Dr. Yan Sumei reply Traditional Chinese Medicine

Breast enhancement can be achieved by increasing protein intake and consuming medicinal dishes, primarily including green papaya and pork rib soup, fermented rice wine eggs, pig's trotter and peanut soup, and papaya milk.
After a period of consumption, improvements can be observed.
Additionally, massaging the acupoints around the breasts can promote blood circulation, leading to fuller breasts.
The Traditional Chinese Medicine department at Nantou Hospital offers breast enhancement acupuncture.

More Info

Acupuncture has been traditionally used in various cultures for a multitude of health benefits, including pain relief, stress reduction, and even cosmetic enhancements. When it comes to breast enhancement, the effectiveness of acupuncture is a topic of debate. While some anecdotal evidence suggests that acupuncture may help improve breast size and firmness, scientific studies supporting these claims are limited.

At the age of 27, most women have completed their natural breast development, which typically occurs during puberty and early adulthood. After this period, breast tissue is largely influenced by factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and body composition. While acupuncture may not directly increase breast size in the same way that surgical options do, it may help improve circulation and promote hormonal balance, which could potentially have a positive effect on breast tissue.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture is believed to stimulate the flow of "Qi" (energy) and blood throughout the body. This stimulation can enhance overall health and may lead to improvements in skin elasticity and tissue health. Some practitioners suggest that acupuncture can help with breast enhancement by targeting specific acupoints that are thought to influence breast tissue and hormonal balance. However, these claims are largely based on traditional beliefs rather than robust clinical evidence.

For women who are considering acupuncture for breast enhancement after the age of 27, it is essential to have realistic expectations. While some may experience slight improvements in breast firmness or fullness, significant changes in size are unlikely. Additionally, factors such as diet, exercise, and overall health play a crucial role in breast appearance and should not be overlooked.
Regarding the availability of acupuncture for breast enhancement at Nantou Hospital, it is advisable to contact the hospital directly or consult with their Traditional Chinese Medicine department. They can provide specific information about the services offered, including whether acupuncture for breast enhancement is available and the qualifications of the practitioners.

In summary, while acupuncture may offer some benefits related to breast health and appearance, its effectiveness for significant breast enhancement after the age of 27 is uncertain. Women interested in this approach should consult with qualified practitioners and consider combining acupuncture with other lifestyle changes for optimal results. It is also essential to discuss any concerns or questions with a healthcare provider to ensure a safe and informed decision.
