If you're a woman with asymmetrical or uneven breasts, you're certainly not alone. In fact, breast asymmetry is the norm for most women, and even Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence has spoken openly about having uneven breasts. However, if your breasts are noticeably uneven, this can understandably lead to you feeling self-conscious, especially when it comes to wearing bathing suits or tank tops. Fortunately, there are plenty of options for achieving symmetrical-looking breasts--both naturally and surgically.

Wear a Padded Bra

If you'd like to explore non-surgical options before turning to a breast augmentation, consider starting by making the switch to padded bras (if you haven't done so already). Padded bras will make your breast asymmetry less noticeable by adding the appearance of volume to the smaller breast without drastically changing the look of your larger one. If the size difference is major (a cup size or more), consider buying bras with removable padding. This way, you can remove the pads from the side of your larger breast and insert them into the side of your smaller breast for a more balanced appearance.

Invest in Silicone Pads

Sure, wearing a bra with padding might help with everyday attire, but what about those days at the beach or pool? You can't wear a bra while you're swimming, so how can you achieve the appearance of more symmetrical breasts in your bathing suit? Actually, it's easier than you think. Many companies sell removable silicone gel pads that you can pop into your bathing suit top. This is a great way to give your smaller breast an extra lift; just be sure to invest in waterproof tape to hold the gel pads in place or sew them into your swimsuit top so you don't have to worry about losing them in the water (how embarrassing!).

Consider Breast Augmentation

If you can't overcome the embarrassment of having asymmetrical breasts and want to feel more confident in your own skin, then you might want to consider breast augmentation surgery. By having this procedure done by an experienced and board-certified surgeon, you can achieve the symmetrical look you want without the need for pads or silicone inserts. Plus, you can feel more confident even when you're not wearing clothes. If this is something that interests you, find a plastic surgeon near you and schedule your initial consultation today; after all, you're under no obligation, so it can't hurt to look into it.
