Question
I had a small fat tumor in my left breast and was removed. because of it my nipple didn't grow. I was unable to feed my baby from it due to undeveloped nipple. I fed my baby by right breast and now the right breast has enlarged. I am very embarrassed to go to society because my breasts are two sizes. Anyone can see the size difference and it has become a great problem for me. I'm desperate by this problem. Please let me know how to equal the size of both without enlarging the small (left) breast as I don't like large breasts.

Answer
I don't know how to do that without enlarging the other side. over a few months the side you nurse from will regulate and they will become more even. However, You are doing what is best for your baby and the people who judge you, arent worth your time anyway...  Its best for you and the baby and it is temporary... take lots of deep breaths, maybe talk to someone at a bra store to see if padded bras would hep them look more even... at least in the mean time.
