Hello my friend,

I understand your concern and I will do everything I can to help you. Our bodies are not made completely symmetrical. It is perfectly normal to have one side of your torso thicker than the other or one breast larger than the other. This does not indicate anything medically wrong. It is just how your body is made and it should be something that is hardly noticeable. Sometimes when your retaining water certain areas or sides of the body will hold more than the other and this could also be due to that or just how your body is distributing fat in certain areas. The only thing that would indicate a problem is if you feel a bulge in a specific area from 2-6 inches only then this could be a hernia. In that case you would need to be seen by a doctor to be properly diagnosed.

I hope this helps. Please click on accept otherwise please request more information. I am always here for you.

Take care

Sarah :)
