Alternatives to breast augmentation surgery

Top 5 Reasons to Avoid Breast Augmentation Surgery
Women that are somehow are unhappy with the size or shape of their bust would consider breasts augmentation surgery as the obvious solution. Being fairly available in most urban areas, breast augmentation surgery sounds very appealing and women often tend to overlook the risks and potential problems associated with this procedure. When properly informed about the risks of breast augmentation surgery, many women are unwilling to experience it and look for alternatives.
The main reasons to avoid breast augmentation surgery are:

Cost. The current costs of breast cosmetic surgery with the purpose of breast augmentation is very high. These procedures usually start in the thousands of dollars, and with follow-ups, potential complications and other associated costs, the financial burden leads some women to borrow money, take loans or use a credit card, resulting in further personal and family stresses.

Recovery time: breast augmentation surgery, even though is not a “major surgery”, requires some time off work for recovery. The recovery period usually is several days to start doing basic activities such as going to work, but several weeks for a complete recovery.

Complications: as with any other surgery, risk of complications is not absent in breast augmentation surgery.  Each one is different and problems during surgery may happen. Complications during a breast augmentation surgery may lead to further recovery time, lasting health problems and financial hardship.

Scarring: breast augmentation surgery requires your existing breast skin and tissue to be cut in order to insert implants or perform adjustments. Any inconvenient during the healing process of these incisions may result in permanent visible scars.

Medication: breast augmentation surgery entails the use of anesthetics, antibiotics and pain killers, resulting in additional costs and potential health issues.

A Non-Invasive Alternative to breast augmentation surgery

These and other reasons turn many women away from considering breast augmentation surgery to improve their appearance. A new product called Triactol is claimed to help women increase their breasts’ size and tone, making them larger and firmer. Triactol comes in the form of a serum that is applied to the breasts daily.  Women using Triactol have reported noticeable reduction in stretch marks and
wrinkles, resulting in breasts that look much younger. Many women notice an increase in cup size in just about a week.

May 13th, 2008 by admin

Onagra oil comes from onagra or primrose (Oenothera biennis and Oenothera lamarkiana), a plant from North America with medicinal properties. The oil is obtained from their seeds put under pressure in cold. This oil has a very good nutritional profile, it is very rich in poliinsaturated essential fatty acids: linoleic acid (70 %) and gamma-linolenic acid (10 %), both of the series of Omega 6 fatty acids, important precursors of diverse cellular mediators that are indispensable for the correct operation and stability of cellular membranes in our organism. They are also essential for the proper development of the nervous system, hormonal system and the regulation of the coagulation processes.

They are also precursors of the eicosanoids (prostaglandins, tromboxanes, leucotrienes and hidroxiacids), which regulate a myriad if important biological processes during all our life. In addition, onagra oil contains oleic acid in smaller proportion (a monoinsaturated fatty acid).
