Many women wonder how to get bigger breasts—whether it’s to restore lost volume after pregnancy, achieve better body balance, or simply feel more confident in their own skin. While countless products and “hacks” claim to deliver results, not all methods are created equal—and some don’t work at all.

At Breast and Body Clinic, we understand that breast size and shape can have a significant impact on how you feel about your body. That’s why we offer a range of safe, effective options to help you enhance your breasts—whether you’re after subtle volume or a fuller, more sculpted transformation.

In this guide, we explore both non-surgical and surgical methods for how to increase breast size, covering what works, what doesn’t, and how to choose the best option for your body and lifestyle.

Understanding Breast Size

Breast size is influenced by a combination of genetics, hormones, age, weight, and life events like pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some women are born with naturally smaller breasts. Others notice their breasts shrink, sag, or lose firmness over time.

If you’re looking to increase breast size, it’s important to identify your goals. Are you looking for:

  • A subtle enhancement?
  • A dramatic increase in size?
  • A lift and reshape for sagging or deflated breasts?

Once you’re clear on the outcome you want, you can explore your options more effectively.

Non-Surgical Options: Do They Actually Work?

Let’s start with what many women try first—non-surgical methods. These typically include:

1. Chest Exercises

Strengthening the pectoral muscles beneath the breasts with push-ups, dumbbell presses, and chest flies may improve posture and create the illusion of slightly lifted breasts. However, exercises won’t actually increase breast tissue, so the size itself won’t change.

2. Breast Enlargement Creams & Pills

These products often contain herbal extracts or plant-based estrogens (phytoestrogens) that claim to boost breast growth. Unfortunately, there’s no scientific evidence proving that they result in permanent or noticeable size increases. At best, they may cause mild swelling—at worst, they may cause hormone disruption or skin irritation.

3. Weight Gain

Because breasts are partially composed of fatty tissue, weight gain can increase their size. However, this also affects your overall body, and the distribution of fat is unpredictable. If you’re otherwise healthy and not aiming to gain weight, this is not a practical solution.

4. Padded or Push-Up Bras

A well-fitted bra can enhance cleavage and create the appearance of fuller breasts. While this is a quick, non-invasive fix, it’s temporary and does not increase breast size.

Surgical Options: The Most Effective Way to Get Bigger Breasts

If you’re serious about increasing your breast size, today’s surgical techniques offer natural-looking, proportionate results with a high satisfaction rate. At Breast and Body Clinic we offer three main procedures that can help:

1. Breast Augmentation (Implants)

Breast augmentation is the most common and time-tested method for increasing breast size. The procedure involves placing silicone or saline implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle to enhance volume and shape.

Ideal for:

  • Women who want a noticeable increase in breast size
  • Those with naturally small or asymmetrical breasts
  • Patients who’ve lost volume after breastfeeding or weight loss

Benefits:

  • Immediate, dramatic volume increase
  • Customisable shape, size, and projection
  • Long-lasting results with high safety profile

Considerations:

  • You may need future replacements or monitoring over time
  • Doesn’t correct sagging on its own (a lift may be combined)

2. Hybrid Breast Augmentation

Hybrid breast augmentation is a newer, more refined technique that combines implants with fat transfer from other parts of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs). It’s designed for women who want the size increase of implants but with a softer, more natural look and feel.

Ideal for:

  • Women seeking a natural-looking enhancement
  • Those wanting to smooth implant edges or fill in cleavage areas
  • Patients with some body fat available for transfer

Benefits:

  • Natural feel with enhanced shape
  • Slims down donor areas through liposuction
  • Can correct asymmetry and fine-tune implant results

Considerations:

  • Requires dual technique (implant + liposuction/fat grafting)
  • Some fat may be reabsorbed by the body

3.Breast Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

While not designed to enlarge the breasts, a breast lift (mastopexy) can reposition sagging or deflated breasts, making them look fuller and more youthful. It’s often combined with implants or fat transfer for women who want to both lift and enhance volume.

Ideal for:

  • Women with stretched or drooping breasts
  • Patients whose nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease
  • Those wanting a perkier, lifted silhouette

Benefits:

  • Restores natural shape and position
  • Can be combined with augmentation for dramatic transformation
  • Improves comfort, posture, and confidence

FAQs

What is the most effective way to get bigger breasts?

The most reliable and lasting way to increase breast size is through surgical procedures like breast augmentation with implants or hybrid breast augmentation. These methods allow you to customise volume, shape, and projection, delivering predictable and long-term results.

Can exercise make my breasts bigger?

Exercise can improve the appearance of the chest by strengthening the pectoral muscles beneath the breasts, which may provide a slight lift. However, it does not increase actual breast size, as breasts are made of fat and glandular tissue—not muscle.

What is hybrid breast augmentation and how is it different from traditional implants?

Hybrid breast augmentation combines silicone implants with fat transfer to create a more natural look and feel. It’s ideal for women who want added softness or enhanced contour, especially in areas like the cleavage or upper breast.

Can I combine breast enhancement with other procedures?

Yes! Many women opt to include breast augmentation or a lift as part of a Mummy Makeover—a customised combination of procedures such as a tummy tuck, liposuction, and breast surgery to restore the body after pregnancy or weight loss.
