There is some evidence that herbal creams and pills may enhance the appearance of the breast and cause it to be firmer and shapelier. However, the evidence on increased breast size is harder to document. The benefits of natural breast enhancement are probably not as great as those seen in surgery but they are less expensive, at least in the short term and they do not have to same risks as surgery. Breast enhancement lotions, creams and dietary supplements are available at most natural food stores.

Breast enhancement surgery is invasive and carries the usual risks of adverse reaction to anesthetic and possible infection. Additionally, in rare cases women have adverse reactions to the implants themselves which then have to be removed. Implants can leak causing other complications. Surgery leaves scars, and though they are minimal, they are permanent.

In rare cases, leaking implants or adverse reactions to the implants have left women permanently disfigured. There are risks to any breast enhancement treatment but surgery presents standard surgical risks with the additional rare side effects of implants.

Natural breast enhancement treatments also have some risks. Herbal remedies are medicines and are not intrinsically safe simply because they all natural. The herbs used in breast enhancement treatments mimic the effects of the hormone estrogen. Although estrogen is found in women's bodies naturally, it is known to cause certain breast and uterine cancers. Introducing extra estrogen into the body can increase the risk of cancer. Most natural breast enhancement products use herbs that have estrogen like properties. This applies to breast enhancement lotions as well as dietary supplements.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use natural breast enhancement products without consulting their physician. Some of theses herbs are associated with miscarriage and birth defects. If you are taking medication for any chronic condition, do not use natural breast enhancers without consulting a doctor. Certain herbs can interact with medications causing serious health problems. This warning applies to both, breast enhancement lotion as well as dietary supplements.

A breast enhancement lotion or cream may be the best product for natural breast enhancement. Taking oral supplements can be dangerous and the purity and safety of these supplements is often untested. Since the supplements are not regulated by government agencies in most countries, it is impossible to know exactly what you are getting. The supplements are regulated in Germany and you may be able to obtain information about their rating in Germany on the Internet.

While breast enhancement lotion is not as effective as surgery for increasing the size of the breast, there is no question that it can have a positive effect on the firmness and skin quality of the breast. Many women do not need to increase the size of their breasts and simply want to firm up sagging breasts and eliminate stretch marks. Surgery to improve the appearance of sagging breasts uses incisions which leave visible scars and which occasionally results in a loss of sensation in the nipple. Obtaining reasonable results from a breast enhancement lotion may be a better solution for many women.

While natural breast enhancement products do not produce the same results as surgery, and they do have risks, the risks are far lower for these products than they are for surgery. Breast enhancement lotions can be found at health food outlets and online.
