Breast Augmentation During Lunch? Only in Paris

Real Beauty News on Nov 30, 2008

Macrolane (also known as the "Boob Jab") is a non-invasive procedure meant for breast, butt, or calf augmentation that is not yet available in the United States.

Macrolane is an injectable filler made with hyaluronic acid (just like Juvederm or Radiesse) and it can temporarily augment the breast area with no scars and little or no downtime. According to macrolane.com, the results last 12-18 months.

Patients can expect to gain about one cup size and it can last as long as 18 months. 
Like many new cosmetic surgery procedures, strict government regulations have prevented
its introduction in America, although certain areas of Europe and Asia are allowing its use.

Just a small correction to point out in the above article: Radiesse is *not* a hyaluronic acid filler. It is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler and works through a very different mechanism to add soft-tissue volume.
