Here at The Avoca Clinic, we meet lots of women who are not happy with their breasts. One of the reasons for this feeling tends to stem from the women having two different sized or shaped breasts. They think that they are the only ones in the world with this ‘problem’. Even though they have been told that having two different-sized breasts is very common, they feel that the difference in the size of their breasts is a cause for concern and embarrassment.

Doctors, women’s magazines and even bra-fitters in department stores will all tell you it is normal for breasts to be slightly different from each other in size.

We see breasts of all different shapes and sizes every single day. As Ireland’s breast experts, we can confirm that it is rare to see perfectly identical breasts on any woman. Chances are, it is the woman herself who is the only one that to notice the difference in the breasts. There is nothing strange about it …we promise!

So why are my breasts different sizes?

During puberty, the hormone oestrogen stimulates breast development. Budding breasts don’t always receive the same amounts of the oestrogen hormone, and this leads to one breast growing at a faster pace than the other. Often, breast asymmetry evens out as women progress into adulthood. Research suggests that 25 per cent of women have two slightly differently-sized breasts [source: Peterson]. However, we believe the real number to be higher.

If there is a sudden change in size or shape or another drastic change in your breasts, talk to your GP as this could be the sign of an underlying health issue.

What can be done even out the size of my breasts?
