Anybody seeking a natural breast lift without having to go through surgery will encounter breast lift or firming cream during their research.
There are many different brands selling breast lift cream over the internet and it can be tempting to make the choice for a cream over a surgical breast lift to avoid having to go through surgery and the subsequent recovery.
However, is it worth spending your money on this cream? Does it really work or are these brands selling you a pipe dream?
We have done our research and are here to give you all the answers that you need to make a decision.
How does breast firming cream work?
Breast skin tightening cream supposedly works by making the skin on the breasts firmer, therefore preventing them from sagging or drooping as far as they previously were.
The way that the creams tighten the skin is by the use of collagen which improves the elasticity of the skin. And while it is true that collagen is responsible for keeping our skin firm and elastic, it is the application of collagen topically that is in question with breast lift cream.
Collagen is a popular cosmetic ingredient in anti-wrinkle creams, so it makes sense that it would be included in a cream that is designed to tighten the skin on the breasts, too. However, regardless of whether collagen is an effective anti-wrinkle ingredient, it is not skin wrinkles that causes breasts to sag.
Breasts experience ptosis (sagging) due to a combination of time and weight. As the years go by, the skin supporting the breasts becomes weaker, which is exacerbated by breasts that become heavier by exerting more force on the skin and cartilage supporting them via gravity. Another cause of breast ptosis is smoking, as this has been proven to breaking down the protein elastin in the skin.
Therefore, there is very little that an application of collagen can do to the position of the breasts on the ptosis scale and in relation to the inframammary crease.
Most breast lift creams also promote the presence of oestrogens within their ingredients. And in a similar vein to the questions around collagen, it is not proven that applying these oestrogens to the outside of the body actually has an effect on its appearance.
Who might want to use breast lift cream?
Anybody who has experienced sudden changes in weight may experience a change in how their breasts sit on their body and want to reverse this or prevent it from changing any further.
Basically, anybody who wants breast lift results but without having to undergo surgery will be naturally interested in breast firming cream.
Also, people who have wrinkles or dry skin around the breast area may want to use breast lift cream to treat multiple issues with one single cream.
And coincidentally, the use of treating minor décolletage wrinkles or unnourished skin is all that we would recommend using these types of creams for.
Do firming creams work?
So, if you are seeking an answer to does firming cream work, then our answer is no. Even the best breast firming and lifting creams do not work to give you results that are synonymous with a breast lift without having surgery.
Unfortunately, if you are unhappy with the position or size of your breasts and want to do something about it then you will need to opt for a breast lift or implants. While it may be more expensive and you will have to go through surgery, it is the only way to make substantial changes to your breasts.
Still, some people may get some beneficial results from breast firming cream if they are currently not using a moisturiser. The application of moisturising agents, in combination with the vitamins and minerals found in breast lift creams, can improve the external appearance of the skin on and around the breasts. It will not, however, change their position and make them sit higher on your chest.
