Do Breast Enlargement Creams Work?

Tags: alternative, cream, non surgical

At amazon.com you can see lots of breast enhancement creams and pills for sale. So, i figured if amazon carries them, they must have some benefit. I'd like to go up one or 2 cup sizes without surgery. The top reviewed breast enhancer that seems to do this is the Breast Actives. The Breast Actives program is called a natural Breast Enhancement Program with exercise, supplements and cream that give you nutrients that you don't get in your diet. Is there truth that certain nutrients missing in your diet can lead to poor breast development? If so, wouldn't these products *work* to some degree if that's the case. I mean, you do get bigger breasts when you gain weight, so it seems like theres a relationship between breast size and diet.

Breast enlargement creams don't work. They are a scam.

Breast enlargement creams don't work. Breast augmentation is a reliable and safe way to get larger breasts, if that's what you want. It's, for the moment, the only option for breast augmentation. If you don't want implants, save your money.

Do breast enlargement creams work? Uh, No.

The short answer is No. Some herbalists try and make their product look like hormones that might effect breast tissue. The potency is not close to what you need. If you want two cup sizes, the only way to do that is with a breast augmentation surgery.

Breast creams do not lead to Larger Breasts

Breast creams and "added nutrients" to not lead to larger breasts. Your breasts are made up of breast glands (which produce breast milk during and after pregnancy) and fat. When you gain weight, your breasts increase in size due to the enlargement of the fat cells in the breast. This is a calorie relationship, not a "nutrient" relationship. It is true that in severely malnourished people, there can be a delay in hormonal production and a delay in puberty which may lead to... more

Do not be fooled

Breast creams and treatments do not work. People who become obese develop larger breasts but only because the rest of their body becomes larger with weight gain. Female hormones can enlarge the breast and woman who take birth control pills tend to develop larger breasts while on the pill.

Wallet enlargement cream

I'm sorry to tell you, the only thing you will be enlarging by buying those creams will be the bank account the persons scamming you. While some natural and herbal products that are sold may provide some benefits, many more have no proven effect. Be careful before buying anything that sounds too good to be true.

Skin products for breast enhancement- a scam!

Since when did Amazon establish itself as a purveyor of all that is legitimate and effective? They are just trying to make a buck. These skin products are not going to increase the size of your breasts. At this stage, only a breast implant can reliably and safely increase the size of the breast in a predictable manner.

Breast creams

Many women do get larger breasts when they gain weight...because their breasts get fatter. Sadly, no nutrient or cream is going to make larger breasts.

Breast enlargement creams

They are worthless. Quite obviously breast enlargement creams do not work or there would be no need for breast implants. There is always someone out there working a scam.

Breast enhancement creams are a waste of your money

It is interesting that you would put your faith in Amazon that way but not entirely surprising since anything medical that is blessed by Oprah is golden too. Unfortunately, both get paid to promote products and don't really worry if they don't work as much as the maunfacturers say they will. Regarding breast creams, just save your money!

Breast enhancement creams

Hi, Thank you for your question. Breast enhancement and pills creams do not work. You may notice a slight difference at best, but even that is not worth spending the money. They are very well marketed, but not FDA approved. The only way to enhance your breasts is to have surgery. I would not waste your money. If you really want larger breasts, save it for a breast augmentation. Best regards, Dr. Speron

Bust expander creams have been for sale since 1897

The 1897 Sears Catalogue sold bust creams and expanders. Nowdays, they are sold on TV. I don't think they worked in the past and I don't think they work now. Buyer beware.

Breast enlargement creams do not work

I have never met a patient who has had any long term results from the many creams that are available for purchase on line. At best, you could get a modest increase and you would then have to apply that cream for the rest of your life (expensive and not realistic)

Surgery only option for breast enlargement

Breast enlargement creams have been advertised in magazines for as long as I have been alive! They do not work. The only way to enlarge the breasts is to have surgery.

Breast Enlargement Creams, Rabbitt's feet, Garlic necklaces and other BS Treatments

I love your questions because it is honest and so commonly asked especially "if amazon carries them, they must have some benefit." Can we also agree that if The President says something, it MUST be true? If Oprah sells something on her TV show it MUST be true? If Marie Osmond sells something on HSN it MUST be True? If you favorite celebrity is on that new Bat Dung and Raspberry diet - it MUST work???? - Probably, NOT. If it's too good to be true, it .... A Fool and his money are... more

Breast enlargement creams are snake oil treatments

The ads are too good to be true. Get it? Even if they were to work, they are not FDA evaluated and cleared. You put that stuff in your body, and if it works, it may set you up for a cancer. But it doesn't work. So save your money for breast augmentation.

Breast enhancement creams offer hope though little else

Breast enhancement creams and balms, and bust exercises have been around for a very long time. The first such advertisements date as far back as the 1890's though I'll bet products such as these have been around much longer. It is very attractive to believe that a cream rubbed onto the breast will cause breast enlargement, or that a certain vitamin or dietary supplement will lead to a larger cup size, however there is no clinical medical evidence to support the claims. There are suction... more

No magic potions for breast enlargement

A couple of things to keep in mind here: products like these are not FDA regulated, so they don't really have to prove anything regardless of who sells them. What concerns me more than people getting ripped off is that these things can actually be dangerous. Think about it: if they do work, they would do so by stimulating breast cells to grow. The potential for causing a cancer is real. this is just not something you want to experiment with.

No evidence on breast enhancement creams

I have not seen any evidence to sugest these breast enhancement creams are benificial. I would recommend for you to save your money for a breast enhancment procedure.

Breast enlargement creams don't work

No! These are internet, TV, and radio marketing scams. Be aware that these creams, potions & lotions are just a useless way to sell and get information on you. Be careful out there. Regards from Miami

Can a topical cream make my breasts larger?

Hi there- There is absolutely no evidence to suggest (let alone prove) that any topical skin cream might actually cause breast development. At best, you are throwing away your money... at worst, you are endangering your health- I completely agree with Dr. Placik, and would further add that your assumption that it must be a reputable product because it is sold on Amazon would probably make (Amazon founder and CEO) Jeff Bezos cringe... Amazon is a marketplace... items are bought and sold, and... more

Be careful about claims made about breast creams

This is exactly the kind of logic that these marketers have used for centuries to prey on vulnerable patients or customers. This junk science has no basis in reality but uses facts that misleadingly support the claims of the manufacturer. For example, many years ago thigh creams containing aminophylline claimed to promote fat loss when applied to the thighs. This was based on some science that aminophylline can alter the metabolism of fat cells. The problem is that this does not travel to... more
