When you use this site to ask questions, you must not forget that the people who will answer the questions are plastic surgeons.
So, if you are considering alternative methods to surgery, you may not get a truthful answer.
One example is a question about the effectiveness of Volufiline in creams to increase the size or firmness of breasts.
Every answer that was given claimed that no creams exist that do this, but that only surgery will accomplish increase in size or firmness of breasts. Some even claim that there has been no research that proves it.
Those answers were entirely misleading, because there are studies and cases where Volufiline has caused an increase in adipocytes which lead to increase in breast size, notably one published on the web by Sederma.
As ever, it is important to note that medical practitioners are not immune from recommending only the kind of work they do, and denying the efficacy of alternative methods that are aimed at achieving the same thing.
The moral is: Read the answers, do your research. Then make up your mind.
The only benefit of surgery is that it is quick.
