Q: My breasts are asymmetrical. The right one is larger than the left though the effect is not apparent from outside. I would like to know if there is any way to treat this? Is surgery the only option or is there any medicine that can cure this? In case of surgery, what is the duration of the procedure, its success rate and the cost involved? Where can I get the treatment?
A:I think you are worrying unnecessarily. Asymmetry of the breasts is quite common and if it is not apparent from the outside than you should not see it as a problem at all. Yes, surgery is the only but extreme option. The success rates are very good. You have to see a good plastic surgeon for the operation. This condition cannot be cured by medicines.
