subject: Alternatives For Breast Augmentation [print this page] One important achievement for a woman is to look her best. If you look your best, self-confidence and self-esteem follow. A larger breast size is currently appealing to American men. For a woman who was born with a deficit in that area, a common solution is to have breast augmentation surgery, but breast augmentation costs a lot, and there are alternatives to consider.
Depending on your location and the hospital chosen for that procedure, the average cost for the procedure ranges from $4,000 to $10,000. The amount covers the expenses of the breast implants, the anesthesia, the facility fee, and the surgeon's fee. If the surgeon you have chosen is highly trained, skillful, and successful in all their procedures, then expect a higher surgeon's fee.
Finding a good cosmetic surgeon is quite tricky. A "board-certified" document can be easily forged, so make sure to check with the board of plastic surgery in your area and do some background research. Keep in mind that breast augmentation is quite risky. One wrong move and it can endanger your life so be very thorough in your research.
Fortunately, there are a lot of alternative options to enlarge your breasts involving herbs, pumps, and exercise.
Over the years there has been natural medicine that uses herbs to help breast enlargement. Phytoestrogens that are found in plants have the same effect as estrogen in our bodies. Estrogen is responsible for the growth of our breasts, so herbs containing them are claimed to help produce healthy breast tissue. However, phytoestrogens are a lot less potent than natural estrogen, may displace the natural estrogen, and so may have the reverse effect. They have not been proven to work in laboratory tests on humans; although, they have on rats.
One herbal option is breast enlargement creams. This is actually a whole new concept of breast enlargements. The cream supposedly works by stimulating the breasts' natural growth process. You may see results after 6 to 9 months of using the cream, so you would have to be patient. Nine months is a long time to devote to a technique that may not work.
We have not found scientifically valid results about the safety and efficacy of pills and creams; although, there are studies that have produced self-reported benefits.
Another option is the breast enlargement pumps. They work by applying suction to your breasts through cups attached to them. The suction will enable your breasts fats and fluids to flow towards the breast tissue cells forcing them to enlarge. This also helps the mammary gland tissue to build up and expand, thus increasing the production of collagen making your breasts firmer. A particular product has been tested and found safe and effective. It requires wearing a device 10-12 hours a day, and you shouldn't expect to see results until 16-20 weeks. They are only claiming a half-cup increase in size.
If you want to have a healthier breast enlargement option you could try breast enlargement exercise. Use those exercise that will help build up your pectoral muscles and achieve a higher and firmer breasts. This procedure is 100% safe without fearing for any consequences in the future.

Remember that making sacrifices for your man will make him feel appreciated and love. If he sees that you are making this sacrifice to make him happy he will also do the same thing for you.
