Women thought about breast augmentation in the Middle Ages. It was then created the appearance of a magnificent bust due to the special cut of the clothes. However, these first "female cut" secrets are still used today, in the same push-up bras. But how beautiful are natural breasts that have not lost their shape with age or after lactation! Modern women are still concerned with the attractiveness of their own bodies, and fashion for natural beauty and a sporty look just stimulates them.
Addressing the issue of breast augmentation usually begins with the use of several "popular" methods, which often do not have a tangible effect. So the woman thinks of more radical methods. And then the advertisement comes to the rescue, which offers many options to increase the size of the breasts.
Diet
Let's start with the elementary diet - breast. Many people attribute the magical properties of cabbage.
Adult women are of little use to her. Of course, the product is generally good for health, rich in vitamins, but it will only contribute to the increase of the bust if the woman recovers. In this regard, cabbage is also a "helper", depending on how much and with what one eats. . .
In fact, nutritionists say that by gaining a pound of weight, they do not pass 10 to 20 grams for the breast.
By the way, cabbage has a bad side effect - it causes fermentation processes in the intestines and can cause flatulence and bloating. Therefore, you should not be zealous with the use of this product.
The second place in diets for breasts is occupied by beer, or rather, yeast. As with cabbage, the main consequence of frequent consumption of these foods is overweight. Beer, like an intoxicated drink, has the ability to influence male hormone levels and even potency. Much has been said about this in articles on beer alcoholism. I would like to note immediately that women who dream of increasing estrogen by drinking beer are unlikely to succeed.
Bottled beer hardly contains real hops. The yeast, whether pressed or dried, is also pasteurized. Consequently, there is no guarantee that a fermented yeast diet will enlarge the breasts and will not create liver and digestive problems.
Exercises
The second popular way to increase breast size is through physical activity.
Let us just make a reservation that we have nothing against these charges. Useful. Helps to keep the body in good shape. Yes, and it relieves psychological stress.
But the breast does not increase. If you "swing" the pectoral muscle, you can slightly lift the bust that dropped after delivery. But you will not be able to do that anymore. Exercise leads to thinness and weight loss, and the subcutaneous fat in the chest area is burned faster than on the same thighs.
Cosmetics
There are many creams, gels and oils available for breast enlargement. The composition contains a hormonal component, so there is a chance to make a bigger bust for a while. Slightly - usually for 0, 5-1 sizes.
Medicines for the treatment of mastopathy have a similar effect.
As soon as the girl stops wearing them, the breasts return to size after a week.
An important point: the doctor prescribes creams for mastopathy, as it is dangerous to take hormonal medications on your own!
Some gynecologists are sure that the uncontrolled use of creams and oils "to enlarge the breasts", on the contrary, can cause neoplasms of the mammary glands.
Hormones
Some women decide to take hormonal breast enhancement drugs. Some birth control pills are known to have this "pretty" side effect.
But, when taking pills, this is a temporary matter. Perhaps not without consequences - as it can cause hormonal disorders and the appearance of excess weight. However, many women have been taking birth control pills for decades, without complications.
Injections
Attempts to change breast size by injecting "something" to add volume are more than a hundred years old. First, the breasts were enlarged with injections of paraffin. The first operation dates back to 1889. The result was, but it was accompanied by a series of side effects. Paraffin is a substance foreign to the body as a result of rejection. The inflammatory processes started in the chest, and can even lead to the patient's death.
Much later, liquid silicone, polyacrylamide gel (PAGE) and its analogues began to be injected into the chest. Unlike paraffin, these materials are perceived much better by the body. However, there is a serious risk of capsular contracture. Around any foreign body (even theoretically harmless), the body forms a protective capsule that grows from connective tissues. These capsules form even around a common sliver. The problem is that the capsule can get very hard. Each scattered drop is covered with a capsule, and the silicone sandwiched inside the capsule "solidifies". Thus, there are frequent cases in which, after injections of a synthetic gel, the breast begins to harden, the patient feels pressure, pain. By the way, the famous actress and model from the 1950s-1960s, Marilyn Monroe, complained of chest pains after the operation. Until November 2013, no one could question the naturalness of Marilyn's rich forms, but last year documents from the star's personal doctor became available to the public.
