According to statistics, the vast majority of women are dissatisfied with their breast size. Without intervention, the bust can increase during pregnancy, with weight gain before menstruation. In other cases, to correct the shape, you will have to resort to methods that have proven their effectiveness: surgery, massage, sports, cosmetology.
In order to choose an effective and safe way to enlarge the mammary glands, it is necessary to take into account their initial condition, the planned result of the transformation, the general health of the patient.
Breast augmentation techniques
Breast augmentation with implants is characterized by access to the pocket where the silicone prosthesis will be located.
In most cases, the doctor will cut the tissue around the circumference of the nipple. This is due to the fact that the scar will be invisible in the areola and the reduction of the nipple diameter is necessary for almost all patients who decide to have plastic surgery.
Access through the armpit or the area around the navel is used less frequently, as this technique is much more complex and requires long-term rehabilitation.
The method of performing the operation may differ according to the location of the implant: under the gland, under the muscle or a combined method.
Expected result of breast augmentation with implants
As a result of the operation using silicone prostheses, it is possible to increase the bust by several sizes. But to assess how harmonious the new shapes will be, 3D modeling is used - a visualization in a graphics program in which the patient's photos are loaded.
Almost 95% of women who have undergone mammoplasty are satisfied with the result, unlike the statistics for another popular operation - rhinoplasty, where the number of repeated visits to the surgeon is high.
Types of implants
Implants differ in their shape:
- round;
- anatomical, drop-shaped.
The choice is made by the patient based on aesthetic preferences and body type. Anatomical prostheses look natural; after the tissues have healed, the surgeon's intervention will not be noticeable. But round implants do not lose their shape even a few decades after surgery. To prevent the migration of artificial breasts, you should choose prostheses with a textured rather than a smooth surface.
May also differ in the composition of the implant filler:
- silicone;
- biogel;
- saline.
Saline prostheses are soft to the touch and have the most affordable price. The gel and silicone make the implants firm and elastic. Gel-filled dentures are not always rigid: there are three degrees of density:
- soft, which lose their shape faster than others, but do not differ from the mammary glands;
- solid, long-lasting form;
- soft touch, which is a compromise between hard and soft.
To choose an implant, the surgeon must describe in detail what result he wants to see after the operation and whether the bust should look natural.
Lifting the chest
With fluctuations in body weight, lactation or initially large breast size inevitably develops ptosis: the bust sags, looks unfilled. In this case, cutting off the excess tissue is required to restore a beautiful shape. In this case, prostheses may not be used, as the breast visually looks more voluminous after the operation.
The method of surgery depends on how severe the ptosis is. With a slight lift, periareolar surgery is usually used, in which the surgeon makes two incisions: along the contour of the areola of the nipple and on top. The excess tissue flap is excised and the ends of the two incisions are sutured.
If the patient's chest is more deformed in the upper half and the nipples are directed downwards, the crescent method is used when the nipple is raised in the same way as in periareolar mastopexy.
In significant ptosis, an anchor lift is used, in which an anchor incision is made, the upper point of which starts from the nipple and the lower line runs horizontally along the chest.
Endoscopic breast augmentation
Endoscopy differs from the usual operation with the use of special equipment, which allows you to make an incision no longer than 4 cm to place the prosthesis from a point away from the breast. The surgeon can observe the process of placing the implant under the muscles on a screen where the image is transmitted from an endoscope equipped with a camera.
This method of surgery is safe and no one will be able to guess about the unnaturalness of the breast, as there will be no signs of intervention on the bust.
Breast augmentation in the gym
If you plan to increase your bust by no more than 1 size, you can resort to cosmetic procedures that stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the skin.
Myostimulation
During myostimulation, the effect of current discharges on the pectoral muscles is observed. The mammary glands do not increase in size, but the muscles will become bulky. A similar effect can be achieved with the help of exercise, but sport, unlike the course of myostimulation, has many contraindications.
Microcurrent therapy
Microcurrents, such as myostimulation, are a procedure in which an electric current is applied. But in this case it does not affect the muscles, but the skin. Improving local metabolism affects the reduction of collagen fibers, which are responsible for skin firmness.
