Breast Augmentation Surgery and Effective Temporary Alternatives

Want a bigger chest? Breast augmentation, be it by surgery or more temporary means, is a common concern of many women. While some methods can make a dramatic change to your physique, other products can be a waste of money. Whichever method you choose, however, can help you increase your confidence, fit into clothing better and help you attract a fair bit of attention.

Herbal Enhancements
There are ads plastered over billboards, newspapers, the internet, and especially late-night television advertising herbal supplements for breast augmentation. It may seem tempting, seeing busty women over the moon and swearing by a simple bottle of all-natural pills. However, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Herbal enhancements are unlikely to cause any change in bust size. While harmless and potentially good for your overall well-being, there is simply no evidence to suggest that they can boost the size of internal tissues. If you think about it logically, if herbs increased tissue size, several parts of your body would enlarge, not just your chest.

Topical Creams
Cream and lotion is about as effective at breast augmentation as herbal enhancements. While they can possibly help the texture and improve the outer appearance, a cream cannot possibly penetrate deeply enough into the skin’s surface to create internal changes. These treatments can also be overpriced for what you are actually getting. Stick with your lotion or cream of choice and leave any bust-boosting potions on the shelf.

Lingerie
While not a permanent solution, push-up bras and padded cups can give you an instant breast augmentation with no commitment. They can improve your silhouette and help you feel out clothing better. They also can create the illusion of cleavage. Lingerie companies have a variety of styles as well as super-shapers that can boost your chest up to two cup sizes. Using padded bras is a great way to experiment if you aren’t ready for cosmetic surgery.

Chicken Filets
No, it isn’t lunch, but temporary breast augmentation can be as easy as slipping a silicone insert into your bra (make it a padded and push-up bra and you’ll have a very impressive chest). There are several shapes and levels of thickness, and most will retain shape and consistency for several years. Like lingerie, chicken filets make a good alternative to those unwilling or unable to commit to surgery.

Cosmetic Surgery
If you’re ready to take the plunge, permanent breast augmentation is achieved through plastic surgery. You can choose between saline or silicone implants, each with benefits and disadvantages. The biggest concern with choosing this method, however, is relative permanence. While you can have a revision to have implants removed, you will be left with scars forever and your natural bust may never appear the same. There are also risks and complications involved. If you’re certain that getting your breasts boosted is for you, then it may be the way to go. Until you’re positive, it’s better to stick to reliable padded bras or chicken filets to give you your boost.
