Most often than not, these implants are filled with silicone or saline. The surgical process can last 2-4 hours. You need about ten days up to two weeks of recovery time. Longer recovery is necessary if there are complications that arose from the surgery.
Hormonal Means
Men can also enhance their breasts through hormonal therapies. The female hormone estrogen is responsible for making women’s breasts bigger and this hormone can be availed in injection form or pill form. Taking estrogen pills, however, can cause possible unwanted effects live liver stress and damages. You may feel chest pain, numbness and jaundice (the yellowing of the skin, eyes and mucus membranes). As for estrogen injections, there are two legally available products that are administered by a doctor: Estradiol Cypionate and Estradiol Valerate. Injections are administered every two weeks. One vial of estrogen can be used for six months. The estrogen therapy can cost from $25 up to $80. Laboratoty monitoring is also required with administration of injections. Monitoring is needed to ensure that male and female hormones are in proper levels and to ensure proper functioning of estrogen in your male body.
Estrogen patches are also available. This patch, upon the prescription of your doctor, will be used to spread and distribute estrogen throughout the body. When you put this patch onto your skin, it will remain there for up to seven days. Thus, you have to perform several measures to ensure that the patch will work properly; such as avoiding moisture and heat. Only one patch should be used at a time; otherwise, you will be exposing yourself to overdosing risks.
