Your Question:

Dear Experts,

What does it mean if one of my boobs is bigger than the other one? Is there anything you can do it for?

The Answer:

Dear s2c4,

It means you're totally normal! While boobs come in pairs, they're not always a perfect match. Your two breasts can develop at different rates. This will even out eventually. In the meantime, keep in mind that the difference in size is usually only noticeable to you. If you feel really self-conscious you can pad one side of your bra.

Even after puberty is over, most women's breasts, like the two sides of our faces, differ a little from each other, but it's usually not noticeable to anyone else.

Hope this information helps!

Take care,
