Many women are interested in breast enhancement but want to avoid breast implant surgery. Fortunately, there are many other options for breast enlargement.
Bras
The easiest way to enhance your breasts is to purchase a padded push-up bra. You've probably heard of the "Wonder Bra." There are a number of bras like this. They come in a number of different styles. There are swimsuits that do the same thing. They will give you instant breast enlargement as well as making your breasts appear shapelier.
Breast Enhancement Exercises
There are physical exercises you can do to enhance your breasts. You can look these up online. These exercises will firm your breasts but will not really make them larger. They will, however, tone them and make them more shapely. The increased muscle tone will make them appear larger.
Here are a couple of exercises to get you started.
Pectoral Press- Using two three-five pound weights, lie on your back with your knees bent. With your arms outstretched to each side slowly bring your arms together and hold for four seconds, then slowly lower your arms again. Repeat ten times.
Butterfly Press- Using two three-five pound weights, sit on the edge of a chair with your back straight and arms at your sides. Slowly raise your arms to the side to shoulder level. Hold for four seconds, then slowly return to starting position. Repeat ten times.
Pectoral Push-ups- Lie face down on the floor and raise up as if doing conventional push-ups but keep your forearms and elbows on the floor. Hold for thirty seconds. Repeat ten times.
Breast exercises are not a quick fix. It may take four to six weeks before you notice changes in your breasts.
Breast Enlargement Creams
Then there are breast enhancement creams. Believe it or not, a lot of these actually do work. Look for creams that contain an ingredient called pueraria mirifica, which comes from a plant found in South Asian countries. This plant contains phyto-estrogens, which are bio-identical to estrogens produced in a woman's body during puberty. These are the hormones that cause breast growth at that time. They cause breast enlargement. As an added benefit, phyto-estrogens also reduce wrinkles and keep skin looking young.
Other common ingredients in breast enhancement creams include red clover, which also contains phyto-estrogens; collagen, which helps the skin be more elastic and smooth, reducing wrinkles and making the breasts more shapely; and vitamin E, which hydrates the skin and keeps it smooth. You may also find breast creams with herbs like wild yam, fennel, and black cohosh, which all contain phyto-estrogens in small amounts.
Breast creams usually start to work within a couple of weeks, but can take a month or more before you see the full effect. It may vary depending on the particular cream you use.
Oral Breast Enlargement Supplements
There are also oral supplements you can take for breast enhancement. Look for supplements that contain all natural ingredients so you don't have to worry about side effects. Some ingredients that stimulate breast enlargement naturally include fennel, fenugreek, dandelion, blessed thistle, and saw palmetto.
As with breast creams, the amount of time before you see the effects of the oral supplement can vary depending on the particular supplement you use.
Many women take a comprehensive approach, using exercise and a breast cream and/or an oral supplement to enhance their breasts. They may also wear a push-up bra for a "quick fix."
