Ever feel like whenever you bring up breast augmentation, most people seem to start giving you advice without actually going into the details? There are several things we must know before going into any type of surgery, but even more so when we're talking about our breasts.

Breast augmentation can be a life-changing surgery, and it is essential to understand the different types of procedures that are on the market, as well as their varying levels of risks.

Breast Enlargement Pills: A Major Safety Concern

In general, breast enhancement supplements are not likely to work and, in most cases, have undesirable side effects. Breast enlargement supplements such as pills typically are made of a mixture of several herbs and natural products.

Even though marketers and magazines might advertise breast enlargement pills as a miraculous, natural solution, they have not been approved by medical research and are not recommended by doctors. The ingredients in these supplements aren't found over-the-counter for a good reason and are not easy to acquire.

Breast enlargement, in general, can be a side effect of several prescription drugs. Estrogen from hormone therapy, birth control pills, and some antidepressants might induce mild or medium breast enlargement, but should never be taken as breast enlargement pills.

You must also consider that these pills have not been tested for safety. Since tests have yet cleared this kind of supplement, severe side effects can occur. If you're considering taking breast enhancement pills, please talk with your doctor or care provider first.

Breast Enhancement with Implants

A breast enlargement using implants is a different, yet still risky subject. Implants filled with either silicone gel or saline can cause several side effects that include swelling, sharp pain, bleeding, capsular contracture, or even infection around the implant. 

Some patients have suffered from severe infection in the treated area, changes in nipple sensation, and even breakage or leakage of the implant, requiring a second surgery to resolve these issues. 

There's a risk of rippling and visibility through the breast tissue that causes severe pain, necessitating the possible removal of implants if they're too large for the body. Visible stretch marks and scars can also appear, affecting the overall look of the breasts.

The recovery process can also take longer than expected. According to most women that have undergone breast augmentation with implants, you will have to wait at least three weeks without any significant movement, so if you have a full agenda, this surgery is not your best option.

Why You Should Go With AirSculpt® Up A Cup™

Our patented fat transfer gives you fuller breasts naturally without requiring a lengthy downtime. Surgeons use your own viable body fat to enhance the breasts, usually transferring it from the thighs or abdomen. After the body reabsorbs an expected amount of fat, you will enjoy fuller, prominent, natural breasts while feeling healthy and rejuvenated.

AirSculpt® Up a Cup™ uses one's own fat to increase the breasts by about one cup size. The result is a pair of breasts that look, feel, and move naturally without any significant complication, contrary to what is experienced following breast implants or supplements.

A surgical breast enhancement is typically done under general anesthesia, but Up A Cup™ is minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. This allows surgeons to maneuver patients during the procedure to achieve the best, most balanced results possible. Up A Cup™ also requires only a couple of days of downtime, and you'll even be able to walk right out of the procedure on your own!

For most patients, the lack of general anesthesia is one of the most compelling aspects of AirSculpt® Up a Cup™, as it allows them to get bigger breasts while feeling safer.  If you live in or around the Toronto area and are contemplating breast enlargement pills or implants, consider AirSculpt® as a safer, more effective alternative.
