!!
I've heard you need to reach 35kg to start developing and getting a period. If you train a lot and are smaller it make take longer for you to develop. Go see your GP because they can give advice on this.
