Increase your breast size through surgery or the use of supplements.
Many women feel embarrassed or shy regarding the size of their breasts. Plenty of women would like larger breasts but can't afford surgery or are leery of herbal supplements. Learn the pros and cons of these breast enhancement methods to help you have a better understanding of your options.
Herbal Supplements
Natural breast enhancement is not a new concept, though the Western world recently has discovered the many benefits of using herbs for certain health purposes, one of which can be breast enlargement. Unfortunately, there are several herbal products on the market that claim to help enlarge breasts. These products often are just scams waiting to take advantage of innocent, young women. Not all, but many of these companies, especially those on the internet, have false before and after photos and tend to make claims that are untrue. These products also are not approved by the Food and Drug Administration, but don't let that be the sole reason for dismissing them, as vitamin supplements are not approved by the FDA and they still are healthy for our bodies.
Be wary of any product that has too long a list of ingredients, contains silica or ethylene glycol; both are artificial chemicals and in large amounts are harmful to the body. Do not buy these products online unless you specifically know the brand and are able to read the ingredients list on the website.
Using the right herbal breast-enhancement supplements may work well for some women but not for others. The challenge is not only finding one that works, but finding one that will work specifically for you. This method is best for women who don't want surgery. It's natural, painless and less expensive.
If you stop taking some supplements, your breasts will either return to their original size or you'll have issues with sagging breasts earlier in life than you should. The results from taking supplements is not permanent, which in itself is enough to cause many women to opt for surgery.
Breast Enhancement Surgery
For many women who feel insecure about their breast size, breast enhancement surgery is the option they choose. The surgery is permanent, though women do have to have their implants periodically replaced, typically every 10 years to prevent the onset of complications.
Complications, though rare, can occur with breast augmentation surgery, so it's best to tell your surgeon ahead of time about any underlying medical conditions, if any. When complications do occur, additional surgery may be needed. Complications are atypical. Twenty-five percent of all augmentation patients need re-operation as a result of complications.
Though breast augmentation surgery does increase breast size, it causes the breasts to look and feel unnatural. There is a period of recovery involved with surgery, typically one day before you can walk and two to three days before you can resume daily activities. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least two weeks. The surgery is incredibly expensive, costing on average between $4,000 to $10,000 total as of September 2009.
Both options have their pros and cons. Deciding which option is right for you is a task that should be handled with great consideration.
