Hi everyone! This question is for the ladies: Is the breast that is on the same side as your non-BPI arm bigger???? Mine is and I've always figured it was from using my left arm so much more. I've even thought about a breast augmentation to even them out. Do you only have to pay half the price for that???!!!!!

Hmmmm Erica that is a good question...

We did talk about canoe races ''''''' right bpi's cannot ride together or we go in circles!!!!

As for me I go for the two fer... on the breast... I think one is always larger then the other and I would guess for us the one that is non bpi is even larger....

lol... could you see us all lining up for it....LOL

I think if you only get one done you should bring along a buddy...save $$$$$$$$$$

I think if we were men it would show one smaller...

You're so right! I love the idea of the canoe race! And hey...if you know anyone who needs half a boob job, let me know! The 2 for 1 deal

In responce to the breast issue... I have never had any dissability but I have one side a cup larger than the other. The side that is larger is on the opposite side of my writing hand...

Hi Erica.

I have always been almost one whole cup size bigger on the OBPI side. When I brought the issue up with my doctor, I told HIM that I thought it was from not using the under arm muscles on that side. He said I was correct.
I had a mammogram report that said one breast was larger and contained more fatty tissue. Now I make sure to tell the technicians doing the test that one breast is larger due to the BPI and to write that down in the questionnaire going back to the doctor reading the mammogram. I've never seen it written up as an "issue" since then.
Take Care,
