Creams For Boosting Busts:

Late last year, Reuters published a news piece on the increasing popularity of breast lift creams among Asian women. These ‘breast enhancement’ creams are viewed by a majority of slender-framed Asian women to resurrect their flat bustlines. The financial officer of a distributor of breast creams even claimed to sell more than one million boxes per year.

Regardless of the fact that breast implants and other plastic surgery for the breast enjoy immense popularity in the South Korea, Hong Kong and Singapore markets, women seem to prefer less expensive and non-invasive breast creams.

The FDA, the regulating body in the U.S. for health products, frowns on these breast enhancement creams. According to the researchers at the FDA, “At best, devices promoted as breast developers merely strengthen and develop the muscles that support the breasts, and exercising these muscles will not really increase breast size.”

Breast implants that are used for breast enhancement and breast augmentation are however approved by the FDA. Made of silicone, these breast implants are known to last for ten years in some cases.

While a breast augmentation surgery is by no means a simple and risk-free procedure, it is an approved and safer method for breast enhancement. Health experts discourage the use of breast enhancement creams and lotions as they are known to contain phytoestrogens which can prove very harmful for women prone to particular types of breast cancer.

It’s your body; do not let it fall prey to false promises of enhancing it. Visit the Plastic Surgery Institute of California for breast augmentation surgery.
