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?

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.

A: 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.

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.

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... more

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... more

Before spending money on a pill, herbal supplement, or cream that promises a better breast shape or size, read this blog post about the breast pill hoax.

Not to offend any dr here, but all drs will tell you it does not work because when females find they do, there will be no need for them and that means they lose money. I am currently taking Alexia and yes they work. I am only 3 weeks in and I have seen them reduced a bit. I have a friend who is on them and lost 1 cup sie in 4 weeks. So yes, they work. If you want them, you should get them, I have had no side effects, but there are times I an feel it working. Drink a lot of water. I am going to use this for another month to get my desired size.Hope this was helpful.
