I have found something about this :
Breast asymmetry is a difference in breast size or shape, or both of the mentioned. Most commonly the left breast is different from the right in size and shape. In some cases this is unnoticeable and needs no surgical correction. Sometimes, surgical intervention is needed to equalize the breasts.
Some say that nature loves asymmetry in everything. Most subjects that are paired usually are not identically the same. However, sometimes asymmetry can be noticeable too much, which could lead a person to certain psychological problems. Breast asymmetry is one of such examples.

Breast asymmetry is a difference in breast size or shape, or both of the mentioned. Most commonly the left breast is different from the right in size and shape. In some cases this is unnoticeable and needs no surgical correction. Sometimes, surgical intervention is needed to equalize the breasts.
If your breasts are asymmetrical in shape or size, you should feel your breasts looking for any growths that could enlarge the breast. If you find any lumps or formations, you should consult a doctor. Also, bear in mind that scientists proved the link between breast asymmetry and breast cancer.
Breast asymmetry usually occurs due to genetic changes or certain coincidence due to which these organs start to grow differently. The growth of the breasts is controlled by estrogen hormone in young females. Breasts start to grow about 2 years after the appearance of the first menstrual bleeding, period. The duration of breast growth usually lasts from two to four years. During that time it is normal that breasts may differ from one another in size or shape. During the growth period breasts often become of the same or very similar size or shape. If that does not happen, it is not likely that the size and shape of the breasts will change until pregnancy or the beginning of menopause.
