Has this happened to anyone else?

A year ago my dd, who is now 18, told me that she had one boob bigger than the other. Tbh I feel absolutely awful for not noticing, but we are not the sort to get naked in front of each other. She’s always been a private person and wouldn’t even walk around in her undies, so I’d never actually noticed. Tbh it wasn’t that noticeable, but now that she’s filled out more it’s noticeable in tight tops. She has long thick hair which she wears forwards to cover it. She can’t go braless as you can definitely see it then.

I told her we’d have to get it checked out and see what can be done (surgery I guess) but she’s mortified at having to show her boobs to the doctor and keeps putting it off. I mentioned it to the doctor when I was there myself and she said there’s a three year waiting list for that sort of thing.

We went shopping yesterday and everything she tried on she couldn’t buy. I feel so sad for her as she should be enjoying clothes, not trying to hide, but just won’t do anything about it.

This is literally a non issue, so many women have different sizes boobs. It’s so normal- surely this isn’t new information to you.
And no one notices unless a) pointed out and looking carefully b) youre topless.
You suggesting surgery has probably not helped, she needs reassurance from you that we’ve all got lopsided boobs to varying degrees, and no one notices or cares, and that she doesn’t need to feel self conscious or worried.
As parents and more life experienced adults, we need to help to normalise imperfection, and placing less value on appearance, in young people, to counterpoint the horrible bombardment of unrealistic physical perfection they are constantly bombarded with these days.

Yes mine are different sizes. So are my feet. I wouldn’t dream of having surgery.
