Breast augmentation: how to make breasts bigger?

Why do many women think about how to make their breasts bigger? Because breasts are not just glandular organs, they are a symbol of motherhood and femininity, beauty and attractiveness of the female body.

Various diets aimed at weight loss, age, hormonal imbalance can contribute to a decrease in breast volume and even its sagging. Enlargement of mammary glands at home and with the help of modern medicine is the topic of our article today.

Breast augmentation surgeries

To increase the mammary glands, the most common operation is to install implants of different configurations and fillings. All types of implants, regardless of the internal composition, are framed on the outside in a silicone capsule. The rough surface of such a shell reduces the risk of developing postoperative contracture of the capsule.

The internal composition of the implant is isotonic sodium chloride solution, hydrogel or silicone filler. Hydrogel is used least often - the substance has not been sufficiently studied, so it is not recommended by doctors. In addition, a few years after implantation, the hydrogel capsule may lose its shape, change its texture (acquire some bumpiness).

Isotonic solution capsules were once extremely popular in American plastic surgery. However, with the advent of silicone fillers of various densities, isotonic solution has faded into the background: it was noted that silicone fillers create a more natural sensation when palpating the breast.

The service life of implants is practically unlimited, especially if the patient follows all the instructions of specialists.

The method of implant installation is determined by the doctor during the examination and examination of the breast. First of all, individual features of the body structure are taken into account. Most often, the capsule is installed directly under the pectoral muscle, less often a partial placement under the muscle and tissues of the mammary gland is used.

To install the implant, one or more incisions are made: along the lower contour of the breast, through the areola, armpit, umbilical area. The last implantation option is used less often, since it involves the introduction of an exclusively fillable implant, which will subsequently look less natural.

Endoscopic breast augmentation

This method of breast augmentation is also called endoprosthetics. This is the same implant insertion, only with the use of minimal tissue damage. This operation does not leave visible scars in the mammary gland area, since with the use of the latest endoscopic and laser technologies it has become possible to insert the implant through a minimal incision in the armpit area.

The effectiveness of such an operation is obvious, and the risk of complications is reduced to a minimum. The postoperative period with the use of the endoscopic method is significantly shortened, pain is insignificant. Some pain may be felt only in the initial 7-8 hours after implantation: in such cases, an injection of an analgesic may be used to alleviate the condition. The patient is usually discharged the next day after the operation.

Over the course of a week, the discomfort gradually decreases, and the skin becomes less sensitive when touching the chest.

For a few more weeks after the operation, it is recommended to wear a special bandage for the correct formation of the breast. The final effect after implantation will be formed within two to three months.

Enlargement of the submammary mammary gland

Submammary implant placement surgery is performed through a special incision made under the fold of the mammary gland. The term "submammary" comes from the concepts of "sub" - directly under, below, and "mammary" - the mammary gland. Thus, the submammary line is the place where the lower part of the mammary gland adjoins the chest, that is, approximately at the level of the fifth and sixth ribs.

The incision is made under the gland, as close as possible to the breast fold. At the site of the incision, the doctor forms a "pocket" through which the implant is inserted. The capsule is inserted upward, gradually straightening it so that it is under the areola. The localization of the incision is such that the scar after the surgical intervention becomes almost invisible, since it is located in the skin fold.

This implantation method is extremely convenient for the surgeon: this angle allows for the best view of the implanted area, and also makes it possible to install the implant in any convenient position - under the pectoral muscle, or partially under it. The rehabilitation period after such an operation takes a little longer than after endoscopic intervention.

Non-surgical breast augmentation

Those patients who for some reason do not decide to undergo surgical breast augmentation can use a non-surgical method: this is the procedure of lipofilling and the use of fillers.

The main advantage of such methods is the natural and organic appearance of enlarged breasts, but there are also disadvantages - the breasts do not increase in size immediately, but gradually, and the result lasts for one and a half to two years, after which the procedures can be repeated.

Method of lipofilling of mammary glands

The stages of such a procedure look like this: a certain amount of fatty tissue is taken from certain areas of the patient through small punctures. Then the fatty tissue is cleaned, treated with special substances for better survival and introduced through other small punctures into the tissue of the mammary gland. In the process, the plastic surgeon forms the necessary shape of the breast. The procedure is carried out under general anesthesia, sometimes together with liposuction.

As a rule, the next day after lipofilling, a woman can go home. Sometimes after the procedure, swelling and small hematomas appear, which after some time disappear without a trace.

