Breast Enlargement Without Surgery

Breast enhancement surgery typically involves saline breast implants or a breast

lift procedure that adjusts the size, texture and shape of the breasts. However,
a lineup of pills, creams and breast enlargement pumps claim to provide similar
results without the need for surgery.
Is breast enlargement without surgery too good to be true? Here’s a closer look
at some of the latest treatments and options available:
Breast Augmentation with Herbal Supplements
Pills that stimulate hormone production have been linked to increasing the size
of the breasts, but there is little evidence that these are a safe solution for
breast enhancement. Herbal extracts such as fennel, saw palmetto, wild yam and
fenugreek have long been used in herbal medicine treatments to balance the hormones
but CancerHelp.org reports that many of these herbs are not supported by published
clinical trials. Most contain a high concentration of phyto-oestogens, the chemicals
that can stimulate breast tissue production and will ‘trick’ the body the body into
thinking it is pregnant.
There may be other benefits of taking herbal supplements for breast augmentation.
The Department of Health Care Sciences at George Washington University School of
Medicine published results of a study about herbal breast enhancement supplements
in 2003, stating that, “the effect of phyto-oestrogens on breast tissue isn’t really clear.
Some early research suggested that women with diets high in phyto-oestrogens have a l
ower risk of breast cancer.” (Source: CancerHelp.org)
Breast Enhancement with Exercise
You can tone the abdominal muscles, increase the size of your biceps and even
tighten up the glutes with a healthy exercise routine, so why not increase your
breast size too? A personal trainer can help you learn exercises that build up
the chest muscles underneath the breasts so you tighten and tone the entire area.
This may prevent drooping and creates a more youthful, toned look. Shoulder
press resistance exercises, palm presses and even light pushups can help you build
up strength in the chest area to provide a sturdy foundation for the breasts.
Breast Enlargement Pumps
Breast enlargement pumps are now available over the counter with varying
(usually temporary) results, but the BRAVA system, one of the latest nonsurgical
breast enlargement systems on the market, claims to provide long-lasting results.
BRAVA also stimulates breast tissue growth and requires the patient to wear small
plastic domes for at least ten hours per day in order to work. The entire treatment
process runs for ten weeks, and the system is designed to increase the breasts by
at least one cup size. Does BRAVA really work? The company behind the BRAVA system
reports that results are dependent on biological factors, overall health
and duration of use of the system.
Breast Augmentation with Macrolane
Hyaluronic acid is already used extensively as an anti-aging and wrinkle removal treatment
Restylane, Juvederm and Captique are the leading injectables that can enhance the skin and
reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Since hyaluronic acid can also boost
collagen production and increase the volume of skin tissue, it is available as an injectable
known as Macrolane for breast enhancement. Marcolane can increase the size of the breasts to
create a smooth, natural appearance. Macrolane was created the Swedish company Q-Med, and
the procedure is widely available in Europe and Japan. From herbal supplements to breast
enlargement pumps, there are several options available for increasing cup size – without
going under the knife. Still, most of these treatments cannot imitate the results of breast
implants or other surgical procedures and may offer only minimal, temporary results.
If you’re looking for a permanent way to increase breast size, surgery may be the most
effective way to get the results you want. Learn more about breast augmentation procedures
