It’s the the latest craze in the USA: Swelling the breasts for 24 hours with saline to make them look bigger for a day. A practice that divides experts.

A romantic dinner? An evening cocktail? A wedding? Ladies, no need to stuff your bra! To gain a size, some women in the United States are choosing to inject a saline solution that swells their breasts. The effect lasts one day and all for a mere USD3500. This technique was originally designed to give women a glimpse of what their breasts should look like after cosmetic surgery. A good way to ensure that the result will live up to their expectations. But soon this technical solution was offered as extra, for festive occasions.

PLASTIC SURGERY specialists DIVIDED

If some want to spend their money on an unforgettable chest display one evening, why not. Unlike cosmetic surgery, there are no risks and side effects are almost non-existent (basically, you are given saline into your body). The problem is the possible repetition of the act, as Dr. Michael C. Edwards, president of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery notes, “you’re altering the architecture of the breast… and you would be taking away some intrinsic support in the breast”. Same opinion is echoed by Dr. Jennifer Caplan, a plastic surgeon in New York: “If done by a board-certified plastic surgeon in a fashion that’s safe, I think it’s O.K. But is it safe to do three days in a row? Will it cause electrolyte imbalance? I’m a big fan of moderation.”.

However, Dr. Steven Teitelbaum, a plastic surgeon in Santa Monica and professor at the UCLA School of Medicine concluded, “Between good bras and chicken cutlets, you can always look good in clothes”, deeming the procedure unnecessary.

It’s official, no one has yet found a good solution to the problem it seems!
