Why do women have different sized breasts?

Why do women have different sized breasts? This is a very common question, after all, regardless of who it is, breasts are the subject of a lot of attention.

They are a source of food for almost every human being when they are born. It is a symbol of femininity. An erogenous zone. Many people's sexual desire. Support for a beautiful neckline. Simply a part of the body that women care about. But they are also sometimes the cause of postural problems and back pain. No matter what your focus: the key is always to take care of breast health. This is where the issue of asymmetry between them comes in.

There is a theory that the left breast is usually larger due to the positioning of the heart: the beats create a greater stimulation of the muscles, but this has not been scientifically proven.

Is it normal to have breasts of different sizes?

Yes, it is normal to have breasts of different sizes! Not only the breasts, but the entire body is asymmetrical. He doubts? So make a joke:

• Take and print a photo of yourself from the front (it can even be a 3×4);
• Cut the photo to length;
• Place a mirror perpendicular to the right side of the photo. Notice that the person you graduate is different from who you really are;
• Repeat mirroring with the left half. See that the formed person is completely different from the previous one.

This game serves to show how our sides are different from each other. These are sometimes subtle, sometimes sudden, differences. You may also notice how one hand is different from the other, have one leg shorter than the other, or different facial features on each side. So why not be normal to have one breast different from the other too?

What can cause breast asymmetry?

But in addition to the fact that we are not symmetrical, there are some situations that contribute to the difference in breast size. For example:

• Puberty: When the breasts begin to develop, it is common for one side to increase faster than the other. This size is balanced during growth;
• Breast-feeding: the more milk the breast produces, the greater it will be due to the ducts for production. Feeding the baby more with one breast than the other can also cause asymmetry, after all, the breast that is used the most will also be the most stimulated to produce milk;
• nodules: Nodules, which are small lumps, may appear on the breasts. It does not always indicate something very serious, as it can be caused by blows, for example. These nodules usually appear as fibroadenomas in women under 30 and if they do not disappear, they can be removed through surgery. Nodules can also be cysts, which appear regardless of age, being most common between 35-50 years.

What to do to treat asymmetrical breasts?

 If you are dissatisfied with your breasts due to asymmetry, the first step of all is to consult a breast specialist. This step is very important as it is only possible to make an effective correction if the cause is identified. Only the doctor can make an accurate assessment of the reason for the asymmetry through exams, and then, a corrective action can be proposed with safety and result prediction.

Generally, to alleviate breast asymmetry (when it is not caused by disease), women resort to two options:

• custom bras so that one side is larger, compensating for the smaller breast size;
• Use of silicone prostheses, where one of them is larger to make the two breasts the same size;
• Larger breast reduction, equalizing breast size.

It's worth remembering: the most important thing is always health, so look for specialist and trusted doctors!
