Are there any alternatives to breast implants?

There are some out there as stated, but non have really proven to be worth while.  Either they dont work or if they do work they only result in small improvement or volume change.

Autologous fat grafting is still a bit scary and I would not recommend it at this point.  This is when fat is removed from elsewhere and injected into the breast tissue.

Good luck.

As stated in many of the previous comments, Options for non-implant breast augmentation are:

1) Hormonal pills, supplements, creams.

2) Brava Breast Enhancement system.

3) Breast augmentation via lipoinjection.

4) Enhancing garments such as bras or inserts.

However, surgical augmentation remains the mainstay of breast enlargement providing reliable, predicatable, relatively consistent and subastantial breast enhancement.

Lipoinjection has recently been viewed as an option, yet concerns with interpreting mammograms as well as the consistency of the result and problems with sufficient tissue in thin paitents limit the applicability of this procedure.

There are no natural "remedies" that I know of. 

There is only one non-invasive way to possible enlarge the breasts by about 150cc's. This is using the Brava system, which is basically a suction cup device that is placed on the chest to recruit adjoining skin ans tissue. 

This requires several hours of wearing each night for many weeks.  To put it in perspective, most patients I treat want an average of 250-500 cc implants in each breast.

There are many pills, devices, and creams available that all claim to increase your breast volume. There are no controlled studies showing that any of these products work.

There is one product called the Brava System that has shown a VERY modest increase in breast volume. It involves wearing a suction apparatus on your breasts 8 to 10 hours a day WITHOUT INTERRUPTION for 6 weeks at least. It is large and cumbersome, and impossible to hide under your clothes. We tried them in my practice when they first came out and not any of the patients could tolerate the vigorous daily regimen. It essentially relegates you to not leaving your house except for work for 6 weeks.

The pills and creams are snake oil at its finest, and likely not good for you at all.

There are three main alternatives to breast augmentation using implants:

1. Pills and creams. There are a large number of hormonal and homeopathic pills and creams that promise breast enhancement, but little existing proof of their effectiveness.
2. The Brava breast enhancement system. Brava is a noninvasive treatment that involves wearing a special brassiere-type device for at least ten hours a day for ten weeks or more. Studies have shown a modest increase in bust size (about 1 cup size) after ten weeks of use, but how long the bust remains enlarged after treatment is stopped remains unclear.
3. Breast enlargement via fat transfer. Fat transfer has been used recently with some success in reconstructing defects in breast cancer patients. There are, however, a number of questions that need to be studied before it gains widespread acceptance for cosmetic breast enhancement. For example, will the injected fat make breast cancer more difficult to detect?

In summary, breast augmentation using implants is currently the best method for achieving breast augmentation. Implants may not be perfect, but because we have a long history of using them, we know what their benefits and complications are.
