The Internet is a great place for shopping, research, and entertainment, but just about anyone with a computer can publish about cosmetic surgery issues whether or not they have any medical training. Therefore, patients should keep their research on procedures such as breast augmentation focused on physician sites where the physician is not only licensed to practice medicine, but also who is board certified in the area of cosmetic surgery. Women often ask Dr. Nikko and his medical staff about advertisements they hear for pills or dietary supplements promising to increase breast size by 1-2 cup sizes in as little as a few months. Remember what your parents told you: If it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Lots of these pills contain chemicals called plant-based phytoestrogens as well as other ingredients such as ginseng and others. The phytoestrogens supposedly stimulate estrogen receptors in the female body. Whether these supplements have efficacy or not is a sideline issue when considering patient health and safety. There have been no official clinical trials to determine the efficacy or safety of these products, and medical science has not evaluated the long-term effects of targeting estrogen receptors in this way. Dr. Nikko reminds his patients that just because something claims to be natural or organic does not make it safe. There are hundreds of natural, organic substances that can be extremely harmful to one’s health, and this is especially true with potential drug interactions. If the patient is looking to enhance her breast size, then the most effective way to do so is through breast augmentation. To date, breast implants are the single most studied medical device in the history of medicine, and the science supports that breast augmentation is safe. If breast augmentation is not for you because of personal or economic reasons, then your money is better spent purchasing bras and bathing suits that enhance the bust line rather than dietary supplements promising larger breasts.
