Lifestyle Choices

If your breasts are too small, the above kind of treatment can increase their size usually by somewhere between a half to two inches. If they are too large, the same treatment, because of its toning and firming action, will make them appear slightly smaller. But if you want a more drastic reduction, which I think should only be considered in cases of extreme size (a good bra can work wonders for the rest), the only alternative is surgery. Mammaplasty for breast reduction entails making several incisions in the breast area (just where depends on the particular patient) and then removing fat tissue. It usually also means moving the nipple itself, which results in scars around the nipple area and the strong possibility that the patient will be unable to breast-feed a child. But results from this operation are generally good.

Breast augmentation—making them larger—entails a small curved incision made under each breast and then the insertion of prostheses to create greater fullness. Filled with saline solution of silicone gel, the latest prostheses are so good that the shape of the bosom is usually excellent so long as the woman is standing. When she lies down, however, her breasts will not flatten out against her chest as natural breasts do, and of course she will always be left with a very thin crescent scar under each breast. These days modern prostheses never harden as the earlier ones did. They feel natural to the touch if somewhat firmer than most breasts and there is no change in sensitivity. You have to wear a bra for a few weeks after breast surgery while the tissue is healing and then, if you like, you can go without a bra.

The same exercises for firming a natural bosom are useful after breast surgery to strengthen the underlying muscles that give support to your new bosom.

One of the most interesting, useful, and potentially inexpensive (since you can do it yourself) methods of breast augmentation that I’ve come across has been done by hypnosis. American psychologist James E. Williams conducted a study of women students at North Texas State University who wanted larger busts. The graduate and undergraduate women were aged between eighteen and forty, the average being twenty-four. He hypnotized each woman in sessions of about an hour a week for a period of twelve weeks. Each time he attempted to regress the subject to the age when her breasts were developing and then suggested that she was experiencing the sensations of breast growth. Finally, he asked her to visualize her body image with the large bust size projected into a future date.

The results of the experiment were very successful. Women showed increases in bust size from one to three inches with the average increases being two and an eighth inches. But there is no reason to assume that this kind of size increase in underdeveloped breasts need be dependent on the presence of a hypnotist. The same thing can be brought about through the use of creative imagery. From the deeply relaxed state, visualize yourself in adolescence and imagine your breasts developing and finish off by visualizing yourself as an adult with fuller breasts. Mastering the techniques for deep relaxation and practicing this kind of creative imagery daily should bring similar results.
