Uneven breasts?
Ok so..I am a fifteen year old girl. I am really thin for my age, but I've always been self conscious about my body, as well. I noticed this when I was about twelve. My right breast is larger than my left. Do I need to get implants? Do I need to see a doctor? I talked to my mom about it, and she thinks it will eventually grow, but its been three years now, and I really don't think it will, but I don't want to end up with asymmetrical breasts! That is embarrassing. Please help. Advice is much appreciated!

It is completely normal to have one breast slightly bigger than the other. One breast bud on one side may start growing first then the other starts a few weeks to a few months later to catch up. Once your breasts are finished growing, they will be pretty close to the same size. Breasts usually stop growing in your late teens to early twenties. You should also know that breasts are not totally symmetrical and many adult women have one breast slightly bigger than the other. If you’re really worried about your breast size, talk you your doctor or gynaecologist.

It is normal for one to be slightly larger than the other and quite a common thing. No need to worry about it.

No two breast are exactly the same size there will be a small difference in size between each breast. If there is a large difference a 1/2 cup or more then you may want to talk to your doctor about this.
There is a medical term for this problem that at the moment escapes me. In general the fix is usually plastic surgery to augment the smaller breast. At 15 years of age this is probably not the time to have this surgery done. Since this is a medical problem the insurance company will most likely pay for the surgery to correct it as they would any birth defect.
In general though they will only pay for it one time. Since you are still in your developing years I would suggest waiting until you reach age 17 or 18 and the doctors are confident you have developed as much as you are going to.
Then find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon if you want the surgery done the best way possible. Most states allow any doctor who has done a residency in Plastics to practice Plastic Surgery.
A Board Certified Surgeon is someone who has done a Fellowship in this area of Surgery and is Certified by the College of Plastic Surgeons to Practice Plastic Surgery.
My Wife had a Mastectomy and had Breast reconstruction. We were fortunate enough to be directed to a Board Certified Plastic surgeon for this surgery. With a lot of Breast augmentation it is easy to spot the augmentation as the prosthetic ring is visible under the skin. Not on my wife. In fact I'm her husband and I have to remind myself which is the factory original and with is the replacement part when we are making love. Even feeling them I cannot tell the difference. She had a great surgeon. Her other doctors, our family doctor, the general surgeon and her Oncologist are all amazed at the results of her reconstruction.
I firmly believe it is because we were fortunate enough to have found a Board Certified surgeon that my wife is happy with the results as am I.

It may change some but if there's a noticeable difference now while you are looking at yourself nude, it can very likely remain that difference, even though both sides grow larger. I have a daughter age 22 who is noticeably smaller on one side when unclothed (she showed me once as a teen) however knowing this, I have never noticed that she seems smaller on one side when dressed. Clothing seems to distract from this. The only different is if its noticeable in a two piece bathing suit. In that case I would suggest getting one that comes with inserts in the cups and removing it on the side that is larger to even things out visually. Otherwise, no one will ever know, except a boyfriend or husband someday.
Yes, a guy will still fall in love with you, even just as you are with two sizes in breasts. Its more noticeable, and likely only a half cup size in different. If you have over a cup size different, and the weight different causes you to make up for it by changing posture, your back or muscles may end up with chronic pain until things are evened out. However it is seldom that a female needs to see a doctor or get implants as its perfectly natural to have uneven size in a chest. And it doesnt affect breast feeding later if you so choose.
The biggest deal is what a guy will think. Young guys may be fickle and immature, but by time they mature and hit 20 or so, many have no problem with it. My daughter has a boyfriend who loves her no matter the difference. Other women have commented on a natural breast gallery site of their breast photos with their blurbs. Many with uneven size or who are flat chested have shared that their man loves them as they are and besides the fact, still finds them sexy and attractive. Here's that site:
