Increase breast size with breast massage?

Whenever I have any type of issue with my body is refer to natural, at home remedies or alternative medicine. I have done A LOT of research on how to increase breast size without the surgery. Of course there are the pills, lotions, and things of that sort. The ones that have stood out to me the most is breast enhancement through fat injections, which I have seen very nice results, breast massage, and a way more alternative one, breast enhancement through meditation or self hypnosis. For those of you that know about self hypnosis, you know how it works and that it makes a lot of sense. It has a lot to do with the law of attraction, what you believe you receive. I know, many people truly believe this is bogus! But if you are someone who practices meditation, self hypnosis, or the law of attraction, then you know how real it really is. But the one that definitely stood out to me the most is breast enhancement with breast massage. It makes sense, you massage the area (it has to be a certain way) which increase the blood circulation to your breasts. Plus it has a great benefit, your menstrual flow will be reduced since some of the blood that your body pushes out will instead be drawn to your breasts. I will provide a link for anybody who is interested in seeing for themselves. When I hear about something new that I am interested in, I always make sure to do a good amount of research before getting involved with anything. I have seen nothing but positive reviews and testimonials on this. My question is: has anybody on here tried this, or knows someone who has, and it has worked for them? I barely started doing this. I would love to see what your thoughts on this are..

Aside from pregnancy, hormone intake, weight gain or surgery, nothing is going to substantially increase breast size.

None of the "massage" or "hypnosis" studies have ever been able to be recreated by anyone other than the person who first published them, and that, scientifically, is a good reason to stay away from these things.

Anyone can publish one study and "prove" prove whatever they want. Only if the study can be reproduced again, by someone else using the same method is the method considered "proven". And none of these breast growth ideas have that kind of evidence behind them.

Blood flow does not increase either fat deposits or ductal structure. I'm a lactation consultant, I KNOW breasts and their structure. And they are made from little more than fat deposits and milk ducts and some lymph tissue, and none of these can "grow" from massage. If that were the case, people who have a lot of, say, back massages would have HUGE... backs (as their are fat deposits in the back. Backs only grow when the skeletal muscles are exercised.) And that doesn't happen with breasts, they have no skeletal muscle to exercise.

Milk ducts can only be increased by usage which would require lactating. There is no large skeletal muscle in the breast which can be grown through usage. Lymph tissue remains the same size, unless cancer or infection effects it, and fat tissue usually only grows when the entire body gains weight.

Sorry, but there is no science behind any of these breast growth ideas. They aren't based on fact or on the actual structures of the human female breast. less

Thank you so much for saying this, and in such a well-informed, well-structured manner. I love it when someone with a medical background steps in on topics like this.

Back to the OP, on the "what you believe you receive" note, that doesn't really work like this. It's true that mental state can effect health to a degree, but that has more to do with outlook and the chemicals being released by the brain. I could "believe" all I wanted that I could gain naturally blue eyes or grow a few more inches, but it's simply not going to happen. That's genetics, which also play a role in determining the size of your breasts. less

The first page is NOT a study, it's conjecture. It's just an article filled with opinion. Here is a quote from the article that proves the writer has no idea what he or she is talking about; Since phytoestrogens travel through the bloodstream, the more blood you have flowing to your breasts... END QUOTE.

Uh, phytoestrogens are PLANT hormones that may mimic very weak NON steroidal estrogens. People's bodies don't make "phytoestrogens&q uot; (Because we're not plants. We make real estrogen, as we are mammals.) And the jury is still out on whether any plant phytoestrogens effect humans, but the most promising and well done studies say plant hormones have NO effect on human functioning and are not taken up or used by the human body as real human hormones.

Also, you'd have to not just massage, but use a breast pump at least 8 to 12 times a day, for weeks on end, and also take a prolactin precurser (like the non-hormonal drugs like Domperidone or Reglan) in order to raise your prolactin levels enough to cause breast growth. But, these only work if you are already lactating. This usually ONLY happens when the woman is already lactating. You can't look at how a lactating breast behaves and extrapolate it to fit into a non-lactating breast, they are two completely different body states.

As for the other article, with a reference to Dr. Willard's hypnosis study, his study has never been been performed and gotten the same results done by anybody else. When only ONE person can get result from a method, that method is almost always suspect.

My nursing training, my lactation education and experience and everything I've learned by years of studying science (and studying how the human breast works) is making my alarm bell rings reading this stuff. This website simply isn't backed by scientific date or the scientific method.

The only drug we know for sure will cause small increases in breast tissue is real estrogen and real progesterone like those found in high dose birth control pills and prescription medications for menopausal symptoms. less
