What to Do about Asymmetrical Breasts

For women who have uneven breasts, there are those who consider their breast asymmetry as severe, and there are those who are not bothered by the slight difference between their breasts. It is not easy to spot an uneven breast when a woman wears a regular bra unless you see them topless.

Some women don’t lose sleep because of the uneven growth of breasts, and there are those who cannot function until they understand as to why their breasts are growing like that. Surprisingly, you will notice quite a number of women dealing with a slight issue with their breast asymmetry.

Breast asymmetry is not a new thing, it has come out in the open, and we have seen it from celebrities like Keira Knightley and Jennifer Lawrence who have talked about their uneven breasts. Jennifer Lawrence actually took a topless photoshoot of her uneven breasts; a decision that made other women feel comfortable about it.

To some women, having an uneven breast is common, but understanding why it happens is something that has been a mystery to most. To tackle the mystery, we are going to look at four of the reasons as to why breast asymmetry happens.

Breast anatomy

Breasts are essentially mammary glands. Each breast is made up of 12 to 20 lobes that come from nipple-like-spokes, and each breast weighs 7-10 ounces on average. Each lobe has a central duct that opens up at the nipple to allow milk to exit when breastfeeding is done.

Since we now have a general understanding of the anatomy of breasts, let us look at some of the causes of breast asymmetry.

Four reasons as to why breasts are uneven

Anatomic variations that are normal

When you look at most of our anatomical body parts, they are not fully symmetrical and its normal to everyone. Starting from the eyebrows to the size of the palms, the shapes and sizes are usually uneven. The differences are not noticeable at first sight, but when you make a keen observation on them, you will notice the uneven nature. Now, if you did not grow uneven breasts after your puberty period, then they may have grown due to uneven breast growth variation.

Changes in hormones in puberty

Changes in hormones can cause one breast to grow faster than the other one; when the breasts stop growing, you will have uneven breasts at the ned. Even if it’s a worrying trend, there is nothing wrong with it, and you don’t have to be really worked up about it.

Breast lumps

When a tissue grows within your breasts, it is referred to as a breast lump. Although the breast lumps can be cancerous, most of them are not cancerous and they cannot harm your breasts. Even though there are benign breast lumps in most women, they are common in women who between the ages of 35 to 50; once the women are past menopause, their lumps usually disappear.

Fibrocystic breasts can also cause breast lumps. The fibrocystic breast is a condition that makes the breast feel like a rope or lumpy; it is a common condition that does not cause any danger to the female body. However, if breast pain worsens, you should visit the clinic for a checkup.

Lastly, breast lumps can be caused by fibroadenoma which are non-cancerous lumps that affect girls in their puberty period and women below 30 years. Fibroadenomas vary in shape and sizes, and they can be removed surgically by a breast surgeon in case the lumps increase in size over time.

Breast cancer

Breast cancer becomes a major concern especially if you have had even breasts that transition to uneven breasts as you grow. If you become aware of these changes, it is important to visit your doctor to take care of cancerous cells before they become too serious.

But how can you resolve the issues of uneven breasts? We are going to look at three ways of evening out uneven breasts.

Three ways to even out your asymmetrical breasts

Breast massage

One of the easiest, safe, effective and inexpensive ways to even your breast is to use breast enlargement massage technique. For this process, no special tool is used.

Breast massage works because it increases the circulation of blood in the breast to ensure that the phytoestrogens that your body is getting are absorbed by the receptors in your breasts.

You can also activate prolactin using breast massage; prolactin is a hormone in women that helps in mammary gland development and in the enhancement of the fat stores in your breasts.

To carry out this method, you only need to learn a few breast enlargement techniques that need to be performed daily, with a concentration on the smaller breast.

Using a Noogleberry breast pump

The noogleberry breast enlargement pump does not look very exciting, but it is effective in its purpose of enhancing the breast naturally. The purpose of the pump is to increase blood circulation to the breasts. When swelling happens in the breast, it causes the creation of new tissue that grows fully in the breast over time to make it increase in mass.

The noogleberry pump needs to be used on a regular basis, but the results are not immediate. You may have to use it for a couple of months before you notice an improvement in the small breast. When pumping happens, your body is instructed to increase blood flow to the targeted region to create the intended shape and size.

During the first few weeks of pumping, you will notice your skin and tissue stretching out. It will start to swell and shrink again; but as pumping continues, your breasts will develop new tissue for the swelling to stay put.

Breast enhancement creams

Daily use of a breast enhancement cream is a non-hormonal way of increasing the size of your breasts. You can use the creams comfortably if you are taking bovine ovary and Pueraria Mirifica because the cream is not hormonal.

To even out your breasts, you need to apply adequate amounts of cream on the smaller breast. Apply the cream two times a day on the smaller breast and make sure that you don’t use it on the larger breast.
