The Mix provides an expert answer to a member of our community below, explaining the dangers of breast growth pills and offering some tips for how to feel better about your boobs.

Are breast enlargement pills dangerous?

“I love my breasts but I would like them to be a cup size bigger. I’m 19 and I’ve given them the chance to grow some more by themselves but it hasn’t happened. I’ve been reading about pills that claim to increase breast size, but there are loads of different brands and opinions about whether or not they work. Some studies I’ve read even claim they might be dangerous. I’d like some advice about how effective breast growth pills are, and if there are any health risks when taking them.”

Women develop at different ages, and as you are still in your teens, your breasts could still be developing. There are different options available if you feel unhappy with the size of your breasts, but remember it’s common for people to be unhappy about some aspect of their body.

The dangers of breast enlargement pills

The breast enlargement pills you’re talking about probably claim to use either herbal medicine or hormones to make your boobs bigger. These drugs may not have been tested and if you’re buying them over the internet without a prescription then you don’t know what you’re getting. The manufacturers often make exaggerated claims, charging high prices for products which may not work. Though there are many forums discussing breast enhancement, we’d suggest you avoid taking any advice about health from an internet forum and go to your doctor instead.

Certain hormones in birth control pills may stimulate breast growth in some people, but this doesn’t affect everybody and can have unwanted side effects. Your doctor (GP) could discuss this in further detail with you if you wanted to try this route. They will also be able to discuss having cosmetic surgery to increase your breast size.
