Over the years many products have been promoted as natural breast enhancement pills or herbal breast enhancement pills. I am not aware of any human research with natural breast enhancement pills that have evaluated the role of herbs in enlarging the size of fat cells in breast tissue or increasing fluid accumulation. Getting fatter overall would enlarge breasts. It's possible that fluid accumulation would lead to breast enhancement, however I am not aware of any product that actually increases the size of fat cells in breast tissue without increasing the size of fat cells in other parts of the body. I am not aware of any natural or herbal products that lead to male breast enhancement. Having said this, it is possible that there are such herbs or supplements that have this breast enhancement effect that I may not be familiar with and I would not be surprised if there are such herbs. However, without a doubt, there are herbs that enhance female libido, I am certain of this. See female sexual dysfunction for a list.

Herbal Breast enhancement pill
It would be unwise at this time to waste money on an herbal breast enhancement pill until more research is available.

Breast Implants with Silicone
A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who calls himself "the breast expert" is facing trial in Los Angeles on charges of smuggling silicone implants into the United States and placing them in at least three women. Frederic Corbin, 62, was indicted in February, 2006 by a secret grand jury on charges that he got the silicone implants from Mexico and falsified patient records to conform to a clinical study. Corbin denies the charges, which his Beverly Hills office manager said were the work of a disgruntled employee. Silicone breast implants were banned in the United States for most women in 1992 because of controversy over the safety risks of leakage. They were replaced by saline-filled implants, but many of the 300,000 women who have cosmetic breast surgery in the United States every year prefer the look and feel of silicone implants, which are available in other countries.

Breast Implants and Suicide
While women with breast implants are not at greater risk of breast cancer, they do seem to have an elevated rate of suicide. The reason for the suicide risk is unclear, but several studies have now come to similar conclusions. Some researchers believe the link is explained by higher rates of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem among women who undergo breast augmentation.

Herbal Breast Enhancement Research Update

Breast enhancement herbal products are widely advertised. No clinical trials have been published. These products contain a variety of ingredients, including grains, hops, saw palmetto, dong quai, chaste-tree berry, wild yam, kava, fennel, black cohosh, and Fenugreek. Several of these herbs are hormonally active; for example, hops contain 8-prenylnaringenin, a phytoestrogen that is more potent than other dietary phytoestrogens. Many breast enhancement dietary supplements contain substrates for Fusarium, a fungus that produces zearalenone, a potent estrogen that has been associated with breast enlargement in humans and other species. The use of bust-enhancing products should be discouraged because of lack of evidence for efficacy and long-term safety concerns.

Breast Enhancement in China
In July 2006 China banned television and radio commercials for breast enhancements, weight loss and medical products. "Recently, some medical organisations have exaggerated the results of treatment provided, using experts and previous patients on television commercials to mislead others," the Beijing News cited the notice as saying. "The exaggeration of some breast enhancement and weight loss advertisements has violated consumers' rights and affected the social credibility of radio and television," it said. Earlier this month, consumer watchdogs said they were probing a drug touted on 17 television stations as being able to transfer unwanted weight from the hips to the breasts. State media reported that one customer spent 3,000 yuan ($375) on the pills, but only ended up breaking out in acne while her breast size remained the same.

Breast Enhancement questions
Q. I came across a web site that was promoting a product called Breast Gain Plus for breast enhancement. What is your opinion?
     A. I have not seen any research published in medical journals regarding Breast Gain Plus, and hence I am skeptical about the claims until the company making this product provides real evidence.
 
Q. Do phytoestrogens or saw palmetto lead to breast enhancement?
     A. I doubt it. I have not seen any research that support this claim.

Q. Does fenugreek work for breast enlargement?
     A. I have not seen any studies that indicate fenugreek being helpful for breast enhancement.

Q. Breast enhancement capsules or herbs. Do they work? Are they safe? Do you sell any?
   A. We don't have evidence that breast enhancement pills work. As to safety, it is impossible to say since there are hundreds of different brands being promoted and each has a different composition. We do not sell breast enhancement pills.

Q. There are obviously some benefits associated with L-Tyrosine supplementation, but while researching this supplement, I noticed that it tends to be present in many breast enhancement supplements for women. I dont see how L-Tyrosine could enhance breast tissue development, but being a man, I dont want to mess around with anything that could potentially result in me developing breast tissue ( gynecomastia ). So my question is, is there a risk for a man to get gynecomastia from supplementing L-Tyrosine?
   A. L Tyrosine has cardiac risks of heart palpitations or cardiac rhythm disturbances, but we are not aware of any issues with breast enhancement.

Q. I am in my late 20s and suffer from small breasts. Sometimes I use contraceptive pills such as Cilest or Microgynon but they don’t increase my breasts size. Recently I saw a breast enhancement website that their Breast Active pills work. Breasts Actives Company says that they are work and are safe. They say our formula is herbal and natural. I would like to know your view about buying Breast Actives. Are they harmful? If I use the pills for 4 or 6 months and I stop them, are the results permanent?
   A. We are not familiar with Breast Actives. We have not seen any research with herbs that involve enlargement or enhancement of breasts.

Q. I appreciate your advice and recommendation regarding supplements for breast lifting, firming or augmentation for a woman 52 years old.
   A. Unfortunately I am now aware of any supplements that are helpful for breast lifting or augmentation.
