If you are looking for a boob job without the surgery, Botox may be the answer.

In the past, women looking to enhance the look of the breasts generally only had one option – a mastoplexy, more commonly known as a boob job. However Botox may now be a non-surgical option to help womens’ breasts look more pert.

The ‘Botox breast lift’ is said to be much cheaper than a it’s surgical alternative, and promises instant results, no recovery time required and is said to have no side effects.

Botox is most commonly known for its use in combatting wrinkles on the face. However because the toxin is injected into the muscle, paralyzing it, there are common side effects such as a ‘droopy’ look to the face. The Botox breast lift is slightly different in that the Botox injections are into the skin rather than the muscle. As the muscles around the breast area are not frozen, there is no loss os sensation in the area.

The Botox Breast Lift Procedure
Patients should expect a local anaesthetic cream to be applied to the breasts and the surrounding area. Botox is then administered via injection in and around all the breasts. It is important that the Doctor injects Botox all around the breast itself, including the front of the chest all the way to the armpits, to achieve the best effect.

Small injections of Botox are also applied to the areola (the coloured part of the nipple).

It is claimed that the injections will leave no bruising and will not cause any pain. The lack of surgical incisions means that the injections can be done over a lunch-time so no down-time is required.

Results from the Botox breast lift should be instantly visible, however it may take a few days for the full lifting and smoothing effect to become visible. A top-up treatment three weeks after the initial treatment is advised however it is not mandatory.

Initial results have shown that patients can expect breasts to be lifted by up to two centimetres with the volume of the breast increasing by up to 10 percent.

The longevity of the results will vary from person to person however repeat treatments are expected to be required every 6 months.

Women with larger cup sizes are cautioned that the technique is probably not for them – larger breasts may be too heavy for the treatment to have any effect. Therefore anyone who has a cup size larger than a ‘C’ may find this Botox treatment ineffective.
