Obviously there are different methods you can choose from, in this article, I will discuss several methods that you can use to make your breasts bigger.
Some of these methods can be used by both men and women, I know it sounds weird but there are men who want bigger breasts, some may choose a surgical procedure but there are natural methods they can use as well.
When it comes to choosing a breast enhancement method there are several things that should be taken into account, the number one consideration is your health.
Choosing a breast enlargement method often depends on how much you want to increase the size of your breasts. The advantages of breast augmentation can give you breasts an enhanced shape and size.

Popular breast augmentation methods
Breast surgery
Surgery is one of the most common ways women consider to make their breasts bigger, while it is effective, it does not mean its safe. The advantage of breast implants is that women and men can increase the size of their breasts significantly.
Although breast surgery may seem practical, it can cause side effects, as with any surgery there are risks from anesthesia, and after surgery, there is a recovery time which can be painful.
After the surgery, there is always a concern of infection, scarring, or a ruptured implant.
If you are thinking about having breast surgery you should consider both the pros and cons of this procedure.
Pros
- You can choose implants that can increase the size of your breasts 5 times bigger or more.
- Long-lasting results that will last 10 -20 years
- Almost immediate results, breast surgery takes a few hours but the results are immediate once the implants are placed.
- You can drastically change the size and symmetry of your breasts.
Cons
- Expensive, breast implants can cost anywhere between $3600.00 – $5000.00
- Painful recovery time
- While mostly safe, there are risks that can occur due to an allergic reaction to the anesthesia
- Risk of scarring and infections
- Implants can shift, move, or leak which would require another surgery
Not a lot of insurance companies cover breast augmentation surgery because they are considered cosmetic (elective surgery), so for a lot of women, this procedure is expensive.
Vacuum therapy
If you are not willing to risk having breast surgery, vacuum therapy is the next best thing. One of the reasons this method is so popular is because it is effective.
Vacuum therapy if used with consistency can increase the size of your breasts anywhere between 1-3 cup sizes bigger, it is a method that can be used by both men and women.
How it works
Vacuum therapy is something that is offered in beauty clinics, the treatment involves using a special machine that has attached suction cups, the machine creates suction and increases more blood and oxygen into the tissue, this stimulates new breast tissue and makes the breasts bigger.
Vacuum therapy has also been used to reduce cellulite in the body.
Vacuum therapy that is done in a clinic can be expensive, each session can cost $100.00 or more. There are other products that can offer the same benefits at a fraction of the price. One popular product is the Noogleberry breast enlargement pump. the Nooglberry works in the same way that a commercial vacuum therapy machine does the difference is that it is inexpensive.
The Noogleberry works the same that expensive vacuum therapy machines do, a breast cup is placed over each breast you then create pressure (suction) using the hand pump.
Pros and cons of vacuum therapy include:
Pros
- A safe and practical way to make your breasts bigger
- Increase the size of your breasts between 1-3 cup sizes
- An affordable solution, a complete vacuum therapy kit cost under $80.00
- Can accommodate any breast size big and small
- Can be used by both men and women
- Make your breasts bigger in the comfort of your home
Cons
- Takes time, full results take 3-12 months
- Overpumping may cause temporary red rings around the breasts
Vacuum therapy is one of the best ways for men and women to increase the size of their breasts, unfortunately, it is one of the least known methods but one that offers good results at an affordable price.
Breast creams, pills, and tonics
Breast creams offer women a safe way to make their breasts bigger, while some don’t have much faith in this method would be surprised at how effective they can be.
My first ever experience with natural breast enhancement was using a breast cream, and I was amazed at how good my results were. I have seen a few articles that say that breast creams and pills don’t work, my opinion is that a lot of this information comes from sites promoting breast augmentation surgery.
While it is true that you won’t see a big increase in bust size from using a breast cream but you can expect a one to two cup size increase, a lot depends on how responsive your body is to the treatment.
There are several companies that sell different kinds of creams, pills, and tonics.
Each of these product work in a similar way, the ultimate goal of these creams and tonics are to boost hormone production, others boost breast volume by stimulating new fat cells to grow. Either way, these products can help make your breasts bigger.
Most companies sell special bundles that include a breast cream and supplement, the creams will contain herbal ingredients such as Pueraria Mirifica, sarsasapogenin, and Volufiline. When you apply a cream to the breasts it stimulates new fat cell tissue and strengthens the ligaments and milk ducts within the breasts.
Breast pills reinforce this action by boosting estrogen levels with plant estrogens.
Some companies sell breast tonics that work in a similar way, most women will find that combing a tonic along with either a cream or pills will give them the best results.
Pros and cons of using breast creams, tonics, and pills.
Pros
- A safe way for women to increase breast size
- Increase the size of your breasts between 1-2 cup sizes
- Reduce sagging breasts
- No side effects
- Inexpensive
Cons
- Takes a minimum of 3 months to see results
- Results will fade after 10-12 months
I mention that results may fade after you stop using the cream, this can be resolved by applying a maintenance dose 2-3 times per week to maintain breast volume and size.
Final thoughts
I hope my article has been helpful and helps you understand more about breast augmentation, it’s important that you know that surgery is not the only way to make your breasts bigger, there are other methods that can be effective, yes, they do have limitations but if you have some patients and are willing to put forth some effort using a natural method can be effective and fun.