Laser procedure
The laser helps to tighten the skin and get rid of mild ptosis. In some clinics, the procedure is called laser rejuvenation: by strengthening the breast frame, you can make it more voluminous and elastic, but it will not be possible to increase the size of the bust in this way.
Mesotherapy or biorevitalization
Injectable cosmetology is one of the most effective ways to improve the condition of the skin. Biorevitalization and mesotherapy allow you to inject hyaluronic acid and vitamin complexes to the desired depth of the skin. And the injections themselves provoke accelerated production of elastin and collagen to regenerate the skin damaged by the needle.
Treatments aimed at improving the condition of the skin cannot enlarge the breasts. But you can put fillers in the bust, which will make the shapes lush for up to six months.
Before breast augmentation with contouring, you must make sure that there are no contraindications:
- decreased blood viscosity;
- menstruation;
- infection in the body;
- allergies or autoimmune diseases.
How to enlarge breasts using folk methods?
Numerous alternative breast augmentation methods are usually ineffective. Such methods of therapy as massage, medicines, sports and special cosmetics have a proven clinical effect, while decoctions, infusions and lotions do not affect the size of the breasts and muscles in any way.
Breast Enlargement Massage
Massage is an effective method for breast augmentation without surgery and injections. Helps improve local circulation, strengthen muscles and tighten the skin. Immediately after the procedure, the effect of a small breast enlargement,
, occurs, but it disappears after a few hours.
Contraindications to massage are:
- brushes;
- neoplasms;
- sensitive skin prone to irritation.
Water breast massage
Hydromassage can be done during the shower every day. Once you have adjusted the pressure so that the water gushes with force, you should massage the breasts in a circle for 2-3 minutes on each side. The water should be comfortable, but not too hot.
You can then complicate the procedure by making a shower contrast. To avoid catching a cold, you should gradually increase the exposure time to cold water: first 10 seconds with a minute rest, then 20, 30 and 60 seconds, respectively.
Corrective breast massage
The breast reshaping massage is performed with the help of hands, which is why it is otherwise called manual. It acts on both the muscles and the skin, thus helping to make the bust more round and toned.
The following manipulations are performed during the massage:
- three fingers (middle, index and ring) should go around the chest, gradually increasing the pressure;
- slide your fingers from the nipples to the top of the chest;
- pinch the breast, trying not to pull the skin, but to affect the soft tissues.
- taking the breast in one hand and patting it carefully with the other;
This simple breast augmentation massage includes all the steps of a classic massage: stroking, pinching and patting. In this case, the procedure does not take more than 5-7 minutes.
Vacuum breast massage
The vacuum massage increases the size of the bust in a few minutes, but the effect disappears quickly. The procedure requires a special device in which each breast is placed separately and which allows, using a pump to pump air, to create a negative pressure that improves blood supply.
Japanese breast massage
Japanese or acupressure massage promises to make the shapes more curved by affecting the biologically active points that are located:
- on both sides of the thyroid gland;
- above the shoulder blades;
- above the collarbones.
Points should be pressed for 5-7 seconds with a break of 20 seconds. The total duration of the procedure is 5 minutes.
Breast Augmentation Masks
Traditional medicine offers several ways to enlarge the breast without special devices and drugs.
- A bag of yeast should be diluted in warm water to the consistency of sour cream, applied to the bust for 15 minutes, rinsed with water.
- Mix sliced boiled potatoes with vegetable oil, honey and sour cream in equal proportions. Apply on the skin, rinse after 25 minutes.
Masks have no scientific evidence of effectiveness, but take good care of breast skin.
Breast Enlargement Creams
Breast augmentation cosmetics work through a composition that combines herbal and chemical components.
Hormonal drugs
Hormonal drugs are divided into replacement therapy, dietary supplements and oral contraceptives. The last category of drugs is used for breast augmentation.

- without menses;
- tumor development;
- changes in the size of the organs of the reproductive system, including the vagina;
