A member asked:
If you have breasts that aren't symmetrical does that mean breast cancer risk goes up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!: Breast Cancer is a common disease. So you should do a Breast self examination once monthly and have a physician check you and examine the Breasts once yearly. An annual Mammogram is recommended. These are just routine good medical check up guidelines for you. Your breast Asymmetry would not pose any extra risk of breast Cancer.
