My boobs have a visible size difference (to me anyway) and one is perkier than the other. But I like 'em both for their various characteristics and they have always been well received by those I allow to play with them. Dont sweat it, you won't die, you'll be just fine and dandy 😊
Thank you so much, this was really nice to hear actually, I hope I’ll get over it too2 -

Yeah they were perky when small, saggy when big. I just hope they’ll somehow bounce back, otherwise I’ll literally die
you literally wont.
you will live with it. USe shapewear or push up bras or have a boob job if you can find the money. But you won't DIE because you don't like your tits.11 -
Because you’re only 18, it’s very likely that your skin will snap back to some extent at least, a little while after the weight loss. It’s common after weight loss to have skin be a bit saggy, but depending on how young and moisturized your skin is, it usually does tighten up. Your skin is definitely in the best category for this, being so young. Really, don’t worry.3

Apparently mine were mostly fat. As soon as I lost weight, they went along with it. I have a strong chest and visible pec definition, but I also am deflated and sagging. Pumping up my pecs does nothing because the pecs are above the sagginess.8

Same! But... I do love seeing the muscles when I take off my bra and those pesky things get out of the way. Hahaha8 -

Ah I’m sorry to hear0 -
I don't meet your requirements as I'm a 38 year old who's had 2 kids first I expressed for 18 months with, second I breastfed for 4 years
I'll tell you now the only people to make comments about my big not so pearky boobs are women, men have never had anything but compliments
Work on the muscles by all means to help with your body shape but please spend time looking at yourself finding all the good points to who you are, learn to love your body for the amazing things it does every day12 -
I really think it all comes down to genetics because that determines how dense your breast tissue is, which determines how much they fluctuate with weight gain/loss. When I get my yearly mammogram I’m always told I have very dense breast tissue. Mine haven’t budged an inch since I was 15 and have remained just as voluminous through pregnancy, 2 years of breastfeeding, 43 lbs of weight loss and now well into middle age and peri menopause at age 46. Countless times others assured me they’d deflate through all those events but it never happened, they just remained exactly the same. Bodies are gonna do what bodies are gonna do. Don’t stress too much about it since you cannot control where your body takes off/puts on fat. What you can control is getting to a healthy weight overall. IMHO the most you can do is wear nice supportive bras, care for your skin and work on your posture which can make a world of difference not just for your chest but for your entire body, it certainly has for me. Best of luck to you!7

I have to wear a back brace on and off as my spines curved thanks to posture (my boobs appeared at 7 years old, I learnt to slump forward to disguise them)
When I have the brace on, girl where did those boobs pop out from 😂5 -

I've you've never needed one it's understandable you wouldn't know what it is
Mine is rigid over my back with a wide strap that comes round the front from under bust down to my stomach with additional straps to move my shoulders back to a better position
I also have braces for my feet as my joints are lax
My daughter grew up wearing leg braces to bring her feet and ankles into the right position
Hypermobility syndrome runs in my family so keeping good posture is so important6 -

One of the hardest things for me to come to terms with was having great boobs, then having babies. They got huge (for me) during nursing, and when that was done... Looked (to me) like deflated water balloons.
But you know... As much as I have had a mostly hate relationship with my boobs.. NOT ONE MAN who has gotten to play with them has ever complained. The problem is in MY head.
It's hard to come to terms with change, and as a young adult, this can be even harder to cope with... But change happens. As we age, things sag more, and stretch, and wrinkle. It's life and wisdom and years added to our skin suits. We can work out and do lifts, exercises, sit up straight, pick a nice bra... All things to help us feel better... But in the end.. There are just some things we cannot control.
It is my hope that you (and I) will see our sexiness and appeal as more than needing a perfect body. Our appeal comes from within... And like I said earlier... They rarely complain once the fun begins. Haha
This. Is. Awesome. - and so spot on.🙌1 -

What makes the biggest impact is pregnancy (regardless of whether you breastfeed or not) and genetics.
I unfortunately never had perky breasts, even as a teen. Genetics. 3 pregnancies, breastfeeding (which does change your nipples)...well let's just say they are at the other end of the spectrum than perky.
I was up to a 32N, now I am a 30DD/32D.2 -

I hope you’re okay and doing good and the most important thing is that you have given both to babies1 -

Thanks - I'm doing fantastic! I was obese when I had N-cups, they were BIG and heavy. I was able to carry all my children, and breastfed them all - it's good for both their health and mine. Now I've lost weight and I'm maintaining a healthy weight and an active lifestyle. I know that without surgery I'll never have perky boobs, but that is what they make bras for! Not that many people have perky bras without a support garment...4
