Women thought about breast augmentation in the Middle Ages. Then the appearance of a magnificent bust was created due to the special cut of the clothes. However, these first secrets of the "feminine cut" are still used today, in the same push-up bras. But like beautiful natural breasts that have not lost their shape with age or after lactation! Modern women are always worried about the attractiveness of their own body, and the fashion for natural beauty and a sporty look only stimulates them.
Approaching the issue of breast augmentation usually begins with the use of various "folk" methods, which often do not give any tangible effect. Then the woman thinks about more radical methods. And then the advertisement comes to the rescue, which offers many options for increasing the size of the breasts.
Diet
Let's start with the basic breast diet. Many people attribute the magical properties of cabbage.
Cultivated women are of little use to him. Of course, the product is generally good for health, rich in vitamins, but it will only contribute to breast enlargement if the woman recovers. Cabbage is also an "helper" in this business, depending on how much and what it is eaten. . .
By the way, nutritionists say that when gaining weight from one kilogram, no more than 10-20 grams are sent to the breast.
By the way, cabbage has a bad side effect - it provokes fermentation processes in the intestines and can cause gas and bloating. So you should not be zealous with the use of this product.
The second place in breast diets is occupied by beer, or rather by yeast. As with cabbage, the main consequence of frequent consumption of these foods is being overweight. Beer, like an intoxicated drink, is credited with the ability to influence male hormone levels and even potency. It has been talked about a lot in articles on beer alcoholism. I would immediately like to notice that women who dream of increasing estrogen by drinking beer are unlikely to be successful.
Bottled beer barely contains real hops. Yeast, pressed or dried, is also pasteurized. As a result, there is no guarantee that a diet based on brewed yeast will enlarge the breasts and not create liver and digestive problems.
Exercises
The second popular way to increase breast size is physical activity.
Let's make a reservation right away as we have nothing against such charges. Useful. Helps to keep the body in good shape. Yes, and relieves psychological stress.
But the breast does not get bigger. If you "swing" the pectoral muscle, you will be able to slightly lift the bust which fell after childbirth. But you won't be able to do it anymore. Exercise leads to leanness and weight loss, and subcutaneous fat in the chest area is burned faster than on the same thighs.
Beauty products
There are many creams, gels, and oils available for breast augmentation. The composition contains a hormonal component, so there is a chance to make a bigger bust for a while. Slightly - usually 0. 5-1 sizes.
Drugs for the treatment of mastopathy have a similar effect.
As soon as the girl stops using them, the breasts return to their size after a week.
An important point: a doctor prescribes creams for mastopathy, because it is dangerous to take hormonal drugs on your own!
Some gynecologists are convinced that the uncontrolled use of creams and oils "for breast enlargement", on the contrary, can cause neoplasms of the mammary glands.
Hormones
Some women decide to take hormonal drugs for breast augmentation. Some birth control pills are known to have this very "pretty" side effect.
But when taking pills, it is a temporary matter. Perhaps not without consequences - because this can provoke hormonal disorders and the appearance of excess weight. However, many women have been taking oral contraceptives for decades without any complications.
Injections
Attempts to change the size of the breasts by injecting "something" into them to add volume date back over a hundred years. First, the breasts were enlarged with paraffin injections. The first operation dates back to 1889. The result was, but it was accompanied by a host of side effects. Paraffin is a substance foreign to the body, as a result of which rejection occurred. Inflammatory processes began in the chest, which could even lead to the death of the patient.
Much later, liquid silicone, polyacrylamide gel (PAGE) and its analogues began to be injected into the breast. Unlike paraffin, these materials are much better perceived by the body. Nevertheless, there is a serious risk of capsular contracture. Around any foreign body (even theoretically harmless), the body forms a protective capsule that develops from connective tissue. Such capsules even form around a common shard. The problem is, the capsule can get very hard. Each scattered drop is covered with a capsule, and the silicone sandwiched inside the capsule "solidifies". As a result, there are frequent cases when, after injections of a synthetic gel, the breast begins to harden, the patient feels pressure, pain. By the way, the famous 1950s-1960s actress and model Marilyn Monroe complained of chest pain after the operation. Until November 2013, no one could question the naturalness of Marilyn's rich forms, but last year the documents of the star's personal doctor became available to the public.
