What causes breast asymmetry?
Breast asymmetry is attributed to genetic changes and the influence of hormones in puberty. The development of the breasts depends on estrogen in young women, while during the development itself, breast asymmetry is a completely natural and normal phenomenon that is later corrected and the breasts become more or less the same in size. The two occurrences in a woman’s life that also change the shape and size of her breasts are childbirth and the menopause. In some women, breast asymmetry after childbirth or the menopause is corrected, while other women experienced it at that very time. Asymmetry can also cause breast cancer or Poland syndrome, which is a congenital deformity and inhibits a symmetrical development of the organs, tissue or muscles of the chest. Sometimes asymmetry can be corrected by pregnancy or childbirth.