Procedure using fillers

One of the fastest procedures for breast enlargement. The mammary glands look very natural after using this method. The procedure is carried out using a special preparation for body contour correction, which is injected into the mammary gland tissue. This method involves the use of local or general anesthesia. The result is visible almost immediately, but the injected preparation gradually dissolves, and after 1-2 years the procedure must be repeated.

Breast Enlargement Drugs

There are many means of breast enlargement. One of such preparations are dietary supplements – natural additives, the manufacturers of which promise a gradual but sure increase in the size of the mammary glands. The effectiveness of such preparations has not been proven, however, many women continue to look for ways to achieve beautiful breasts, bypassing the operating table.

Dietary supplements contain a certain combination of herbal formulas that are designed to stimulate the growth of mammary glands. This happens thanks to the so-called phytoestrogens - herbal analogues of female sex hormones.

Preparations in the form of creams enhance local blood circulation and improve the condition of the skin on the chest.

An example of such a cream is Bust Cream Spa, which contains deoxymiroestrol, rose oil and pueraria extract. This product rejuvenates, nourishes and protects the skin of the mammary glands. The manufacturer promises an increase in breast volume after 3-4 weeks of daily use of the cream.

Popular mesotherapy has approximately the same effect. During this procedure, homeopathic preparations, structural proteins or hyaluronic acid are injected under the skin of the glands. As a result of this method, metabolic processes in the glands improve, collagen synthesis increases, the skin becomes softer and acquires elasticity.

Among the preparations that increase breast size, the peeling effect of natural acids, sea wraps, clay masks for breasts, etc. are often used. All these procedures are based mainly on local action on the skin of the breast, without affecting the internal tissues of the glands. If you trust the reviews, such procedures are ineffective or give an extremely short-term effect.

Breast Enlargement Pills

Nowadays, it is quite easy to buy pills to enlarge your breasts. Their choice is varied, and all manufacturers pursue only one goal - to make a woman more attractive, and therefore happier.

Let's try to consider the most popular tablets, characterize their properties and effects.

• Push Up natural is a Dutch product containing herbal ingredients. It nourishes breast tissue, making it beautiful and elastic. Take 5 tablets per day with plenty of liquid (at least 2 liters per day). Take the tablets with food, spreading them out throughout the day at equal intervals. The manufacturer promises a visible effect in 20-30 days: this is an increase in the elasticity of the glands and an increase in their volume by 1-2 sizes. Contraindications include pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Maxibust is a drug developed by joint efforts of French, Swiss and German cosmetologists. Contains pueraria extract (Thai root), which contains phytoestrogens similar in structure to estradiol. Promotes breast tightening and enlargement, while simultaneously improving the condition of hair, nails, skeletal system, and skin. The course of taking the drug is six months. Starting from the first day of the menstrual cycle, take 4 capsules per day during meals. Thus, take the capsules for 2 weeks, and start again in the next cycle. According to the manufacturer, the effect will be noticeable in a month. It is not recommended for women with menstrual irregularities, with tumor processes in the body, as well as pregnant and lactating women.
• Regulon - many people know this drug as a contraceptive. This is true, however, one of the additional properties of the drug is an increase in the volume of the mammary glands. Regulon contains synthetic analogues of female sex hormones - estrogen and progesterone. The tablets are taken on the first day of the monthly cycle, at the same time, without missing doses, for 21 days. After a 7-day break, the intake is resumed. The drug is hormonal, so side effects are possible: this can be nausea, weight gain, headaches, depression, hypertension. Contraindications include pregnancy, liver disease, high blood pressure, thrombosis, tumors of various localizations, metabolic disorders.
• Janine is a hormonal contraceptive drug. It is taken in the same way as Regulon, contraindications and side effects are the same. It is recommended to consult a doctor before starting the intake.
• Yarina - breast enlargement with the help of contraceptives - is a fairly common phenomenon. This drug belongs to estrogen-gestagen-containing hormonal agents, which, in addition to the contraceptive effect, have many additional properties. Yarina contains drospirenone, which prevents weight gain, the development of edema, and improves fat metabolism. Breast enlargement in this case is due to increased hormonal activity, the influx of nutrients to the tissues of the mammary glands, and improved tissue trophism. In addition, the drug perfectly cleanses the skin, eliminates acne and seborrhea. Yarina is taken orally, according to the order of administration indicated on the package. The tablets must be taken daily at the same time, without missing a dose, for exactly 21 days. After this, there should be a week's break. Breast enlargement against the background of taking the drug may be combined with their soreness, the appearance of discharge from the breast. If the side effects cause discomfort, the intake should be stopped and attention should be paid to other drugs. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the use of the drug is prohibited.

