Breast enhancement is surgery to increase breast size. Some people have also taken herbs and supplements to promote breast growth.

Natural Therapies

Herbs and Supplements to Be Used With Caution

Talk to your doctor about any supplements or therapy you would like to use. Some can interfere with treatment or make conditions worse.
