Uneven arms
Hi,
The right side of my body is fatter than the left side. This is applicable to hands, legs, thighs and breasts. My hands and legs are visibly asymmetrical. My right leg looks as if it is swollen. I face difficulty in finding clothes that fit my right arm.
My maternal grandmother had a similar phenomenon where her left arms were bigger than the right ones.
I want to know if there is a surgical correction possible for this. There is no physical pain but I wish to look good and wear good clothes.

Get yourself checked by an Orthopedic surgeon for analysing root cause of asymmetry. Usually my suggestion is leave it alone.
