How to increase breast size without surgery

Macrolane, launched last month, is a breast and body-contouring cosmetic filler, which its makers claim can increase breasts by one cup size with just an injection.

After seven years of research, this breast augmentation treatment has been launched in the UK. Stabilised hyaluronic acid is injected into the breast, allowing the breast to be shaped to suit the figure of the client. “Skin is 40 per cent hyaluronic acid and Macrolane is specially stabilised hyaluronic acid. It is what provides the padding within the natural framework of collagen,” says Christopher Inglefield, a consultant plastic and reconstructive surgeon at London Bridge Hospital.



It makes an immediate difference and gives a smooth appearance with no lumps and bumps. Treatment takes between 30 and 90 minutes, so it is do-able in a lunch hour, although it will be uncomfortable for the next few days. The effect lasts between 12 and 18 months.

Cost An initial breast-shaping treatment using 200ml (100ml for each breast) will cost about £2,800, with top-up treatment in a year's time, costing about £1,400.
