Breast augmentation for those who do not want the use of silicone implants can be done, mainly, with the application of hyaluronic acid by the plastic surgeon, but its effect lasts up to 2 years, as the body absorbs the product and for this reason needs to be repeated after this time.
Other alternatives may be the laser procedure, performed by the dermatologist, use of cosmetic creams and physical exercises, because, although they do not cause a significant increase, they help to improve the appearance and lift the breasts.
Breast filling with hyaluronic acid
This aesthetic procedure is done with the application, by the plastic surgeon, of about 100 to 250 ml of hyaluronic acid in the breasts, which causes it to increase in volume and have a firmer appearance. The procedure is done with local anesthesia and, therefore, there is no need to be hospitalized, being able to return to the house on the same day.
Despite good aesthetic effects, the acid is reabsorbed in up to 2 years, and its effects are temporary, and, in addition, it can cause inflammation and scarring within the breasts, and may even mean an increased risk for other breast diseases, such as cancer.

Other ways to increase breasts
There are ways to help increase the breasts, not with the same volume of surgery, but with good effects to improve the appearance of the region, such as:
- Creams: there are creams based on natural phytosterol, such as Boost Sérum, Commipheroline, Voluform or Boob Job, for example, which promise to increase up to 2 cm of the breasts as continuous use, in addition to giving a firmer appearance, but the results are also temporary; Bras: bras with padding can be used to enlarge the breasts, and the younger ones look more and more natural. There are even bras with cups that help to lift the breast, giving a firmer appearance; Physical activity: there are weight training exercises that can make the breasts firmer and more toned, although they do not provide a significant increase, such as push-ups, bench presses and flying sets, for example. The ideal is to talk to the physical educator to schedule exercises according to the goals of each person. See some examples of exercises that help to increase the breast. Laser: it is a pulsed light procedure, which acts on the breast, increasing circulation and reaffirming the skin, which promises a small increase and greater firmness of the breasts, however, the procedure does not cause definitive effects, needing to repeat frequently; Mastopexy: is a type of surgery that does not use silicone and helps to improve the appearance of the breasts.
