There are a lot of Internet ads and late night infomercials about non-surgical methods for breast enlargement. Herbal supplements, breast creams, and even more extreme methods claim to provide results without going under the knife. While hesitation to commit to surgery is understandable, it's important to understand if non-surgical breast enlargement works at all, and if it's safe.

Breast Enlargement Herbal Pills

Unfortunately, knowing anything for sure about some of these products is impossible. Many of these products haven't been tested extensively for safety or even to confirm whether or not they work. For instance, many herbal supplements claim to provide results through specially designed herbal cocktails containing things like saw palmetto, black cohosh, and other herbs. However, many of these claims are unsubstantiated by any scientific trials.

In fact, most scientists say that the herbs contained in these supplements couldn't possibly be responsible for mammary growth. These non-surgical breast enlargement options are most likely scams. Anyone considering purchasing these herbal pills should research them very thoroughly; even see if they can find someone who's already used the treatment. That is the best way to avoid being ripped off.

Breast Enlargement Creams

Another option that's commonly seen is breast enlargement creams. These non-surgical breast enhancement methods require slathering the breasts in some sort of cream that claims to stimulate growth. Many of these creams are made of the same types of herbs as the herbal pills, and they aren't any more effective as creams than they were as pills.

Many supplements that claim to enhance breast size contain estrogen. While it is scientifically proven that estrogen can enhance breast size, the amount of estrogen it would take to make a noticeable increase in size will require a prescription. It's likely that these non-surgical breast enhancement options have estrogen, but it would be illegal for them to contain enough estrogen to actually enhance breast size.

The Brava System

One unorthodox option that may actually work is the Brava Breast Enhancement and Shaping System. This non-surgical breast enhancement works by wearing a pair of domes that cover the breast and produce constant suction. If worn for a long period of time, this system can actually produce a one-cup increase in breast size. This makes Brava the most likely candidate for women seeking an alternative to breast enhancement surgery.
