Breast Augmentation - Non Surgical Options
By Michael Russell
In this 3rd and last article on breast augmentation we're going to discuss non surgical options for women who are reluctant to go under the knife.
The safest of these is herbal supplements. They are for the most part natural and actually healthy for you. Unfortunately the results derived from these are subtle and too often, none at all. How you respond to herbal supplements depends entirely on your body chemistry. For women seeking a large increase in the size of their breasts, herbal supplements are not going to do the job.
After supplements we have what are called breast shaping systems. These are devices that a woman uses on a regular basis, mostly to exercise the muscles of the breasts. The long term goal is that eventually with proper increase in muscle strength and thickness the size of the breasts will increase. While many of these devices have been FDA tested and approved there has been no documented proof that they produce any real increase in breast size.
Next we have indictable fillers which are actually cutting edge technology. These are safe soft tissue fillers that are made up of stabilized hyaluronic acid or polyacrylamide gel. These are much safer than the silicone injections of years gone by. However, because this is fairly new, it is hard to say for certain what long range side effects may be lurking in the future of women who have had these fillers injected into them.
Next we have breast firming creams. These creams usually contain a plant extract called Pueraria Mirifica that only grows in Thailand and has a high concentrate of phytoestrogens. These are not hormones but supposedly they provide the same benefits as oestrogen. Oestrogen is what increases breast size during ovulation along with the birth control pill and doctor prescribed hormone supplements. However, there is little documented evidence to show that these creams really do much of anything at all, considering that direct injections of Retin-A do not produce much of an increase in breast size, which they should. So firming creams are probably more hype than anything else.
Then there are the women who don't want to take any kind of drugs, have any kind of surgery or for that matter do anything to their bodies at all and still want to have larger breasts. Well, for these women there are the breast forms, or what are commonly referred to as "falsies." For the most part, these are comfortable and can be worn with confidence that they're not going to come loose and fall off at the wrong moment.
We live in a society where we want to have the benefits of whatever it is we want but don't want to have to pay the price for it, whether it be monetary or otherwise. Women want large breasts but don't want surgery. Or they do want surgery but don't want any side effects. The woman who don't want surgery want an alternative option that will give them the same dramatic results as surgery. Unfortunately with breast augmentation you get what you pay for and then some. The most expensive procedures are also the most risky. The cheapest procedures, while being much safer, don't give the same results.
One of these days we're all going to just learn to be happy with what God gave us.
