If you are hoping to increase the size of your breasts, then a breast pump would not provide a lasting effect. It would increase circulation to the breast which could provide a temporary boost, but the effects are short lived.

If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is...  Unfortunately, I am unaware of any breast enlargement pumps that actually work - at least in the long run.  Better to save up for surgery and skip this step!  Best of luck!

Thank you for your question. No unfortunately breast enlargement pumps don't work. They can possibly enlarge your breast temporarily, but they will return to the original size. Breast enlargement pumps can also cause skin ulceration and other unpleasant side effects. The safest, most reliable way of enlarging the breast is through breast augmentation surgery with implants.

The BRAVA breast pump system has been commercially marketed
as a method for increasing breast size.This system applies continuous suction to the breast over a prolonged
period of time.Studies have shown
minimal changes in breast size with this approach.Its greatest value may be in combination with
autologous fat grafting for breast enhancement.

This is a great question that lingers in the minds of several women. Although some non-invasive procedures sound promising, the truth is that breast augmentation and fat transfer to the breasts are the only ways to increase breast size. Do not be mislead by great marketing and educate yourself as much as possible before making a decision. I hope this has helped.

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there are no "pumps" that will effectively increase the size of your breasts without some sort of surgery.  A tool called BRAVA has been around for several years and is essentially a large vacuum suction cup worn over the breasts to help increase blood flow to the breast but does require fat grafting to enlarge the breasts.  It is a cumbersome device that must be worn for 10-12 hours in the day and because of this, compliance is low.  Implants are still the standard way of increasing breast size, but obviously require surgery to place them.

The only safe and reliable way to increase your breast size is FDA and Health Canada Approved breast implants

The only proven enlargement pump is the brava device.  Without fat grafting used in conjunction with the device the breast volume will not increase much over where you are now.  Visit with a PS in your area to learn more.

Thank you for your question.Unfortunately breast enlargement pumps will not enlarge your breasts.  The most well known system is the Brava system that must be worn for 8-10 hours a day for weeks to see a mild to moderate enlargement in breasts that is transient.  It's utility is best used for preparing the breasts with increased vascularity for transferring larger amount of fat to the breast during a breast enlargement via fat transfer.  My recommendation is to save your money and if it is something that truly bothers you breast implants might be an option to explore.Dr. L

Agreeing with the other Dr.s on the site, the answer is a big no. It's great marketing to falsify the truth. There truly isn't anything that will work besides surgery. Sorry to burst your question bubble...
