I received a concerned email from a teenager who was almost out of her teenhood and had one breast that was considerably larger than the other – by about one cup size.  She said she had asked her doctor whether she could do anything about it and he advised that she was most likely still going through puberty and breast growth and they may catch up to on another, but that there was really nothing to do until they both finished growing. 

She, understandably, is very concerned and self conscious about her breasts being noticeably different sizes, and wanted to know if there was anything she could do naturally that would help the other one catch up to the larger one, to make them more symmetrical and the same size.  Here is how I responded:

I know this seems very difficult and you feel very self conscious about it, I actually have a friend who had the same condition, and she ended up getting surgery to correct it with small breast implants (see our page on breast implant alternatives – this was not in our response to this young lady though, because this is not going to work differently on both breasts), filled to different sizes for each breast, to make them look even.  This is actually a very common problem in women, so please don’t feel like you’re alone.  In fact, one of mine is ever so slightly larger than the other – most women have a slight difference, just to varying degrees.
 
Unfortunately, there is no natural way that I know of that you can get one breast to grow more than the other.  There is no guarantee that if you used some sort of external cream or anything and massage that your one breast that is smaller would grow larger.  Since you are still most likely going through the growth phase with your breasts, you may need to simply wait this one out, and if when you are fully grown and your growth stabilizes, they are still noticeably different and it is a real issue for you, I would consider talking to your doctor about cosmetic surgery options to get this corrected. 
 
Like I said, this is a very common problem in women, and varies in it’s severity, in fact many women do choose to get surgery if it bothers them a lot, so please do not feel alone.  I’m sorry I couldn’t offer you more options, but this is a case where natural methods simply cannot be guaranteed to make both the breasts grow the same amount, which would still leave you with the discrepancy in breast size.  Good luck, and thank you so much for writing. 

Got this reader question, here it is!  Names withheld for privacy reasons.

Question : I am a young looking 4X years old and very fit. I always have looked about ten years younger than I am and my mother is the same way. I also eat well and exercise quite abit. I am 5′X and 1XX pounds, and I am a small 34 C bra size. I am round and firm, but I would like to be fuller and larger.

Also, maybe other women are not bothered by this, but I would like to have larger nipples or somehow make them more sensitive and full. When I was younger they were very sensitive and I could not wear little seamless bras under thin tops or my nipples would poke through if I got cold or excited. Now that does not happen as much. My doctor said he does not feel it is hormonal. I actually feel less sexy and that bothers me as well.

I am wondering if the massaging and use of the good breast enhancing creams or massage and the good pills, might not only add some size to my breasts, but also perhaps I could do something massage wise or the pills or cream might help the nipple problem also? Do you have any experience with that or suggestions? I had one child at age XX and breast fed until he was ten months old.

Back then my breasts became huge and I think I wore a 36D, and my nipples also became much larger, darker, and were very large and erect all the time. As the months went by after I quit nursing, things “went down” and over time have gone down more. I am lucky to have stayed firm however and also about the same size.

I will do anything that sounds reasonable and safe to look better to myself first and others secondly. I work alot of hours with a job and also volunteer work, and I have friends who pay alot of money at spas and even to doctors to look better at my age and younger.

I just would prefer to go the more natural route if possible. In advance, thank you so much for you nice web site and the service you provide to many women all over the world I am sure.
Sincerely,

XXXXXXX

Answer :

Your questions are not silly at all, in fact I’ve had the same question about nipples before from other readers.  Unfortunately I do not know a specific method to get the results in your nipples you are looking for, but some people who have tried the Bountiful Breast product have said that it has changed their nipples somewhat. 

Of course, with each individual there is no guarantee that with the enlargement of the breasts you would also experience larger or more sensitive nipples, but it is possible.  Take a look at here at a review and forum of the Bountiful Breast product, and then you can go to their site from there and see how other people’s experiences were with the product.  There is no massage technique I am aware of that will make you nipples larger or more sensitive unfortunately.  Good luck, and I’m sure you look fantastic as you are

This question came from a person who wondered if they could just purchase a bunch of the herbs traditionally used in herbal breast enhancement products as a sort of “do it yourself” herbal breast enhancement deal.
