When the Botox cosmetic injection was first discovered not too long ago, it was envisaged that it would only have very limited uses. Botox treatments were first limited to the injection of frown lines, crows feet and forehead lines, and did very well in these fields. Lately, however, it has been discovered that these cosmetic injections have more and more uses.
The latest discovery so far has been the use of Botox injections to get a breast lift. This new treatment option recognizes the fact that with time, the breasts of a woman tend to sag, partly because of age, and also partly because the shoulders tend to rotate inward and forward. The breasts, which rest upon the muscles of the chest wall, specifically the major and minor pectoral muscles, are lowered when these muscles contract, and are raised when the shoulders are thrown backward.
It is theorized that if the minor pectoral muscles were weakened, the opposing muscles which tend to lift the shoulders backward and thus the breasts upward would act more firmly in response, thus raising the height of the breasts, which is an esthetically pleasing effect.
Following this theory, some esthetic practitioners have started injecting their patients with some 60 to 90 units of Botox into the minor pectoral muscle where it is inserted into the ribs of the chest wall in front.
A substantial proportion of these patients have reportedly noted success in this procedure, as can be proven in before and after photographs, which show the intended result, that is, the shoulders tend to be more thrust backward (and the chest forward), and the breasts are at a higher level (about 1cm - 2cm) than they were before injection.
An interesting side effect of these injections is this: the nipples tend to be more erect for a few weeks after this injection. The reason for this is not well established, but according to a lot of patients, it is also a rather pleasant side effect.
The breast-lifting effect of Botox cosmetic injection has been shown to last for about 4 months. It is suggested that this procedure is most suitable for physically fit women aged between 30 - 55 years, and with breast cup sizes A or B. Persons with larger droopy breasts may not have such good results.
If you fall into the ideal category, it may be a good idea to consult your Botox practitioner if breast enlargement procedures are not yet your goal, and all you need is just a mild lift!
