Until recently, women who wanted larger breasts had to undergo cosmetic surgery and implants. However, thanks to a new filler called the Macrolane filler, larger breasts are just an injection away.

Macrolane can also help those who are thinking about going under the knife in order to get bigger breasts, but are unsure about their decision and would like to ‘see’ the results before they go ahead with the operation. Macrolane is only temporary therefore the results fade over time.

For those women who are looking for larger breasts but who want to exhaust every option before going under the surgeon’s knife, breast enlargement pills look like a good option. There are a myriad of pills on the market and they can be bought in a variety of places, from the internet to televisions to women’s magazines.

A cosmetic surgeon has found the recipe for perfect breasts. Patrick Mallucci has spent hours poring over photos of topless models in magazines and tabloid newspapers and believes he has come up with a theory for perfect breasts.

According to Mallucci, the perfect breast has a nipple that is tilted slightly upwards, and the breast should have a slightly smaller upper half than the bottom half – an example of an excellent pair of breasts is model Caprice, with Victoria Beckham being an example of a poor pair of breasts, views which he claims are also held by many of his clients.

According to a new report, women who have had breast implants are three times more likely to commit suicide than their natural counterparts. Deaths related to mental disorders, including drug or alcohol dependence, were also three times higher among women who had had breast implants.

Although the study did not address the reasons behind the suicides, many believe it is because these women already have psychological problems before they go under the knife. Conditions are unlikely to improve after surgery and this may account for the higher numbers.

Breast enlargement, sometimes know as breast augmentation, is a procedure which has been around for over 100 years. The first known operation was completed in 1890 and used paraffin injections. In 1920, paraffin was rejected in favour of fat transplants. The fat was removed from the stomach and buttocks and implanted into the breasts. In the 1980s, silicone became popular as an implant. Today, the most common form of breast implant is a silicone shell filled with saline water.

The scientific name for breast enlargement surgery is ‘augmentation mammaplasty’.
