Do papaya enzyme supplements increase breast growth?

Question

I read somewhere that the enzymes in papayas can enlarge your breasts and that taking papaya enzyme supplements have the safe effect. Is this true?

Sadly, there is no pill, cream, lotion or exercise that will naturally increase breast volume. Save your money. If you want larger breasts, you will need an implant.My best,

Creams and herbs will not work, save your money.Not many good choices to have larger implants without surgery. You can research and try "BRAVA" suction device, or gain weight (not advised). Hormone pills such as Birth Control Pills in many cases will result in a modest increase but is not predictable.Surgery is the most dependable and predictable method using implants or your own fat.

I appreciate your question.

There is no evidence to suggest that these supplements increase breast growth.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic
and restorative breast surgery.

Best of luck!

There are no exercises,
injections, supplements, foods (including papayas), or creams that will noticeably increase breast volume or lift the
breast. Most often, implants are used to augment the breasts of patients with
good skin quality who lack breast volume. For patients with both a lack
of volume and sagging breasts, a combination of a breast lift and augmentation
(mastopexy augmentation) can address both issues. See link below. A detailed examination will
help delineate the best surgical treatment. Consultation with a plastic surgeon
would be the next best step.

In order to prove a particular treatment or supplement can cause a certain biologic process large-scale studies are necessary. These have to be constructed in a careful manner to avoid biases. There is no evidence that is compelling that these supplements increase breast growth. It sure would be nice though.

To my knowledge, there is no evidence that papaya enzyme supplements increase the size of the breasts.

Brian Widenhouse, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. Papaya enzymes do not increase breast size. The only way to increase breast size is through a breast augmentation.

Sean Kelishadi, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question.  I have not heard of papayas or their enzyme supplements enlarging the breasts to any significant degree.  The most effective, proven method that I know of is breast augmentation with implants.

Brian Arslanian, MD · Answer

There is currently no good evidence for any supplement that increases breast growth.  If there was...EVERYBODY would be using it, and nobody would be getting breast augmentation.  Same thing if there was some magic weight loss supplement.  Good Luck
