Does Alexia Breast Reduction Pills Really Work?

I am a very petite girl with a chest size 32DD. I want a reduction in size, but am nervous about breast reduction surgery. I heard about this pill that claims it can naturally reduce your breast size by targeting those specialized fat cells. Is it a hoax?

Fat reduction pills should be viewed with skepticism

Hello, All fat reduction pills, creams, etc should be viewed with skepticism. The adage that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is something to consider.

Breast Reduction - Does Breast Reduction Pills Work?

I am unaware of any pills or other non-surgical methods that produce a breast reduction. And that makes sense - why would anyone go through a surgical breast reduction - and it remains one of the procedures with the highest rate of satisfaction - if there were a way to do it non-surgically? I hope that this helps, and good luck, Dr. E

Pills and breast reduction

In a word, NO. There is no safe way outside of surgery to reduce breast size. In large breasts the skin has stretched and the skin has lost its elasticity. This cannot come back . Surgery with reduction of the skin envelope is your only way of achieving lift and firmness.

There is no safe nonsurgical breast reduction technique

Unfortunately, there is no safe way to reduce the size of your breasts without surgery. Although there are many pills available in market, none of these pills have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and none of these pills have been proven to be effective. Your best bet is to save your money and do your research on breast reduction techniques. Once you have found a plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable with consider moving forward with a breast reduction.... more

Alexia Breast Reduction pills are a medical hoax

Where is the clinical data on this 'medication'? There are a variety of ways to do safe and effective breast reduction surgery - including liposuction and various types of breast reduction surgery. As breast reduction procedure completely rejuvenated and lifts the breast. This is something that a 'medication' like Alexia will never be able to achieve.

Breast reduction pills

These breast reduction pills do not work. The only pills that work for breast reduction are the pain meds and the antibiotics that you take after your surgical breast reduction. (Only kidding). Seriously though, the only way to reduce the size of the breast is to lose weight if you are overweight or have a surgical excision of tissue.

Don't waste your money on breast reduction pills!

Hi Mandy, There is not a pill that can reduce your breast size. I would not waste your money. A breast reduction is the only real and best way to reduce your breast size. I would do your research on breast reduction surgery, find a board certified plastic surgeon that you feel comfortable with and schedule a consultation. Your plastic surgeon will be able to explain everything to you, show you before and after pictures, and maybe even provide you with other patient testimonials. This... more

Buying these pills will only reduce your wallet size

There's no medical way of reducing breast size through pills. I would caution you to stay away from mesotherapy or lipodissolve to reduce the fat in the breasts. Depending on your age, a young woman has a lot of thick breast tissue and not a lot of fat in her breasts. Surgery is the only well established way to reduce your breast size. In my practice I use a short scar breast reduction technique which avoids placing scars under the breasts. These tend to show in the cleavage and lateral... more

It is a hoax.

Hi! Only surgery will make your breasts smaller. Pills don't work. But don't be afraid! In Manhattan, we do a lot of breast reduction sugery. It is safe, the recovery is easy, and almost all patients are very happy. Breast reduction can really improve the quality of your life. There are links on my web site to the plastic surgery societies, where you can find a surgeon near you.

Please don't waste your money

There is no pill or potion available that will reliably reduce your breast tissue or enlarge it for that matter. Make an appointment with a board-certified plastic surgeon to see what all of your options are. At that point you can make your best decision about whether to have surgery or not. I wish you well.

They do not work

This is not an effective way of reducing your breasts. Speak to a plastic surgeon -- if you only need a small reduction , perhaps liposuction might help. Get some good advice.

Wishful thinking that a pill will reduce your breast

Our society has become used to taking a pill to go to sleep, a pill to get going in the morning, to treat anxiety, depression, decrease hunger and create an erection. However, I can not imagine that a pill will now, or ever be able to safely reduce the size of your breast. Breast reduction surgery on the other hand, works. It is a reliable operation with a very high patient satisfaction rate and in someone like you, who is a DD, I would imagine that your lifestyle would be much improved if... more

YES

Hi there- There is no safe way to reduce your breasts through the ingestion of a pill. Your best bet is to find a surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery and review options with them. You may find that breast reduction is not worth it for you. Then again, you might agree that breast reduction surgery is well worth it for you, and positively changes your life. It is axiomatic that breast reduction patients are among the very happiest in plastic surgery.
