Fish Oil Injections for Breast Growth?

The injection of foreign substances like fish oil, wax and silicone into the breast carries great risk of harm.  These procedures in some cases have been tried historically by doctors many years ago and long abandonded as a result of the severe and often life threatening complications.  Foreign substances tend to cause reactions leading to scarring or granulomas which can be disfiguring.  There is also a chance of life threatening infections and embolization (getting into a blood vessel and lodging somewhere else like the lungs).  This type of procedure would not be recommended at this time by any credible Plastic Surgeon.  Fat transfer to the breast is the only similar procedure that is currently being performed.  It has some limitation, but generally works well and is safe. You should refer to the American Society of Plastic Surgery position statement on Fat Transfer to the Breast for further information and details.  Be safe!

Patients should be aware that nothing is approved for breast enlargement  except Silicone or Saline Implants and Fat Grafting (patients own fat transferred) Any other product involves potential danger.    I have heard several products offered by charlatans to give volume in tissues but never fish oil . Thanks for your question.  If you wish  breast enhancement look for a Certified Plastic Surgeon in you area.
