subject: Some Alternatives To A Breast Augmentation [print this page] There are ways to attempt a breast augmentation without actually undergoing the surgery. These methods actually fall short of the results a surgical procedure can produce, but for someone wondering about the alternatives or looking to get an idea of what this transformation might be like, it cannot hurt to look into something different. In the end, with the help of a plastic surgeon, a woman can decide which option is best for her body and her budget.
Padded Bras and Prosthetics
Everyone has walked through a store and seen the numerous padded bras available. There are some that just add some lift while others are able to increase a woman's bra size by one or two cups. The results only last as long as the bra is worn so it cannot be depended on to provide a permanent solution. However, if a woman is considering breast augmentation, a padded bra can help decide which size might be best and how clothes will fit differently. Prosthetics also create a different look and give a woman some idea of how her appearance will change after surgery.
Vacuum Bras
You have probably seen advertisements or heard a friend talk about a vacuum bra that allows a woman to skip over a surgical breast augmentation. There are some that claim the products works and can actually show the changes done to their body. The problem is the cost of the machine. In some cases, it can cost up to half of a traditional surgery and take several months to show the full results, if they are achieved. Unfortunately, this is not something dependable enough for most women to rely on.
Fat Grafting
Fat grafting is a breast augmentation surgery that takes fat from another part of the body and adds it to a woman's chest. Today this procedure is being used to give women with implants a more natural appearance, and in some cases, the injections can help create a more natural look after reconstructive surgery. There are some surgeons that are offering this type of surgery to women looking for a change. There is still some discussion as to whether or not this is a permanent solution and whether it gives a patient noticeable results.
Supplements and Creams
There is no evidence that supplements and creams can provide the same results as a breast augmentation. This does not stop women from making the purchases and trying them out. There are infomercials and websites claiming to have the next solution to a woman's issues with the size of her chest. Aside from the lack of results, there are some concerns about products being offered as all natural only to have negative side effects in the body. All natural does not always mean that it is good for the body.
