Breast Lift - Weighing the Effectiveness of Breast-Firming Creams
As women age, have babies, gain and lose weight, their breasts start to sag a bit.
One day, you notice that your perky 22-year old bust-line is gone! In true female fashion, you become proactive and start to research all the ways to reverse this sag.
Sometimes, going for a surgery is not the option.
Whether you don't have the funds for such an expensive procedure or you just don't have the time off from work for recovery, or you simply cringe at the sight of needles and definitely scalpels, a traditional breast lift is just not an option for your sagging bust-line.
Here's the premise behind firming creams on the market, what they may be able to do, and how they work: There are a couple of factors that work with the creams that give the effect of a breast lift.
First of all, there are certain herbs and other substances that are absorbed into the body to promote tissue growth.
The most common product found in these topical solutions is Pueraria mirifica, which is a plant-based substance found in Thailand.
It contains the phytoestrogens, the plant equivalent to the female hormone estrogen.
The theory is that these phytoestrogens act much like estrogen during that time of the month and your breasts may swell or feel firmer.
Another possible active ingredient in breast lift firming creams is Retin-A.
This substance stimulates the production of collagen which produces volume and improves skin elasticity.
Aside from the ingredients that are supposed to promote collagen and tissue growth, the simple act of applying the lotion is supposed to help firm things up.
While massaging the lotion into the affected areas, you are also improving blood flow as well as unleashing any toxins that may be trapped in the tissue.
This leads to overall healthier skin.
Exercise and strength training, targeting the chest also help improve tone and tautness of the area.
The creams, massage, and exercise work best in conjunction with each other.
Now, many of these products recommend combining the topical product with an herbal pill supplement.
But, before you put anything in or on your body, you should consult with your physician or a cosmetic surgeon for the facts to avoid a serious allergic reaction or drug interaction.
Always inspect the ingredients of any of these products to make sure they are safe.
Take all claims with a grain of salt and consult a knowledgeable physician for advice.
While these products are much cheaper than surgery, you can still throw a lot of money down the drain trying to find something that works and, even then, you may not see the results you want.
The best candidates for this are women who still have decent skin elasticity and only need a minimal breast lift effect.
For anything significant or dramatic, seeking out help from a plastic surgeon is going to be your best bet.
