The other night's newest "Is this safe for you?" report was all about the plumping power of Botox. But before you get all "der, hickey, Jenna, why are wasting my time while I'm wasting time?" I've got to say it is a new kind of lift—a chest one. Yep. That's right. Top docs and Park Ave derms are now using the wrinkle filler to make the girls a little perk.
According to the news report Dr. Patricia Wexler said: Botox is about a yin and yang of muscle movement. If you weaken a muscle that's pulling something down, the muscle which is pulling up has nothing to oppose it. So if you weaken the pectoralis minor muscle, which is pulling the breast down, the rhomboid muscle in the back is going to have nothing to oppose it, so it's actually going to pull up your back and give you better posture and actually lift your breasts up.
The effect is relatively temporary (10-12 weeks), but it is non-invasive and the price is a fraction-o-la of a traditional breast lift. It sound like a decent option to me, but since I'm deathly afraid of needles, I guess I'll have to stick to the Pilates.

I read about this recently but I honestly can't see the point - I had macrolane injections to improve my bust (I went up one cup size and it's pretty natural-looking and feeling), its a really good treatment and lasts for about 12 months. I can't see any point in this short term botox thing... I would recommend Dr Maini at Nottingham Laser clinic for any girls in the UK.