Inflammation and migration of the gel in the breasts may require reoperation. However, it is very difficult to remove all the silicone embedded in the breast. But the main problem with silicone gel is the woman's condemnation of the impossibility of a reliable diagnosis of the breast. It is very difficult for a mamologist to differentiate (distinguish) a gel from a gland from a tumor. It is recommended that such patients make diagnoses "in the same hands" and store the results of the research for comparative characteristics.
Hyaluronic acid injection in the breasts
The novelty is the change in the size of the breasts with hyaluronic acid. So far there is the only injectable filler designed specifically to increase the volume of the bust, buttocks and other parts of the body.
Its effect is similar to that of any other filling based on hyaluronic acid - when entering the tissue, it fills the intercellular space, increasing the volume. Like any hyaluronic acid, the gel dissolves in one year. There are no specific disadvantages for this method, although there are descriptions of the migration of the gel out of the mammary gland, which may be due to the large volume of injection. On average, 200-300 ml are needed for breast enlargement.
Now let's move on to the disadvantage of the method. The average cost is much cheaper than that of hyaluronic facial fillers, but taking into account the need to introduce large volumes, the total value is quite large. And the effect will only last for a year. . .
Competition from manufacturers is expected to reduce the price of fillers and make this method more accessible.
Breast fat grafting
The patient's own fat is used to fill the breast to the desired size. The method is controversial, but popular.
Our fat cells do not cause rejection processes in the body and, after transplantation in the breast area, take root in a new place.
Lipofilling is an excellent method to correct the shape of the breasts, eliminate asymmetries, reconstruct after surgery to remove tumors. But, as a method of increasing the size, it is ineffective, because in fact it is able to add breasts of 0, 5 to 1 size. Most of the time, several fat transfer operations are necessary to achieve a remarkable result.
It is known that breast lipofilling has not yet been approved by the World Health Organization, and the American Association of Plastic Surgeons does not recommend its use, since the far-reaching consequences of these operations are not yet known. In other words, the method is not well understood. Therefore, during lipofilling, surgeons place the fat only in the subcutaneous and retromammary spaces of the gland. The glandular tissue itself is not affected.
Silicone Implants
Breast augmentation with the placement of foreign objects - bone, glass, wool, sponge and rubber - has been known since the first decades of the twentieth century. The consequences of these operations cannot be considered successful, as they have mainly led to tissue rejection and even necrosis. Only the appearance of silicone implants in the early 1960s finally gave impetus to the positive dynamics of the development of plastic surgery for breast augmentation.
Since then, silicone implants have gone through five stages of improvement.
A modern implant can have different shapes. For breast augmentation, drop-shaped implants (giving a greater naturalness effect) or round implants are used. Inside, they are filled with a thick cohesive silicone gel, which has the property of retaining its shape and not spreading, even if the skin is damaged, although this happens very rarely in practice.
Obviously, breast augmentation with implants is the most effective method to obtain the best results. But it also has its limitations and disadvantages. First, an invasive operation is performed, which requires preliminary examination and is associated with the usual operational risks.
Second, around the implant, as a foreign body, the same connective tissue capsule mentioned above grows, which in rare cases leads to the development of capsular contracture. Sometimes, you still need to do a second operation to remove the capsule. To avoid this side effect in the latest generation of silicone implants, the shell has been changed: from smooth to rough, covered by tiny villi. This surface does not allow the growth of a hard and excessively dense capsule.
Third, the implanted breast will always be denser than the natural one. When a woman lies on her back, these breasts do not spread.
Fourth, a scar of up to 5 cm remains: under the breast, or in the areola, or under the armpit, depending on the surgical approach.
After breast augmentation, compression underwear should be worn for two months and then for another six months, the bust should be hidden from direct sunlight. In fact, the sun does not benefit female breasts at all, since ultraviolet light causes many undesirable processes in the mammary glands. Just compare the quality of the skin of elderly women in the neckline area (open to the sun) and in the breast area.
Breast implants do not interfere with regular breast exams and allow the baby to be fed (much depends on how the implant is placed). All implants have a lifetime warranty, although over the years the breasts may lose their original shape, as the tissues still stretch over time. In this case, both regular exercise and breast lift surgery, if necessary, will be beneficial.
Breast augmentation with silicone implants remains the most popular plastic surgery in the world, according to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. Women of different ages use it, but surgery for girls under 18 is still not recommended. There is no maximum age limit for breast augmentation (if all health indicators are normal), because beautiful breasts can be at any age!
