Many American women are insecure or dissatisfied with the shape, size, or appearance of their breasts. Small or disproportionate breasts can be due to varying factors: genetics, weight loss, child bearing, or breast-feeding. Unfortunately, there aren't really any "tips" to breast enlargement. You have to decide whether you want to undergo a surgical procedure to permanently enlarge your breasts--or, if you want to make them APPEAR larger by wearing a push-up bra or other enhancing clothing.
Surgical Options
Augmentation is a successful and common procedure. In fact, according to the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, over 350,000 breast enhancement procedures were performed in 2008 alone. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved breast enhancement by use of saline or silicone implants. Before you make any appointments, research the procedure and identify a surgeon who is board-certified (the American Society of Plastic Surgeons is the world's largest certifying organization for this field and offers a referral service on their website). Next, make a list of educated questions. Then, make a consultation appointment with the surgeon. These appointments are usually complimentary and will allow the surgeon and his/her staff to answer your questions, examine you, and make recommendations on the size and type of implant appropriate for your body. Remember, don't be afraid to ask questions! You may be a good candidate for surgery to enhance your breasts if you are healthy and have a clear medical history.
Methods To Appear Enhanced Without Surgery
Ah, our old friend, the push-up bra. Although versions of this bosom-boosting bra have been around since the early 20th century, the newest push-up bras are designed to lift your breasts and create that "did she or didn't she?" cleavage. Clothing companies, such as Victoria's Secret, also offer "bra tops," which offer hidden padding to suggest bigger cleavage.
Future and Pending Methods of Breast Enlargement
The future of breast enhancement may be changing. In a few years, patients seeking larger breasts may have the option for augmentation without implants. European scientists have begun developing and studying the method of injecting hylauronic acid into breasts to increase size and correct irregularities. However, this method is not permanent, and early results show that the procedure may need to be repeated every two years or so. Again, this procedure has not been approved in the United States but may be an option in the future.
