Breast augmentation surgery, especially through the implantation of silicone prostheses, is currently one of the more common methods for breast enhancement. Whether breast augmentation poses health risks in the future mainly depends on the method used and the individual's physical condition.
Risks associated with surgical breast augmentation mainly include complications such as infection, bleeding, and scar tissue formation. Additionally, breast surgery may affect the normal structure of the mammary glands, increasing the risk of breast-related diseases, including mastitis and mammary hyperplasia. For women planning to breastfeed in the future, breast augmentation surgery may damage the milk ducts, thereby affecting lactation capacity.
Natural breast enhancement methods such as massage and dietary supplementation are relatively safer, although their effects may not be as noticeable as those achieved through surgery. Breast massage can promote blood circulation, increase blood supply to the breast tissue, and help maintain the elasticity and health of breast skin. Dietary methods, such as consuming foods rich in collagen and vitamin E, can also help improve breast appearance. These methods require long-term adherence and their effectiveness may vary from person to person.
