Breast Augmentation - Non Surgical Options
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.
