What are the non-surgical ways to enhance my bust? Are there natural remedies to breast enlargement?

Not really. Pills, lotions and potions don't work and actually maybe dangerous. Some of them maybe based on hormonal products and therefore can really affect your health. Moreover, if there are ANY effects, these are only temporary.

I tried, a few years ago, the BRAVA system but it really did not rise to the promise and we abandoned this idea. Fat injections can potentially cover breast cancer changes.

Surgical breast augmentation remains the only reliable and safe way to predictably increase the size of the breast. Safety and satisfaction is reflected in the numbers. It is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery (this is true for my practice as well).

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately, there are no safe, scientifically proven, and permanent non-surgical alternatives to increase the size of your breasts aside from undergoing a breast augmentation procedure.  While some websites and magazines will advertise breast enhancement creams and pills, I would caution against these as they have not been proven to be either safe or effective alternatives and would simply be a waste of your money.  I would highly recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation procedures.  At the time of your consultations, all of your concerns will be addressed and I believe you will find that undergoing a breast augmentation procedure is a safe, quick and effective method of breast enhancement with very low risks of complication.  Good luck!

This is a verygood question. There are a variety ofbreast augmentation options, the two most common forms is one enhancement witha breast implant and a new techniques I fat transfer to the breast.



Breastaugmentation with an implant is by far the most common in the United States. Ithas become them most popular cosmetic surgery procedure because women aretypically extremely happy with the procedure.



There are severalways to perform the augmentation, as the implant can be placed through thenipple, axilla or at the bottom of the breast. The new silicone implants have been a tremendous improvement forpatients as they are very soft and natural.



Fat grafting is agreat new tool to using women’s own fat for the augmentation. However there isa limit to the amount of fat that can be transferred in on setting, whichlimits the amount of augmentation that can be achieved.



It is important to see your board certifiedplastic surgeon to help guide you to an implant that will give you an aestheticallypleasing breast.

With the rise in popularity of plastic surgery and breast enhancement procedures, there always seems to be new non-surgical treatments promising the same results as surgery. However, to date there are no non-surgical treatments that are as effective as a surgical breast enhancement. In my practice I only offer surgical breast augmentations with implants, as it is the only treatment that provides true, long lasting results. 

Unfortunately, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is...  I am unaware of any medications, lotions, or potions that will make one's breasts larger.  Breast augmentation surgery is a straightforward and safe surgery in the properly selected patient/context. However, if the thought of surgery is frightening or concerning then you will never "lose" by not proceeding with a surgical solution!  Best of luck.

In reality, there are not too many ways to enhance the size of the breasts without surgery. There is a suction device called Brava which can help to expand the size of the breasts, but this more of a temporary correction for a preliminary solution which allows for a better result when adding fat when doing fat grafting. In general, patients’ breasts are fairly stable unless they have some significant hormonal or weight changes and the best way to reliably change the size and shape of the breast is with surgery. Although surgery can seem scary to many patients and should be taken seriously, the surgery usually goes very well without complications and most patients feel that their nervousness prior to surgery far outweighed the actual discomfort and recovery after surgery.

Hello! Thank you for your question! Breast augmentation is a procedure often sought by women to increase size, add upper pole fullness and projection along with improve shape and symmetry of her breasts. Women who have the breast augmentation done report increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and more comfortable with her body. In fact, it has been the most popular procedure in plastic surgery in the US for the past few years. Unfortunately, there truly is nothing that can be done to reshape, augment, or improve appearance of your breasts "naturally". Options for this would be for breast lift or breast augmentation with implants or fat grafting. Hormones do have an effect, but is not recommended for such and has its side effects. I would consult with a plastic surgeon to discuss the various options. Hope me that this helps! Best wishes for a wonderful result!

No, unfortunately there are no creams, pills or foods that can cause breasts to grow. You can use certain bras and bra inserts to make your breasts look larger in clothing, but the only way to actually increase the size of your breasts would involve surgery in one form or another. Fat grafting may be considered a more natural option than implants since it is your own tissue being used, however that is still a surgical procedure. Hope that helps! 

There are no effective non surgical methods that will give you the results that breast augmentation will.  Breast augmentation is a safe, well tolerated procedure that is performed in thousands and thousands of patients every year.  If the alternatives sound too good to be true, they probably are!

Birth control can cause an enlargement of your breasts, but this is unpredictable.  Weight gain can also cause an enlargement of breasts in some individuals, but this is usually undesirable.  Brava, which is a continued suction device that is placed on the breasts has been shown to have mild increases in breast size, but the effect can be variable.  The device is cumbersome and uncomfortable, but perhaps you could look into it if you are seeking a non-surgical option.

While there are a multitude of options in the popular media for non-surgical breast enhancement, few, if any actually work long term.  Certain exercises can increase the chest muscles under the breasts ( like bench press or chest flies), but do nothing to increase the actual size of the breasts. While It may give an appearance of a "slight" increase in bust size, the result is usually minimal. I've also read about diet supplements like flaxseed oil and such that supposedly increases your size. From what I can tell, these "supplements" just increase your water retention and therefore make you look heavier overall. I guess that would appear to increase the size of your breasts.The same can be said for hormone creams or lotions.  Many times these are unregulated, unpredictable and unsustainable. The BRAVA system is a suction device that attaches to the breasts and must be worn most hours of the day for multiple months at a time. Kind of like a breast feeding pump or an Austin Powers device, but for a woman. Once you stop using the BRAVA, the results diminish.Fat transfer is another option. This is a relatively new technique. It involves use of a harvest site at a different location for fat removal and then placement into the breasts. Oftentimes, this is used in conjunction with the BRAVA system. There are many potential complications with this procedure. The fat transfer can be unpredictable with an undetermined amount of fat that may be reabsorbed by the body.  This can, sometimes, lead to calcium deposits that are left behind after the reabsorption that may make mammogram detection of cancer more difficult in the future.I guess the age-old option of stuffing or padding the bra needs to be considered in this conversation, as well.Honestly, the best way for enhancement of the breast is with an implant.  The breast implant, now, is one of the most studied implants placed in the body; more so than hip replacement or new replacement implants.  While undergoing surgery may be nerve-racking, this type of surgery is very quick, very safe and has minimal downtime with maximal results.
