Question

I am a Ts? What I would like to know is, Is it safe to self inject a sterile saline solution into my breasts to make them look largeThere is some natural growth but not sufficient to fill a bra without the use of silicone enhancers

Luis Macias, MD, FACS · Answer

Dear Allison,I'm sorry to say that it is not a good idea.  You can cause damage and it will be very short lived as the saline will be reabsorbed by your body in a few hours. Plus it can stretch your skin and then you may end up with droopy small breasts. See a plastic surgeon for ways to permanently augment your breasts safely with either fat transfer or silicone implants.

Jerome Edelstein, MD · Answer

It is crucial that you do not do this. It is not safe and the results will not last, as the saline solution will simply be absorbed by your body within a few hours. You may also cause irritation, infection and saggy skin once the saline is absorbed and your breasts shrink back to their regular size.

Adam Saad, MD · Answer

Do not inject yourself with saline.  It won't work and you can cause great damage.  If you want breast enhancement see a board certified plastic surgeon

M. Dean Vistnes, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

No, this not advised. The potential short term benefits do not out way the risks. Please seek out a consultsation with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area. Good luck, Dean Vistnes.

Robert E. Zaworski, MD (retired) · Answer

No, this is not a good idea. You could harm yourself.  Consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss breast implants.  Best wishes!
