Does Alexia Breast Reduction Pills Really Work?

I researched Alexia scientifically:  I read the Amazon product reviews!  Half of the reviewers gave the product one of five stars, and some reported racing hearts and hospital visits.  The other half gave 5 star reviews, but many made no sense.  Many said they went from 38D to 36D to 34D.  If that were true, that sounds more like a weight loss than a breast loss.  Surgical Breast Reduction is safe and reliable. In a large outcome study, 98.7% of patients were either Very Glad or Glad that they had their surgery, and 90% of their back pain, neck pain and shoulder grooving was eliminated or reduced.  A very happy group!  

Pills that claim to reduce your breast size are very likely a hoax.  There is no science behind these treatments.  Surgery, although it may seem scary to you, is actually probably safer than taking pills which may have a mixture of untested ingredients in an unregulated mixture

I would caution against any non-FDA approved medication that might interact with your hormones. Supplements are not controlled and have variable amounts of active ingredients in them. See a plastic surgeon to see what might be best for you. 

Many products claiming to reduce breast size have no scientific backing and may even be dangerous. There are no medications, creams, or nonsurgical means that can reduce only the size of your breast. Most of the medications are herbal supplements that have not been clinically tested and are not FDA approved. Some pills or creams might contain unregulated or harmful ingredients that can lead to unwanted side effects, including hormone imbalances. These pills can fail to deliver the promised results and potentially cause health risks, especially if they interfere with hormones.
Breast reduction surgery, on the other hand, is a safe and predictable method to reduce breast size. Studies show that the vast majority of breast reduction patients report high satisfaction with the results, with improvements in both physical discomfort (such as back and neck pain) and emotional well-being. The procedure allows for significant changes in breast size, shape, and position, providing long-lasting results. While surgery may seem intimidating, it remains the most effective and reliable option for those seeking a significant change in breast size.
Some people may experience a reduction in breast size through weight loss, as breasts are partially composed of fatty tissue. However, this is not a targeted reduction in breast size, and the results can vary widely between individuals.
It is advisable to consult with a plastic surgeon to discuss your options. They can help you understand the risks and benefits of surgery and guide you in making an informed decision.

There are no pills that reduce the size of the breasts.  Unfortunately some people spend lots of money on remedies that just don’t work

Would be nice if a breast reduction pill that was safe and effective worked! You could loose weight and potentially loose breast volume (as this seems to be some sort of weight loss type pill). However there is no magic pill that safely and effectively targets the breast fat cells. Please feel free to look at our before and after gallery and always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!

No. Nothing more to add. Do not believe marketing about this. Therapies that act on breast tissue may even be hazardous to your healthDr Steve Merten, Sydney, Australia

No OTC medicine reduces breast size in Men ! Stay away from supplements that claim that they can do this- it is a scam. If it worked it would have been tested and FDA approved for this usage. The only medicine that might work for Gynecomastia would be for male breast enlargement caused by an endocrine disorder. You would need to see an endocrinologist for a work up if this involves you - tyically this would occur in late childhood/adolescence but could occur later (from a Pituitary tumor producing prolactin - a hormone that makes breasts enlarge for example)

Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty patients are among the most satisfied of all plastic surgery patients. Large breasts (macromastia) can often decrease quality of life for a woman. With breast reduction, you can have smaller breasts that sit higher on your chest wall. You will also find relief in your neck and back with the decrease in weight and more ergonomic position of your breasts.There are several different variations of breast reduction, differing by size, and amount of incisions; procedure; and the results. The different types of reduction techniques include: The wise pattern breast lift, the anchor shaped incision, and the donut mastopexy.1. The wise pattern breast lift involves an anchor-shaped incision around the natural contour of the breast. To most patients surprise, this scar is mostly hidden under the inferior aspect of the breast. However, the scar around the nipple/areola is visible. Most patients heal this anchor type scar very well and are satisfied with smaller areola in exchange for the scars. This surgery is used when there is a lot of excess skin that needs to be removed in order to lift the breast and give it a more aesthetic shape.2. Often times, the anchor shaped incision can me diminished to create a lollipop or J shaped incision. This results in some excess skin at the inferior aspect of the breast near the breast crease that will flatten out over a 6 month period. Some patients are willing to tolerate this excess skin for 6 months in exchange for a smaller scar. This is a personal decision that each patient can make.3. The donut mastopexy involves creating an incision around the areola and removing a doughnut-shaped area of skin. This surgery can be used for patients that need a smaller amount of lifting. This surgery results in a scrunched-up look to the breast skin surrounding the areola for about 6 months before it flattens out. Patients need to be understanding and tolerant of this in exchange for an areola-only scar. These patients do run the risk of areola widening as well.Insurance may cover some of these cases when back pain, shoulder bra-notching, and rashes under the breast are present. Insurances vary though and your doctor can submit a report and photos to see if your insurance approves your procedure.The risks of the procedure include bleeding, infection, bruising, poor scarring, pain, swelling, and changes to nipple and areola sensation, and rarely, partial or total nipple loss. The recovery time is usually a couple weeks if all goes well. In general, however, breast reduction patients are some of the most satisfied and grateful plastic surgery patients. This is truly a life-changing procedure. In my area, the cost ranges from 6700-8500. Best of luck!

While I am not familiar with the particular pill your are describing, I would be very skeptical about claims that a pill can reduce the size of your breasts.
