Title: Uneven breast growth
Post by: BellaAntigone on August 30, 2015, 08:22:10 AM
Don't get me wrong, I love that I have them now, but the girls are coming in a bit unevenly :/ anything I can do/wear to balance them out?

It is very common to have uneven breasts. Just have to learn to live with it,  or get surgery, but some people only get it after surgery so no guarantee that will work either.

Not sure how you'd even them out. It's a common issue for genetic women as well trans women but I do think for pretty much everyone they do even up eventually.

Thanks for the reassurance, I thought it was common! I don't know if it's noticeable to others but it certainly is to me XD

Breast massage can fix it, when applied more heavily on the smaller side.  Sometimes they sort it out themselves over time too.

Chances are, if you are like me, you are the only one taking notice.

Asymmetry is perfectly normal. I don't think I've ever seen a natural pair that was perfectly symmetrical.

I hate to crash in, pardon me. But I qualified for this one, Darn! I am only six mos in HRT and I am already packing a 38 b cup :o My mother and sis are really huge and they say they never had the problem, I do, and the smaller one has a slightly bloody discharge, real light. I would not have even noticed but I was massaging it firmly. I am going in on the 21st for labs, gonna talk to em then. Till then i am not gonna worrie about it. Ironic, I never got on HRT for all that! but i got it I know cry me a river Clear. I am androgynous by choice being two spirit by nature, I was overwhelmed mentally. A dying alcoholic/addict. It was not until I was diag w/ HBS and interviewed. Were hormones recommended, HRT saved my life, I don't mind the girls so much my hair is over my shoulders now, so i can kinda hide the unevenness a loose shirt helps and a sports bra. I might mention I had major shoulder reconstruction on that side too 20 some yrs ago and the mussels are in different places too ? anyway it is a pretty small difference AS another posted I am prolly the only one who knows, I so try to not be self-obsessed . I am just concerned. Thanx Clear.
