According to statistics, the vast majority of women are not satisfied with the size of their breasts. Without intervention, the bust can increase during pregnancy, with weight gain, before menstruation. In other cases, to correct the shape, it will be necessary to resort to methods that have proven themselves: surgery, massage, sports, cosmetology.
In order to choose an effective and safe way to enlarge the mammary glands, it is necessary to take into account their initial state, the planned result of the transformation, the general health of the patient.
Breast augmentation surgery techniques
Breast augmentation with implants is characterized by access to the pocket where the silicone prosthesis will be located.
In most cases, the doctor will cut the tissue around the circumference of the nipple. This is due to the fact that the scar will be invisible on the areola, and a reduction in the diameter of the nipple is required for almost all patients who decide on plastic surgery.
Access through the armpit or the navel area is used less frequently, as this technique is much more complicated and requires long-term rehabilitation.
The method to perform the operation may differ in the location of the implant: under the gland, under the muscle or a combined method.
Projected result of breast augmentation with implants
As a result of the operation with the use of silicone prostheses, it is possible to enlarge the bust in various sizes. But to assess how harmonious the new shapes will be, 3D modeling is used - visualization in a graphics program into which the patient's photographs are uploaded.
Almost 95% of women who have undergone mammoplasty are satisfied with the result, in contrast to the statistics on another popular operation: rhinoplasty, where the number of repeat visits to the surgeon is high.
Types of implants
Implants are distinguished by their shape:
- round;
- anatomical, teardrop-shaped.
The choice is made by the patient according to their aesthetic preferences and their body type. Anatomical prostheses look natural; once the tissue has healed, the surgeon's intervention will not be noticeable. But round implants do not lose their shape, even several decades after the operation. To avoid the migration of artificial breasts, you should choose prostheses with a textured surface rather than a smooth one.
It may also differ in the composition of the implant filling:
- silicone;
- biogel;
- saline solution.
Saline-filled dentures are soft to the touch and most affordable. The gel and silicone make the implants firm and elastic. Gel-filled dentures are not always rigid - there are three degrees of density:
- soft, which lose their shape faster than others, but are indistinguishable from the mammary glands;
- firm, retaining its shape for a long time;
- soft touch, which is a compromise between hard and soft.
To select an implant, the surgeon must describe in detail what result he wants to see after the operation and whether the bust should look natural.
Breast lift
With fluctuations in body weight, lactation or with an initially large breast size, ptosis inevitably develops: the bust sags, it seems empty. In this case, it is required to remove excess tissue to restore a beautiful shape. In this case, prostheses may not be used, as visually the breast appears more voluminous after the operation.
The method of surgery depends on the severity of the ptosis. With a slight lift, periareolar surgery is usually used, in which the surgeon makes two incisions: along the contour of the nipple areola and above. The excess tissue flap is excised and the edges of the two incisions are sutured.
If the patient's breasts are more deformed in the upper half and the nipples are directed downward, the half-moon cut method is used, when the nipple is elevated in the same manner as for periareolar mastopexy.
For significant ptosis, an anchor lift is used, in which an anchor-shaped incision is made, the upper point of which begins at the nipple and the lower line runs horizontally along the crease of the breast.
Endoscopic breast augmentation
Endoscopy differs from the usual operation by using special equipment that allows you to make an incision no more than 4 cm long to insert the prosthesis from a point away from the chest. The surgeon can observe the implant placement process under the muscles on a screen, where the image is transmitted from a camera-equipped endoscope.
This method of surgical intervention is safe, although no one can guess the unnaturalness of the breast, since there will be no signs of intervention on the bust.
Breast augmentation in the salon
If you plan to increase your bust by no more than 1 size, you can resort to cosmetic procedures that stimulate blood circulation and strengthen the skin.
Myostimulation
During myostimulation, there is an effect of current discharges on the pectoral muscles. The mammary glands do not increase in size, but the muscles will become voluminous. A similar effect can be achieved with the help of physical exercises, but sports, unlike the course of myostimulation, have many contraindications.
Microcurrent therapy
Microcurrents, like myostimulation, are a procedure in which an electrical current is applied. But in this case, it does not affect the muscles, but the skin. The improvement of local metabolism influences the reduction of collagen fibers, responsible for the firmness of the skin.
Laser procedure
The laser helps to firm the skin and eliminate minor ptosis. In some clinics, the procedure is called laser resurfacing - by strengthening the frame of the chest, you can make it more voluminous and elastic, but it will not be possible to increase the size of the bust in this way.
Mesotherapy or biorevitalization
Injection cosmetology is one of the most effective ways to improve the condition of the skin. Biorevitalization and mesotherapy allow you to inject hyaluronic acid and vitamin complexes to the desired depth of the skin. And the injections themselves cause accelerated production of elastin and collagen for the regeneration of needle-damaged skin.
Treatments designed to improve skin condition cannot enlarge the breasts. But you can introduce fillers to the bust, which will make the forms lush for up to six months.
Before breast augmentation with contour plasty, you must make sure that there are no contraindications:
- decrease in blood viscosity;
- menstruation;
- infection in the body;
- allergies or autoimmune diseases.
How to enlarge breasts using folk methods?
Many alternative methods of breast enlargement are often ineffective. Therapy methods such as massages, medicines, sports and special cosmetics have a proven clinical effect, while decoctions, infusions and lotions do not affect the size of the mammary glands and muscles in any way.
Massage to enlarge the breasts
Massage is an effective method to enlarge the breasts without surgery or injections. Helps improve local circulation, strengthen muscles and tighten skin. Immediately after the procedure, the effect of a small breast augmentation occurs,
, but disappears after a few hours.
Contraindications to massage are:
- cysts;
- neoplasms;
- sensitive skin prone to irritation.
There are various methods of massage, but with any technology, you must first perform all manipulations with one breast, and only then move on to the other.
Water massage of the chest
The hydromassage can be done while showering every day. After adjusting the pressure so that the water gushes out strongly, you need to massage the chest in a circle for 2-3 minutes on each side. The water should be nice, but not too hot.
Later, you can complicate the procedure by making the shower contrast. In order not to catch a cold, you should gradually increase the time of exposure to cold water: first 10 seconds with a minute of rest, then 20, 30 and 60 seconds, respectively.
Corrective breast massage
The breast reshaping massage is performed with the help of the hands, which is why it is also called manual. It acts on both the muscles and the skin, thus contributing to a rounder and more toned bust.
The following manipulations are carried out during the massage:
- three fingers (middle, index and ring) should be placed around the chest, gradually increasing pressure;
- slide fingers from nipples to upper chest;
- pinches the chest, trying not to pull the skin, but to act on the soft tissues.
- taking the chest with one hand, the other should gently caress it;
This simple breast enlargement massage includes all the steps of a classic massage: stroking, pinching and stroking. In this case, the procedure takes no more than 5-7 minutes.
Vacuum breast massage
The vacuum massage increases the size of the bust in a few minutes, but the effect wears off quickly. The procedure requires a special device in which each breast is placed separately, which allows a pump to be used to pump air to create negative pressure, which improves the blood supply.
Japanese breast massage
Japanese or acupressure massage promises to make the shapes more curvilinear by acting on the active biological points found:
- on both sides of the thyroid gland;
- above the shoulder blades;
- above the clavicle.
Points should be pressed for 5-7 seconds with a 20 second pause. The total duration of the procedure is 5 minutes.
Masks to enlarge the breasts
Traditional medicine offers several ways to enlarge the breasts without special devices or drugs.

The masks do not have scientific evidence of effectiveness, but they take good care of the skin of the breasts.
