Breast augmentation without implants is available in Great Britain. The procedure is temporary, has natural looking results and is non-surgical.
A new filler in the United Kingdom, Macrolane, can reportedly add volume to a woman’s breasts.
This non-surgical procedure involves injecting a gel that contains hyaluronic acid into the breast to increase its size. The results are temporary and the gel degrades within a year. The size difference isn’t as dramatic as what a breast implant can offer. But the Macrolane method may be able to make the breast enlargement look more natural. Also, as a non-surgical operation, there are no scars and the procedure, including recovery time, is shorter than the implant process.
Surgeons can also use the Macrolane filler to add volume to other parts of the body, such as the buttocks.
Macrolane injections were approved in the UK 18 months ago and reportedly, 3000 women have had them. The product isn’t yet available in the United States.
