What Is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring gel like substance which is found in the body. It is commonly used in skin care and moisturising creams.

Hyaluronic acid injections are used in other areas of cosmetic surgery, in particular to temporarily smooth wrinkles by adding volume under the skin, with effects typically lasting for six months.

How Much Of An Increase In Breast Size Can I Expect?

It is typically used to enlarge breast sizes by up to one cup size. For larger increases, breast enlargement surgery options would need to be considered. Hyaluronic acid gel injections produce a natural look to the enhanced breasts. However, the effects only last from around 9 to 12 months.

How Is Hyaluronic Acid Administered?

A gel containing hyaluronic acid is injected into the breast tissue in order to increase the volume of the breast. It is administered without the need for invasive surgery and can be performed with a local anaesthetic. This has significant advantages over breast implant surgery in that the surgical risks either do not apply or are significantly reduced. Furthermore, the recovery time is much quicker and depending upon your job, you could be back in work the next day. Although you may not tell that to your boss!

How Much Does It Cost?

The main downside is that the cost of the procedure is quite expensive. It is not much less than breast augmentation surgery prices.