Be careful with hormonal drugs - when choosing them, undergo examinations with a gynecologist and endocrinologist. Hormones for breast enlargement with prolonged use can provoke migraines, hypertension, and weight gain.

Consumer reviews suggest that the effect usually disappears after stopping taking the pills.

Estrogens for breast enlargement

The monthly cycle in the female body provokes a number of cyclical changes. Ovulation involves the maximum level of estrogens, which contributes to swelling of the epithelium of the mammary glands. The visible increase in breast size during ovulation or menstruation is nothing more than increased blood filling and swelling of the mammary glands. If fertilization does not occur, such symptoms regress.

What else affects breast volume? In addition to estrogen levels, frequent and regular sexual intercourse and the number of fat cells in the glands themselves contribute to this. It is no secret that a significant increase in body weight allows you to enlarge your breasts, and losing weight provokes a loss of elasticity and volume of the mammary glands.

Nowadays, you can buy a variety of creams, gels, and tablets with estrogens, which are used to increase breast volume. Often, they consist of synthetic or phytohormones, estrogen analogues. They are produced from plants, cereals, and soybeans.

Phytoestrogens are similar in structure to estradiol, but their effect on receptors is much weaker. Preparations containing phytoestrogens act gradually, increasing tissue proliferation and activating blood circulation in the glands.

External use of ointments has its positive quality: with such use, the general level of hormones does not change, body weight remains the same.

Estrogen-containing drugs include Estrogel, Divigel, Femoston, Premarin, Microfolin, Diane 35, etc. The use of such drugs is highly discouraged without prior consultation with a doctor.

As a rule, the effect of using such drugs ends after their use is stopped.

Massage for breast enlargement

How can massage help in increasing breast volume? The effect of massage is not inferior to the effect of tablets and ointments: by massaging the mammary glands, you can improve blood supply and lymph flow in the chest, cleanse the pores and increase the tone of the skin. Thanks to massage, stagnant processes are stopped, the glands seem to be renewed and cleansed.

Massage actions must necessarily begin and end with stroking movements from the nipple area to the periphery. Excessive pressure on the glands should not be applied, as well as stretching the skin.

After stroking, we do light rubbing. For convenience, you can use massage or any other breast cream. There should be no pain when moving. You can rub with your fingertips, then with your knuckles, alternately from below and above. Rubbing should take at least four minutes.

You can perform light tapping with your fingertips, simulating vibration. We finish the procedure with stroking movements. Such a light massage is performed independently, daily, when performing morning hygiene procedures.

More complex types of massage include Taoist qigong procedures, shiatsu point therapy and Indian manual therapy.

The basis of Taoist procedures is the activation of the production of prolactin, a female hormone responsible for milk production during breastfeeding. In addition to the lactation period, prolactin is also synthesized during stimulation of the mammary glands. This can be achieved with soft gentle movements, often circular, running the fingertips around the nipple and further along the circumference of the chest. If one breast is slightly larger than the other, such actions are carried out on the smaller gland to equalize their sizes. It has been noted that circular movements directed inward can increase the breast. External stroking, on the contrary, reduces volume. In addition to increasing the breast, massage will help prevent the development of mastopathy.

Shiatsu point touches are applied to specific points on the body that are responsible for blood circulation and lymph flow in the mammary glands. Such points are located on the neck, back of the head, supraclavicular region, between the shoulder blades. The points are massaged with the thumbs, pressing for 6 seconds on each point.

Whatever method of manual manipulation you choose for your mammary glands, remember that you should not perform the procedures if you are unwell, have heart problems, have a lump of unknown origin in the gland, or are pregnant.

Exercises for breast enlargement

What does a woman who has decided to increase the size of her breasts with the help of exercises need to know? We often think that certain exercises will help increase the size of the breasts. However, one should not confuse the definition of breasts and mammary glands. The mammary glands do not contain muscles that can be pumped up with the help of exercises: the glands consist of fatty and connective tissue elements. Glandular cells are responsible for the production of milk during lactation, and muscle fibers are absent in the glands.

It is impossible to increase the amount of breast tissue, this can only be achieved by increasing the volume of fatty tissue. This occurs with an increase in overall body weight.

