Should I Worry That One Breast is Noticeably Larger Than Other?
Many women are self-conscious about their breasts. They feel that they are too big or too small or too saggy or too full. Many women also wonder about the symmetry of their breasts. Most women notice at least some size difference between their breasts, and for some this difference is noticeable. Many times this is normal, but in some cases, a larger breast can be a sign of a problem.
