Women have been thinking about breast augmentation since the Middle Ages. Then the appearance of a magnificent bust was created thanks to the special cut of the clothing. However, these first secrets of the "female cut" are still used today, in the same bras with push-ups. But how beautiful look natural breasts that have not lost their shape with age or after lactation! Modern women are still worried about the attractiveness oftheir own body, and the fashion for natural beauty and sporty looks only pushes them.
The approach to breast augmentation usually begins with the use of various "folk" methods, which often do not give a tangible effect. Then the woman thinks of more radical methods. And then comes to the aid of advertising, which offers many opportunities to increase breast size.
Diet
Let's start with the basic - breast diet. Many people attribute the magical properties of cabbage.
Older women are of little use to her. Of course, the product is generally good for health, rich in vitamins, but will contribute to breast augmentation only if the woman recovers. In this regard, cabbage is also a "helper", depending on how much and with what you eat.
By the way, nutritionists say that when gaining a kilogram of weight, no more than 10-20 grams are sent to the breast.
By the way, cabbage has a bad side effect - it causes fermentation processes in the intestines and can cause flatulence and bloating. So you should not be jealous of using this product.
The second place in the diet of the breast is occupied by beer, or rather yeast. As with cabbage, the main consequence of frequent consumption of such foods is overweight. Beer, as an intoxicating drink, is credited with the ability to affect male hormone levels and even potency. There is a lot of talk about this in articles about beer alcoholism. I would like to immediately notice that women who dream of increasing estrogen by drinking beer are unlikely to succeed.
Bottled beer hardly contains real hops. Yeast, whether pressed or dry, is also pasteurized. Accordingly, there is no guarantee that a boiled yeast diet will enlarge the breasts and will not cause liver and digestive problems.
Exercises
The second popular way to increase breast size is through physical activity.
Let's make a reservation immediately that we have nothing against such cargo. Useful. Helps keep the body in good shape. Yes, and relieves psychological stress.
But the breast does not increase. If you "swing" the pectoral muscle, you will be able to slightly lift the bust that has fallen after birth. But you will no longer be able to do it. Exercise leads to slimness and weight loss, and subcutaneous fat in the chest burns faster. than on the same thighs.
Cosmetics
There are many creams, gels and oils for breast augmentation. The composition contains a hormonal component, so there is a chance to make a bigger bust for a while. Slightly - usually with 0, 5-1 size.
Mastopathy drugs have a similar effect.
As soon as the girl stops using them, the breasts return to their size after a week.
Important point: the doctor prescribes creams for mastopathy, as it is dangerous to take hormonal drugs alone!
Some gynecologists are convinced that the uncontrolled use of creams and oils "for breast augmentation", on the contrary, can cause neoplasms of the mammary glands.
Hormones
Some women decide to take hormonal drugs for breast augmentation. It is known that some birth control pills have this very "quite" side effect.
But when you take pills, it's a temporary matter. Maybe not without consequences - as it can cause hormonal disorders and the appearance of overweight. However, many women have been taking birth control pills for decades without any complications.
Injections
Attempts to change the size of the breast by injecting "something" into it to add volume are more than a hundred years old. The breasts were first enlarged with paraffin injections. The first operation dates back to 1889. The result was, but was accompanied by numerousside effects Paraffin is a foreign substance that results in rejection, and inflammatory processes begin in the chest that could even lead to the patient's death.
Much later, liquid silicone, polyacrylamide gel (PAGE) and its analogues began to be injected into the breast. Unlike paraffin, these materials are absorbed by the body much better. Nevertheless, there is a serious risk of capsular contracture. Around any (even theoretically harmless) foreign body, the body forms a protective capsule that grows from connective tissue. Such capsules form even around a common fever. The problem is that the capsule can become very hard. Each sprayed drop is covered with a capsule, and the silicone placed inside the capsule "hardens". As a result, there are frequent cases when after injections of synthetic gel the breast begins to harden, the patient experiences pressure, pain. By the way, the famous actress and model from the 50s to the 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 the documents of the star's personal physician became available to the public.
Inflammation and gel migration in the breast may require re-operation. However, it is very difficult to remove all the silicones embedded in the breast. But the main problem with silicone gel is the woman's doom to the inability to reliably diagnose the breast. It is very difficult for a mammologist to distinguish a gel in a gland from a tumor. It is recommended that such patients be diagnosed "in the same hands" and that the results of the comparative study be kept.
Injection of hyaluronic acid into the breast
A novelty 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 bust, buttocks and other parts of the body.
Its effect is similar to any other filler based on hyaluronic acid - 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 disadvantages of this method, although there are descriptions of the migration of the gel outside the mammary gland, which may be due to the excessive volume of injection. On average, 200-300 ml are needed for breast augmentation.
Now let's move on to the disadvantage of the method. The average price is much cheaper than the price of hyaluronic face fillers, but given the need to introduce large volumes, the total is quite large. And the effect will last only a year. . .
We hope that competition from manufacturers will reduce the cost of refills and make this method more affordable.
Breast lipophilization
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 in the body and after transplantation in the breast area take root in a new place.
Lipofilling is an excellent method for correcting the shape of the breasts, removing asymmetry, reconstruction after surgery to remove tumors. But as a method of increasing the size, it is ineffective, as it is actually able to add breasts with a size of 0, 5 - 1. More often, several operations are needed to transfer fat to achieve a noticeable result.
It is known that lipofilling of the breast 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 space 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 twentieth 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 60's 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.
Modern implants can take many forms. For breast augmentation, either teardrop-shaped (give a greater effect than naturalness) or round implants are used. Inside, they are filled with a thick cohesive silicone gel that has the property of retaining its shape and not spreading, even if the shell is damaged, although this happens very rarely in practice.
Of course, breast augmentation with implants is the most effective method for achieving the best results. But it also has its limitations and shortcomings. First, an invasive operation is performed, which requires prior examination and is associated with common operative risks.
Secondly, around the implant, like a foreign body, grows the same aforementioned capsule of connective tissue, 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 small forks. Such a surface does not allow the growth of too dense and hard capsule.
Third, the implanted breast will always be thicker than the natural one. When a woman lies on her back, such breasts do not spread.
Fourth, a scar up to 5 cm long remains: 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, and then for another six months the bust should be hidden from direct sunlight. By the way, the sun is not good for women's breasts at all, because ultraviolet light provokes many unwanted processes in the mammary glands. It is enough to compare the quality of the skin in older women in the décolleté area (the area open to sunlight) and in the breast area.
Breast implants do not interfere with regular breast examinations 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 with age. In this case, both regular exercise and surgical breast lift, if necessary, will be helpful.
Breast augmentation with silicone implants remains the most popular plastic surgery in the world, according to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons. Women of all ages resort to it, but it is still not recommended to undergo surgery for girls under 18 years. There is no upper age limit for breast augmentation (if all health indicators are normal), because beautiful breasts can be at any age!
