According to what I watched it is not unusual for women to have unequal breasts. Usually the difference is very small and not something that is noticeable when dressed in say a bathing suit or unpadded bra. This is called Unequal and Tubular Breasts. Correction for this is through breast augmentation or reduction.
At 18 years of age you may not be finished developing. For some the body continues to grow and develop as late as 21- to 25r years of age. I would suggest you speak with your doctor about the condition and then possibly a plastic surgeon.
Will insurance cover surgical correction? This will depend on the type of insurance coverage you have and how unequal your breasts are. You could learn more about this by typing “unequal breasts” into a search engine. I did and found a number of references you may wish to look at.
The most important thing for you to do is: If the size difference in your breasts bothers you, you should seek a medical opinion as to why and what you can or should do to correct the problem. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
NinjaNeer answered Monday August 9 2010, 9:09 am: Breasts do their own thing. They grow when and if they feel like it. At this point, they might not grow any further until you have children, unless you gain weight. It all depends on the rate that you mature at.
That said, I have a few friends who are lopsided. Many women are. It's really not a big deal, though. As far as guys are concerned, breasts are breasts, no matter whether they match or not.
If you're concerned about looking funny, you can get great bra inserts and just wear one. Look for ones made of silicone, because they feel just like the real thing. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