Inflammation and migration of the gel into 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 condemnation of the woman to the impossibility of a reliable diagnosis of the breast. It is very difficult for a mammologist to differentiate (distinguish) a gel in a gland from a tumor. It is recommended that these patients perform the diagnoses "in one hand" and store the research results for comparative characteristics.
Injection of hyaluronic acid into the breasts
New: changing the size of the breasts with hyaluronic acid. To date, 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 hyaluronic acid-based filler - when it enters the tissues, it fills the intercellular space, thereby increasing the volume. Like any hyaluronic acid, the gel will dissolve within a year. There are no particular drawbacks to this method, although there are descriptions of gel migration out of the mammary gland, which may be due to the injection volume being too large. On average, 200-300 ml are needed for breast augmentation.
Now let's move on to the downside of the method. The average cost is much cheaper than the cost of hyaluronic fillers, but considering the need to introduce large volumes, the total amount is quite large. And the effect will only last for a year. . .
It is hoped that competition from manufacturers will lower the cost of charges and make this method more affordable.
Breast lipofilling
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 process in the body, and after transplantation to the breast area, they take root in a new place.
Lipofilling is an excellent method to correct the shape of the breasts, eliminate asymmetry, reconstruct after surgery to remove tumors. But as a method to increase the size, it is ineffective, as it is actually able to add 0. 5-1 size breasts. Most often, several fat transfer operations are necessary to obtain a noticeable result.
It is known that breast lipofilling has not yet been approved by the World Health Organization and that the American Association of Plastic Surgeons does not recommend its use, since the profound consequences of such operations are still not known. In other words, the method is not well understood. Therefore, during lipofilling, surgeons place fat only in the subcutaneous and retromammary spaces of the gland. The glandular tissue itself is not affected.
Silicone implants
Breast augmentation by placing foreign objects in it - bone, glass, wool, sponge and rubber - has been known since the first decades of the 20th century. The consequences of these operations can not be called successful, because they mainly led to tissue rejection and even necrosis. Only the appearance of silicone implants in the early 1960s finally gave a boost 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 (give a greater effect of naturalness) 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 out, even if the shell is damaged, although this happens very rarely in the case. convenient.
Of course, breast augmentation with implants is the most effective method to achieve the best results. But it also has its limitations and drawbacks. First, an invasive operation is performed, which requires a preliminary examination and is associated with the usual operational risks.
Second, around the implant, like a foreign body, the same aforementioned connective tissue capsule grows, which in rare cases leads to the development of capsular contracture. Sometimes you even have 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 with tiny villi. Such a surface does not allow the growth of a too dense and hard capsule.
Third, the implanted breast will always be denser than the natural breast. When a woman lies on her back, these breasts do not spread.
Fourth, there is a scar up to 5 cm long: either under the breast, or on the areola, or under the armpit, depending on the surgical approach.
After breast augmentation, compression underwear should be worn for two months, then for another six months, the bust should be hidden from direct sunlight. By the way, the sun does not benefit a woman's breast at all, because ultraviolet light causes many unwanted processes in the mammary glands. It suffices to compare the quality of the skin in older women at the level of the neckline (the area exposed to the sun) and at the level of the breast.
Breast implants do not interfere with regular breast exams and allow the baby to be nourished (a lot 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 tissue still stretches with age. In this case, regular exercise and a surgical breast lift, if necessary, will be of benefit.
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 resort to it, but it is still not recommended to have surgery for girls under the age of 18. There is no upper age limit for breast augmentation (if all health indicators are normal), because beautiful breasts can be at any age!
