Breast Augmentation: Q&A

Breast Enhancement Cream Post-breast Augmentation?

I was quite disappointed since I was expecting to have a full C with 290cc but after swelling has gone, I really look smaller. So I was thinking to just use breast enhancement cream to make it a little more bigger without going under the knife again. I'm only 3 weeks post op; should I expect it to get more smaller or bigger? Is using breast cream safe for me? Thanks!

Breast enlargement creams do not work

After breast augmentation, patients are infrequently dissatisfied with their size. Breast enlargement creams are not an effective means to improve this situation. In fact, they are a huge waste of money. Unfortunately, the only way to improve the size substantially is to have the smaller implants replaced with larger ones after waiting 3-6 months.

Breast creams do not work,they don't enlarge breast

Dear pritty the size of the implant s depends on what do you have to start with,how wide is your chest,how tall are you,how much do you weight etc a c cup is very different on a 32C CUP that on a 42C CUP I think it shoud be very little swelling at this point,so your size is probably what you have now,wait 6 months before changing them. In my office you try the sizers on the size of bra that you want to be,so you see before surgery exactly the size t,hat you will be,and... more

Breast enlargement creams don't work.

It is disappointing to not get the results you wished for from your augmentation surgery. However, after waiting about 6 months, you can safely move up to a larger implant to achieve your goal. There is no reason to waste your money on these creams which only takes money from your pocket and puts it in the pocket of the people running these scams. If your 1st surgeon does not want to correct the problem, be sure to use a board certified plastic surgeon for your next step.... more

Breast enlargement creams....

Breast enlargement creams don't work. If they did, don't you think everyone who wanted bigger breasts would be using them instead of having surgery? They belong on the shelf alongside penis-enlargement pills and most weight-loss or fat-melting products. Don't waste your time or money. Your breasts will not get bigger as time passses, unless you gain weight. So you can expect your breast size to stay the same, but your shape will soften and settle over... more

Wait a little longer before trying to change the size of your breasts.

Wait a minimum of 3 months before revision breast augmentation - and preferably even 6 months. This will allow time for the scar tissue to become softer and your breast appearance will actually change a little during that time as well. They wont look any larger than they do right now, but you may also decide that you are happier with the size than you initially thought. Breast enhancement creams are usually a disappointment to patients and probably not worth your time or money.... more

Not large enough after breast augmentation

Unfortunately, breast enhancement creams do not work. I would recommend waiting several months before making a final judgment on your breast size. Immediately after surgery, the swelling that occurs often gives women a false impression of their breast size. When the swelling resolves, it is very common to feel as though their augmentation was not "big enough." Presumably, you and your plastic surgeon decided on this implant size do to your anatomy and desires. Give yourself... more

Breast enhancement creams are snake oil.

Breast enhancement creams are scams. They don't work. Breast augmentation in the hands of a capable surgeon gives predictably good results.

Breast enhancement creams only augment the cream sellers pocket, not your breasts

Unfortunately, there is no cream laser or lotion that will increase the size of your breasts. If you are not satisfied with the ultimate size after a breast augmentation, your best bet is to give your breasts a chance to completely heal and then work with a board-certified plastic surgeon for a breast augmentation revision to change the size of the implants into a larger size. To learn more about breast augmentation, see photos, and help you decide which one is best for you, please... more

Creams for breast augmentation

There are no creams that I know of that actually enlarge the breasts. There may be products on the market that purport this premise, but there is no scientific evidence that I am aware of that supports this notion. If so, no one would have surgery to enhance their breasts.

There are no creams that will make your breasts bigger

To prettycloset, Hi. After three weeks, you probably have your permanent size. But I would recommend waiting several months before you consider more surgery. 290cc are not small implants and I advise women not to go too big. Smaller implants will usually do better over many years.

Good luck with cream

Pretty, I am sorry that you are not happy with your breast size. However, if breast creams were successful there would be no need for breast augmentation surgery. It's basically a marketing gimmick for you to waste your money on. If you are really that unhappy speak to your surgeon. None of us likes an unhappy patient. So he/she will likely work with you to satisfy your wishes. Good luck!
