writes:Im 24 years old and my left breast is considerably larger than my right one - about 2 cup sizes larger. I have read on the internet, and from other girls with the same problem, that this is totally normal but it does not look normal and has dented my confidence completely. I have small boobs anyway and find it very difficult to find bra's that fit and I can never go topless on the beach or even in front of a man because I look like a freak. People have started to notice and say nasty comments. I cant afford surgery but I just dont what else to do. It is really getting me down.

 Everyone has flaws - nobody is perfect. In my case, I have pectus excavatum. I have a minor case, but it still looks kind of creepy sometimes. If someone cares about you, it shouldn't matter. I have several women in my family that have appearance problems with their breasts - some say they are flat-chested and feel a loss of confidence, one family member had breast-reduction surgery because she felt they were too large. As for what people have said, I dunno what to tell you - some people are just like that.

My friend has the same problem so she looks for bras that have removable padding & then takes the padding out of one side & puts double the amount of padding in the other side. It's a lot cheaper than surgery & although it doesn't fix the problem completely it looks so much better.
Also, I know you say people have been making nasty comments but I'm sure the problem is bigger to you than it is to other people. It's just one part of your body & I'm sure it wont put the right guy off!

reader, anonymous, writes (30 September 2007): Well my sister had the same problem. She had one breast larger than the other and they were both very small. Apparently she too felt very self conscious about it. So she got plastic surgery and now her breasts are larger and they are both equal in size. She loves her new breasts. And she feels really self confident now.
I personally don't believe in plastic surgery but if it is affecting you as much as you say maybe it is something you really should look into. I don't know any other way to remedy the problem except to get over it and just be happy with yourself. But it sounds like you are having a tough time doing that. And from my sister's own experience I can tell you that she is so happy with herself now.
There are many doctors who could put you on a payment plan if you have financial difficulties. You could pay it off as you go. But be sure to get a GOOD doctor that is highly recommended. So that is definitely an option and one that would solve the problem completely and effectively.
But again if you are strong enough to be happy with yourself and overlook people's comments then that would be great too. Everybody has flaws. Nobody is perfect. And some people have way bigger flaws. It just depends how you want to go about treating this situation. Either option I think would be great.
