Question
My sister has 2 children now... they were 15 months apart.  Her first was only able to breastfeed for 5 months before she had to go back to work full time and couldn't keep up, and shortly after she found out she was pregnant for her daughter.  Her breasts were a D cup and a B cup when she stopped.  When her daughter was born she breastfed her for about the same amount of time.  Now she is 18 months post breastfeeding and she still has 1 B cup and 1 D Cup, should she be concerned?  Her doctor had told her she didnt qualify for reconstruction because her insurance didnt consider it a "deformity" because it happened after a pregnancy and was considered a "natural"  Does this sound normal... 18 months seems like a long time to be still a B and D Cup.

Answer
I would have to say I have never heard of a woman having such a big difference between breasts. Now, not saying it can't happen but usually its a much smaller size difference. I would suggest she get a second opinion for sure.

Good luck to her. It is definatly not a common occurance.
