Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement
Non-surgical breast enhancement is an industry demonstrating mixed results and varying degrees of legitimacy. There are countless products and services available which claim to increase or reduce breast size, or firm, lift and tone breast tissue. A few of these noninvasive techniques and products might offer marginal to moderate enhancement results, but some only work due to the
placebo
effect. Many other enhancement modalities are simply fraudulent and should be avoided at all costs.

Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement / Enlargement
The most common non-surgical
breast enlargement products,
treatments and
supplements
include:
* Breast slapping
is a government sponsored therapy option available in Thailand.
* The Brava System
is a method of using tissue expansion via vacuum effect accomplished by a special system of rigid cups and a microcomputer regulator. Other varieties of
breast enlargement pump
do not work as well and might actually do more harm than good.
* Hormone therapy
might increase breast size, but can have known and unknown negative side effects.
Birth control pills
also use hormones to produce breast size changes in some women.
* Breast enlargement herbs
can be fresh, in pill form or in topical form. Some herbal mixtures might actually increase breast size marginally, but do not expect huge gains from herbal sources.
* Breast enlargement pills
are marketed under many names. Most of these are simply a waste of money, but some might have some actual enlargement potential. Be careful of any potential risks or side effects involved in use of these products.
* Breast enlargement creams,
lotions, salves, oils, etc, are readily available and are mostly a scam. There is a very slim chance of any topical enlargement product demonstrating good permanent results.
* Laser breast treatments
might create mild to moderate breast tissue growth.
* Electrostimulation
is commonly used to induce breast tissue growth. Electrotherapy is a very controversial modality and is not proven to actually do much, despite being used to treat literally hundreds of physical conditions.
* Breast Enlargement Hypnosis
has been proven to be able to increase breast size in many patients. Results might be temporary or permanent.
* Prosthetic breasts
and clothing accessories can be effectively used to create the illusion of larger size when dressed.
Padded bras,
push up bras,
silicone breast pads,
bra inserts,
or
breast forms
are all effective at increasing breast fullness. Although these products are useful, they do not offer any benefit when nude.* Gaining weight will often increase breast size. However, there is no way to determine where gained weight will appear on the body. Increasing breast size at the cost getting fat is not a healthy option for most women.
Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement -
Reduction and Lift
Once again, some non-invasive therapies and products are available to help reduce breast size, or lift and tone large
saggy breasts.
Some of the more common of these non-surgical options include:* Topical products including
breast firming creams,
breast reduction creams,
lotions, oils, etc. Permanent lift effect or breast reduction is not likely from topical product usage. * Herbal and pharmaceutical
breast reduction pills
claim to be able to decrease or tone breast tissue. Some might offer marginal results while others are completely ineffective. Buyers beware with all such products… * Pushup bras and bra pads will help to provide the illusion of higher lifted breasts while dressed. Minimizing and sports bras might help to control and de-emphasize large breasts. Obviously, neither will have any effect when the apparatus are not in use, such as when nude. * Herbal mixtures might be able to provide some breast reduction, but do not hope for much. Breast lift via herbal products is highly unlikely.
* Laser breast lift
treatments might provide mild to moderate uplift for some women with smaller breasts and mild ptosis issues. * Electostimulation is often marketed as a breast tissue toner and lifter although there is little, if any, proof that it works at all. * Weight loss will produce smaller breasts, but might lead to a hollow breast appearance and more
ptotic
and
stretch marked
skin.
* Exercise
is a good way of reducing fat in the body, therefore slowly reducing breast size. Pectoral exercises are valuable to support the breasts and extensive chest muscle work might help provide a small lift effect for women with smaller breasts.
Recommendation on
Non-Surgical Breast Enhancement
Making anatomical changes via a non-surgical breast enhancement method is possible, but it can be a tricky proposition. Many of the options offer results which are barely noticeable to the eye. Other options are expensive and still only offer moderate results at best. A few are real gems for certain women with specific anatomical criteria. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these non-surgical treatments and products are virtually ineffective and unproven. Be very careful not to waste large sums of money on any unknown therapy or product. In addition, be aware of any potential health issues which might occur as a direct or indirect result of any of these non-surgical enhancement options. If you are looking for a reliable and verifiable method of achieving noticeable breast alteration, consider talking to a
cosmetic surgeon
about how breast surgery can give you the body you truly desire.
