Breasts of different sizes are surprisingly common problems. More than half of women have one breast larger than the other. Read the following tips if you are uncomfortable with different breast sizes and want to make them symmetrical.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Obtaining Symmetry by Masking

1. 1 Drape your hair over your shoulder to the smaller part of your chest. If you have long hair, use it as a mask for less than half of your breasts. This creates a kind of "pillow" that makes it appear that both of your breasts are the same size.
2. 2 Wear asymmetrical clothing. Asymmetry is an ideal tactic to hide unevenness. It will work similarly to shoulder hair. In an asymmetrical blouse, one left half of the garment differs in cut from the right one. This can be a collar or hem, in which one side is longer than the other. Find an asymmetrical blouse that you like. The asymmetry will help balance unevenness in your breasts.
3. 3 Wear a sports bra and a tight-fitting blouse to help smooth out any swings in your breasts. A sports bra and a tight-fitting blouse will squeeze and support your breasts slightly downward. This way you can minimize any visible unevenness. It is best to choose a sports bra that fits perfectly to your larger breasts. This will make it possible to better support her.
4. 4 Change your pose. The more distant the object is, the smaller it appears, and the closer it is, the larger it appears. Changing your posture will help make your breasts look the same. This method works regardless of whether you are in a public place, or completely naked at the moment.
   • In a crowd of people, try to keep most of your breasts as far away from them as possible at all times. If you are sitting or standing, then in this case, you can turn so that the shoulder on the side of your smaller chest is turned closer to the interlocutor.
   • In photographs, you should take the same poses and put your hand on your thigh, which is located at a greater distance from the lens.

Method 2 of 4: Create symmetrical breasts with pads

1. 1 Put on a padded bra. This method will correct the situation only if you have a slight difference in size. Cup bras are available in shaping, contouring and padded bras, all of which maintain the natural shape of your breasts, making them appear the same size. For maximum effect, buy a bra that is sized to fit your larger breasts.
   • Since there are several types of bras, choose one that matches your breast shape. The most popular choice is a padded bra, but depending on your breast shape, it may not work for you. Since the bra has pads of the same size, wearing it can only aggravate the problem, making the breasts even larger, while maintaining disproportion.
   • If you have a slight difference in size, shaping and contouring bras may be the best choice, as they shape and support your breasts, as opposed to a padded bra, which only makes it fuller.
2. 2 Wear a bra with removable pads. You can make your breasts symmetrical with a bra with removable pads. This can be a great choice for you, as it allows you to leave or remove the pad on one side. You can leave the pillow in the cup of the smaller breast and remove from the cup for the larger one if necessary.
3. 3 Choose the pads that work best for you. There are different types of pads that are made of silicone, foam, water, and gel, depending on your breast size and your feel. Place a double-sided adhesive tape between the cup and the pad to keep it from slipping.
   • Silicone, water and gel pads are heavier than fabric or foam pads. If the difference in breast size is small, try using foam or fabric pads.
   • If one breast is significantly larger than the other, do not enlarge it further with heavy pads. It is possible that the size will visually appear the same, but one breast will be much heavier than the other.
   • Buy special beach silicone pads if you are going to swim.
4. 4 Order an individual bra tailoring. This is an expensive option for solving the problem of different breast sizes, but very effective. You can go beyond the usual store bra. The cut, fabric and size of the bra will be ideally suited to your parameters. For a little savings, you can choose the right size pads and sew them into your bra.
5. 5 Get a special bra after your mastectomy. If you have undergone a mastectomy, that is, removal of a breast or other surgical operations on it, a special bra will provide you with the necessary comfort and even visually restore its removed fragment to the desired size. Due to the possible sensitivity of the breasts, this bra is sewn with special inner pockets, into which you can insert pads or prostheses to give your breasts the desired shape without squeezing them.

