Title: One breast bigger than the other.
Post by: lisadear on November 01, 2009, 06:56:41 PM
Anyone else experienced this? Did the other catch up? My left is a full A cup, but the right is an AA or so. Anything I can do to help the right catch up?

Normal. Most women notice that. They are rarely exactly the same.

Yep. It's pretty typical that one breast is slightly larger than the other; kind of like one foot is usually bigger than the other. It's usually not too noticeable. In your case, if you think it's noticeable, then lightly pad the other side to even them out. If you're still early in HRT, they may even out as you continue to grow.

Hi Lisadear.  I've read that this is quite normal.  My left breast is a bit larger and fuller than my right.  I'm guessing (and hoping!) that it will balance out a little more over time.

Nope, not likely!  ;)

I am 35 years post and 60, most of my female friends are around my age and everybody is pretty much the same - a bit different on one side than the other. Go figger ....

This really common among gg's & t/s during the growth stage, but they usually even out to a reasonable degree. The human body is not symetrical to begin with.

When I went in for  top surgery recently, I'm FTM, I had one that was a B and one that was a C, at age 40. I think it is pretty common and mine were always a bit different in size.

Hi Jane,
I am hopeful for a bit more development in the right because I've been on HRT for only three months.  I figure I still have a couple years, if I'm lucky, for the right to fill out a bit more.

I'd be happy if I got breasts, no matter what size!
