Breast Augmentation Surgery

Share This:

Breast augmentation surgery is more popular than ever, with hundreds of thousands of women having the procedure each year. However, due to mounting evidence of health complications, along with the need for repeat surgeries and exhorbitant costs, many women are now opting for natural alternatives to increase the size of their breasts.

The problem is that there are very few studies on the long term safety of the three main types of implants - saline, silicone and the newer soybean oil varieties. Moreover, most women are unaware of the health risks and costs involved with breast augmentation surgery.

Following are some facts to consider when it comes to breast implants. This information comes directly from FDA reports:

• Implants will not last a lifetime, and you will most likely have to have them removed at some point due to a rupture or other problem.
• You will most likely need additional operations to address a health issue which has arisen from a complication from the surgery
• Oftentimes the result of surgery is cosmetically undesirable, and cannot be reversed. (We've all seen breast augmentation photos of botched surgeries)
• There is well-documented evidence of breast pain, asymmetry, loss of nipple sensitivity, ruptures, deflation and infections, among other local complications.

It is also important to note that breast augmentation surgery is not covered by health insurance unless it is for reconstruction, and additional visits and procedures are also not covered. Oftentimes follow-up costs far exceed the initial costs of surgery...something to keep in mind.

So what is the alternative for women looking to increase their bust size? Many women are turning to natural breast enlargement methods such as herbal supplements, some of which have been shown to have significant effects.

After adding up the costs, researching the health problems and viewing breast augmentation photos, many women realize that surgery might not be worth the risk, and see natural supplements as a viable alternative. Although more research needs to be conducted, these herbal enhancers are definitely worth a look, as they may be able to increase your breast size without surgery.

Please note you should speak with your doctor before opting for breast augmentation surgery. He or she can further oultine the risks, costs and other important information you need to know.