The chest muscles can be enlarged: they will tighten the chest, emphasize it, but the size of the chest will remain the same. In order for the chest muscles to contribute to the visible enlargement of the mammary glands, it is necessary to work out in the gym a lot and constantly. Only in this case, the pumped muscles will lift the chest, improve posture, and the mammary glands will seem larger.

Often, women, performing regular exercises to strengthen the pectoral muscles, get the opposite effect: the breasts decrease due to the fact that during intensive exercises, the fat tissue contained in the mammary glands is burned. Therefore, before determining a set of exercises for yourself, it makes sense to consult a fitness trainer or a specialist in exercise therapy.

Herbs for Breast Enlargement

What herbs can affect breast growth? Only those that maintain the balance of estrogens in the body, promote the production of prolactin, and reduce the amount of testosterone.

The most effective herbs include fenugreek, red clover and saw palmetto. Fenugreek seeds contain substances that affect the synthesis of prolactin and diosgenin, activating the reproduction of gland cells. To achieve this effect, I use the following methods:

• A tablespoon of seeds is poured with a glass of boiling water and boiled for 5 minutes. After cooling, honey, lemon juice and ginger are added to taste. This drink should be drunk several glasses a day. The course of application is 1 month;
• You can soak the seeds in drinking water for 3 hours. Then add honey and drink the water with the seeds as a dessert.

Before treatment, be sure to have your blood tested for hormone levels. If you have elevated prolactin or estradiol levels, this treatment is contraindicated for you.

There are many more plants that affect breast size. Among them, dill, hop cones, and wild yam are quite well known. They are brewed together or instead of tea, added to food and salads.

• take 5-6 hop cones, pour a glass of boiling water over them, and let it brew. Take 1/3 of a glass three times a day for a month;
• take sage and wild yam, grind into powder. Eat one teaspoon twice a day with a glass of liquid;
• take equal parts of licorice root, hop cones, oregano herb, mix. A tablespoon of the mixture is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for 40 minutes. It is necessary to drink 100 ml three times a day before meals;
• lubricate the mammary glands with diluted ginseng tincture; - take 2 tablespoons of mallow root, pour 0.5 liters of water, boil for 15 minutes. Take 100 ml three times a day on an empty stomach.

Before taking herbal preparations, consult a doctor: such treatment is contraindicated in the presence of tumors, pregnancy, menstrual cycle disorders and reproductive function.

Marshmallow for Breast Enlargement

Althaea belongs to the mallow family. This plant lives mainly in damp areas, near the shores of lakes and rivers.

In phytotherapy, the underground part of the plant is mainly used. The composition and pharmacology of marshmallow is very close to flax seed. Marshmallow has long been used to treat women's diseases, prevent malignant tumors and purulent abscesses. Women who had just given birth were given marshmallow tea: it helped restore strength and cleanse the body.

The use of marshmallow to increase the volume of mammary glands can be explained by the presence of plant estrogens in it. However, the standard recipe used to treat diseases of the respiratory and digestive organs will not help here. To increase the breast, you need to take a tablespoon of marshmallow root, pour it into boiling milk and boil for five minutes, then cool. Take it in small sips throughout the day.

The breasts will increase gradually, but very slowly: the first results will be noticeable only after 2 months. You will be able to evaluate the final effect a year after the start of treatment.

If for some reason you do not drink milk, you can prepare the remedy using another recipe: pour two tablespoons of marshmallow root into 2 glasses of water, boil and leave for 10-20 minutes. Filter the decoction, drink 100 ml 30 minutes before meals. The duration of such treatment is unchanged - 1 year. This remedy is quite effective, provided there is no allergy to marshmallow.

Rehabilitation after breast augmentation

The rehabilitation period after surgical intervention for breast enlargement usually proceeds favorably. In extremely rare cases, complications may occur in the form of compaction of the connective tissue of the gland, hematomas, formation of cicatricial changes in the skin, loss of sensitivity in the areola.

The term of hospitalization after the operation is determined by the operating doctor, depending on the degree of tissue damage and the patient's well-being. For some time after the operation, swelling of the mammary glands, a feeling of internal pressure, and breast soreness may be observed. The stitches are usually removed on the 6th-7th day. The scar gradually fades and practically disappears by the 10th month.

For one and a half to two months after the operation, the woman is recommended to wear a compression bra.

Breastfeeding will only be possible one year after the operation.

Every year you should undergo a specialist examination with a control ultrasound.
