Women thought about breast augmentation in the Middle Ages. So the look of a magnificent bust was created due to the special cut of the clothing. However, these first secrets of the "feminine cut" 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 breastfeeding! Modern women are still worried about the attractiveness of their body, and the fashion for natural beauty and a sporty look just pushes them to move forward.
The approach to the problem of breast augmentation usually begins with the use of various "folk" methods, which often do not give a tangible effect. So the woman thinks of more radical methods. And then advertising comes to the rescue, which offers many options for increasing breast size.
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 good in general for health, rich in vitamins, but it will help to increase the breasts only if the woman recovers. In this matter, cabbage is also a "helper", depending on how much and with what you eat. . .
By the way, nutritionists say that when you gain a pound of weight, no more than 10-20 grams are sent to the chest.
By the way, cabbage has a bad side effect - it causes fermentation processes in the intestines and can cause flatulence and bloating. So you shouldn't be zealous with using this product.
The second place in breast diets is occupied by beer, or rather, yeast. As with cabbage, the main consequence of frequent consumption of such foods is excess weight. Beer, like a intoxicated drink, is credited with the ability to affect male hormone levels and even potency. Much has been said about this in articles on beer alcoholism. I would like to immediately note that women who dream of increasing estrogen by drinking beer are unlikely to be successful.
Bottled beer hardly contains real hops. Even the yeast, pressed or dry, is pasteurized. As a result, there is no guarantee that a fermented yeast diet will enlarge the breasts and cause liver and digestive problems.
Exercises
The second popular way to increase breast size is through physical activity.
We immediately make a reservation that we have nothing against such loads. Helpful. Helps keep the body in good shape. Yes, and it relieves psychological stress.
But the breasts do not enlarge. If you "rock" your pectoral muscle, you will be able to slightly lift the torso that fell after giving birth. But you won't be able to do that anymore. Exercise leads to thinness and weight loss, and subcutaneous fat in the chest area is burned faster than on the thighs themselves.
Cosmetics
There are many creams, gels and oils available for breast augmentation. The composition contains a hormonal component, so there is a chance to make breasts bigger for a while. Slightly - usually 0. 5-1 in size.
Medicines 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, as it is dangerous to take hormonal drugs on your own!
Some gynecologists are sure that the uncontrolled use of "breast enlargement" creams and oils, on the other hand, 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 "nice" side effect.
But when taking the pills, this is a temporary issue. Perhaps not without consequences, as it can cause hormonal disturbances 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" into it to add volume are over a hundred years old. First, the breasts were enlarged with paraffin injections. The first operation dates back to 1889. The result was, but was accompanied by a number of side effects. Paraffin is a foreign substance 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 chest. Unlike paraffin, these materials are perceived by the body much better. 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. Such capsules also form around a common splinter. The problem is that the capsule can get very hard. Each dispersed drop is covered with a capsule and the silicone inserted 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 actress and model of the 50s-60s, 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, documents from the star's personal doctor became publicly available.
Inflammation and gel migration into the breast may require re-surgery. 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 mammologist to differentiate (distinguish) a gel in a gland from a tumor. Such patients are recommended to perform diagnostics "in the same hands" and to store the search results for comparative characteristics.
Injection of hyaluronic acid into the breast
New is the change in breast size with hyaluronic acid. So far there is the only injectable filler designed specifically to increase the volume of the breasts, buttocks and other parts of the body.
Its effect is similar to that of any other hyaluronic acid-based filler: when it enters the tissue, it fills the intercellular space, thus increasing the volume. Like any hyaluronic acid, the gel will dissolve within a year. There are no particular drawbacks in this method, although there are descriptions of the migration of the gel outside the mammary gland, which may be due to the injection volume being too large. On average, 200-300 ml is needed for breast augmentation.
Let's now turn to the disadvantage of the method. The average cost is much cheaper than the cost of hyaluronic fillers for the face, but taking into account the need to introduce large volumes, the total amount is quite high. And the effect will only last a year. . .
It is hoped that competition from manufacturers will reduce the price of fillers and make this method more accessible.
Breast lipofilling
The patient's fat is used to fill the breasts 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 they take root in a new place.
Lipofilling is a great method of correcting the shape of the breast, eliminating asymmetry, reconstruction after surgery to remove tumors. But as a method of increasing size, it is ineffective, as it is actually able to add breasts of 0. 5 - 1 size. Most of the time, several fat transfer operations are required to get a noticeable 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, as the far-reaching consequences of such operations are not yet 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 inserting foreign objects into it - bones, glass, wool, sponge and rubber - has been known since the early decades of the 20th century. The consequences of these operations cannot be called successful, as they led mainly 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 plant 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 holding its shape and not spreading, even if the shell is damaged, although this is very rarely done in practice.
Of course, breast augmentation with implants is the most effective method for getting 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.
Secondly, around the implant, like a foreign body, the same aforementioned capsule of connective tissues grows, which in rare cases leads to the development of capsular contracture. Sometimes you also 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 an excessively dense and rigid capsule.
Thirdly, the implanted breast will always be denser than the natural one. When a woman lies on her back, such breasts do not spread.
Fourthly, a scar up to 5 cm long remains: either under the breast, or on the areola, or in 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 the female breast at all, as ultraviolet light causes many undesirable processes in the mammary glands. It is enough to compare the skin quality of older women in the décolleté area (the area exposed to sunlight) and in the breast area.
Breast implants do not interfere with regular breast exams and allow the baby to be fed (a lot depends on how the implant is placed). All implants have a lifetime warranty, although breasts may lose their original shape over the years as the tissues still stretch with age. In this case, both regular exercise and a surgical breast lift if necessary will help.
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 not recommended to undergo surgery for girls under 18. There is no maximum age limit for breast augmentation (if all health indicators are normal), because beautiful breasts can be at any age!
