It’s actually very natural to have breasts that are not exactly the same. There’s a well-known saying in the cosmetic surgery world that breasts are ‘sisters not twins’. Each breast has its own shape, texture and characteristics and two breasts on the same body may not be very alike. Although it’s most common to notice a difference in size, there may also be differences in the shape, position on your chest, volume and even position of the nipple.
What causes different sized breasts?
Pregnancy and the hormonal changes that go along with it, often cause different sized breasts. Other times of hormonal change can also cause one breast to grow differently to the other. This can be as early as puberty, when one breast starts to grow before the other. Changes to breast symmetry can occur during the menstrual cycle and also during menopause and hormonal treatment.
What can you do about different sized breasts?
There’s no medical reason to do anything about different sized breasts. But if the difference in appearance is affecting your mental wellbeing or self-esteem, or if it is causing functional issues such as difficulty in fitting in a brassiere or clothes, then it may be worth discussing for symmetrisation procedures.
You can choose from a few options to achieve even breasts. You may choose to augment or reduce one breast. You may like to augment both to an even size. Or you can adjust the height of the nipples to be even without any augmentation or reduction. Mr Ridha will be happy to listen to your concerns and advise on which procedure might be best to give you the results you want.