Method 3 of 4: Changing Breast Size Through Feeding

1. 1 Determine why one breast is larger than the other. Breasts can often become different sizes during breastfeeding due to the fact that one part of the breast produces more milk than the other. If this happened to you, first you need to find out the reason before you start using different feeding methods. Initially, you should make sure that you do not need to worry and there is no need to see a doctor or pediatrician.
   • The biological factor can be one of the reasons. You may have more milk ducts and alveoli in one part of your breast. Your breasts are made up of alveoli, which is why your breasts produce milk. The more productive milk ducts and alveoli produce more milk, which makes your breasts enlarge. The shape of the nipples can also vary, so your baby may prefer one breast over the other.
   • If your baby gravitates towards one breast, make sure it is not due to your or his injury or illness. The child may have an ear infection or something else. If your child has just been vaccinated, they may experience pain at the injection site. In addition, if the breast becomes infected, the taste of the milk may change and the baby may refuse it altogether.
   • Perhaps you prefer to feed your baby with one breast, consciously or subconsciously offering him the one that is larger.
   • As a result of surgery or bruising of the breast, the amount of milk may decrease, which will lead to a decrease in its size.
2. 2 At the very beginning of feeding, it is necessary to give the baby a smaller breast. Follow this rule, as babies take the first breast harder and eat more at first. This will stimulate her to produce more milk.
3. 3 Feed smaller breast more often than larger breast. Try to get your baby to eat more often from the smaller breast. The more milk the baby sucks out of her, the more milk she will produce. After 3-5 days, you will notice how these breasts will increase in size, as a result of which your bust will become symmetrical. Once you have achieved the desired result, you can offer the baby both breasts in turn.
4. 4 Use a breast pump to stimulate increased milk production. If your baby finds it difficult to take smaller breasts or prefers larger breasts, use a breast pump that can stimulate the production of more milk. After feeding your baby, use a breast pump on the smaller breast for 5-10 minutes to stimulate milk production.
   • There are many different types of pumping, and not all of them will work well. Talk to your lactation specialist, obstetrician or doctor for advice on a good breast pump.
5. 5 Encourage your baby to eat from the smaller breast. There are various ways to teach a baby to breast, even if he is not interested in it.
   • You can try several different postures while feeding.
   • Breastfeed in a distraction-free area, such as a quiet, dark room.
   • Try squeezing your breasts with your hands to increase milk flow. While your baby is eating, place him on his stomach and squeeze his chest with your hands. Pay attention to your baby's sucking reflexes and try to catch a rhythm. You can also use your fingers to press on the upper breast, just below the collarbone, and then slide your hand down towards the nipple. This movement will increase the flow of milk to the nipple.
   • Try breastfeeding your baby while she is half asleep and not crying.

Method 4 of 4: Changing Breast Size with Surgery

1. 1 Decide if you are ready for surgery. Disguising with bras is only a temporary solution to the problem. If the difference between the size of your breasts is very significant, then a temporary solution to the problem is clearly not for you, and if you are really worried about such a disproportion, then cosmetic surgery may be the only way out. Surgery to change the size of your breasts is a very serious step. It is an invasive procedure that can be quite painful and risky. Consult a specialist if you feel like you really need surgery.
2. 2 Install implants. There are many ways to surgically fix breasts. Implantation, also known as breast augmentation surgery, is one of them. The implant is a silicone pad filled with saline, another neutral liquid or silicone, which is inserted into a pocket formed by the surgeon between the gland and the chest. The choice between a liquid or gel cushion depends on personal preference. A liquid implant will give the breast as natural as possible, while a gel implant will make it firmer.
3. 3 Reduce your breasts. You can also shrink your breasts if they are too large. Breast reduction is the pumping of excess fat from one or both breasts. The surgeon will likely move your nipples to fit harmoniously into your new breast size.
   • If you decide to have surgery, be prepared for drainage tubes to protrude from each breast cavity for the next 48 hours to allow blood and fluid to drain out of the wound.
   • You also won't be able to go to work for a while until your breasts have healed. You must quit smoking at least one month before your surgery.
4. 4 Pump fat from other parts of your body into your smaller breasts. Breast augmentation with fat is similar to the implantation procedure. But doctors use your own fat instead of a silicone pad.
   • The surgeon will perform liposuction to remove the required amount of fat from other parts of the body, such as the thighs, buttocks, and abdomen, and then inject it into the smaller breast.
   • Recently, more and more women are choosing this particular method of breast augmentation, as it makes the bust as natural as possible. In addition, doctors consider it an excellent alternative to surgical implantation.
   • Unfortunately, this method has its drawbacks. The results of the procedure are temporary.Your body will break down the fat and eventually your breasts will return to their original size.
   • Reoperation can cause the appearance of calcified lumps, which tend to further develop into cysts. You must have enough excess fat for doctors to perform the surgery, so a patient who is too thin is unlikely to be a suitable candidate for such a procedure.

Tips

• Wear extra pads in your bra to smooth out unevenness.
• After placing the pads in your bra, you will need to re-tighten the straps so that it fits well on you.
• Use duct tape for bras to keep the pads from slipping out of the bra.
• Always match the size of your larger breasts. The pads compensate for the space in the cup of the smaller breast. If the bra is too small, the big breasts will bulge out too much, and this is not at all attractive.
• Saline implants are considered safer than silicone implants if you are considering surgical implantation.
• Cosmetic surgery is a risky and permanent form of breast augmentation, so you should think carefully before making such a decision.
• Carefully check the reputation of the surgeon you have chosen for the operation.

Warnings

• Breast surgery can lead to scarring, affecting the sensitivity and blood flow to the nipples, and the ability to continue breastfeeding.
• Implant risks include: rupture, leakage or displacement of implants.
• If you are undergoing fat-pumping surgery, remember that after liposuction, you may develop scars, bruises and sagging skin. Such a procedure can also lead to calcification of the lumps and the formation of a cyst.
• You may need to have repeated breast surgeries if the initial intervention has not worked.
