Small breasts reamins
firm, give adequate milk and enough enjoyment too
Unfortunately, we live in a culture which suggests that impossible
standards and physical beauty are the norm. Most of us are too fat,
too thin or too blemished to conform to the images churned out by
the media. Many of us feel self-conscious and dissatisfied as a result.
In an ideal world, we would be judged only on our personality, and
not on our appearance. Breast size is a prime example. Breast enlargement
operations are becoming much more common and sales of push-up bras
are booming. This is despite the fact that small breasts are as functional
as large breasts for breastfeeding, don't go droopy with age, are
a kilo less flesh to carry around, are better for sports and look
good. There's no need for operations and scars and, that kind of thing.
Boob boosters might be the answer. Department stores sell gel-filled
breast enhancers that you tuck into your bra, which feel like real
breasts. Or look for gel-filled bras.
Exercises can increase the size of the muscle beneath the breast,
but will not increase the actual breast tissue. There is no scientific
evidence that electrical stimulation, non-hormonal creams or massage
treatments have any effect. Females with large breasts often find
that they become much larger with hormone treatments, such as the
oral contraceptive pill or hormone replacement therapy, or during
pregnancy. This does not usually happen if the breasts were small
to start with.
Breast implant surgery (breast augmentation) is the only method of
making breasts larger. After your discussion with the surgeon, go
home and consider the information for a few days. In fact, the official
recommendation is that there should be a 'cooling-off' period of several
days between seeing the surgeon and having the operation, to give
you sufficient time in which to change your mind. Bear in mind that
your implant will not last forever. The average silicone implant lasts
about 16 years, so it might need to be replaced at some time in the
future.
The implant is placed behind the breast tissue, between
it and the chest wall muscle (although very occasionally, it is placed
behind the chest wall muscle, between the muscle and the ribcage).
It is never placed in the breast tissue, so it does not interfere
with the function of the breast and you can breastfeed later on if
you wish. The implants come in a great variety of sizes, so a correct-sized
implant can be used make your breasts look similar.
