The Botox (Botax) breast lift or breast uplift procedure has quite a few supporters, and is meant for those with slightly smaller breasts that may seem a bit droopy.  It makes use of the fact that the level at which the breasts hang freely is dictated by the balance of muscle actions on the chest wall, one set pulling the breasts down by internally rotating and depressing the shoulders, the other set pulling the breasts up by causing the shoulders to pull backwards, outward and upward. The set of muscles that pull the breasts down includes the muscles on the chest wall called the pectoralis minor.  It is this muscle on both sides of the chest wall which need Botox injections to weaken it to cause the mild breast uplift.

How much can this breast lift cost?  Based on the amounts of botox used in each muscle (10 – 15 units per injection spot, 3 spots per side), it is estimated that a total of about 90 units of botox (botax) will be used.  This should make the breast lift cost a conservative $1300 to $1800 per procedure, depending on where you have your breast uplift injections.  This effect of botox breast uplift will last up to 6 months and has the pleasant effect of causing sustained nipple erection for about a month after erection. 

It is said that the best usage for this procedure would be if you have a new dress and you wanted to show it off to perfection without the hindrance of a bra, but did not want to go through the hassle of an operation to enlarge or lift the breasts.  Would the Botox breast lift cost cause you to have second thoughts then? It might be pretty well worth it, depending on whom you wanted to impress.

The height of the breasts is affected by the position of the shoulders.  The muscles of the chest known as pectoralis minor and pectoralis major tend to rotate the shoulder inward and downward.  The opposing muscles of the back such as the rhomboids tend to pull the shoulder backward.  The theory is that if the muscles such as the pectoralis minor were weakened, this would result in unopposed movement of the shoulder upward and backward, thus lifting the breasts to a more prominent and esthetically pleasant position. This is the basis for the botax breast uplift procedure.

The fact that this works is proven in tests where the pectoralis minor on each side is given a botox injection dose of about 30units of botax (more commonly known as botox).  Botax weakens the pectoralis minor muscles and the breast uplift occurs as a result.  A somewhat pleasant side effect as yet unexplained is the stimulation of the nipples which remain erect for a month.

The botax effect lasts about 3 – 4 months.  It is noted that the breast up lift effect is more obvious in people with slightly smaller breasts, about cup size A or B.  Upon wearing out of the effect in about 4 months, the breasts start to descend, and it is time for a repeat dose of botax.
