Everything You Need To Know Before Getting A Temporary Boob Job

Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought that you might like what you see if you were a little bit bustier? Maybe you're on the fence about going under the knife, and you've been wishing that there was a way to take a new set of boobs out on the town for a night before handing over anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 to make a permanent change. If this sounds like you, then you're in luck (via WebMD). Temporary boob jobs have hit the market, and you can now get a chesty look, à la Pamela Anderson, for 24 hours.

Coming in at around $2,500 to $3,500, the procedure, called InstaBreast, won't exactly come cheap, but if you have an extra few thousand lying around, it's a great way to take the real deal for a test drive. During the procedure, a saline solution gets injected directly into the breasts for immediate results, and is peed out by the patient at a maximum of 24 hours after the initial appointment (via Women's Health). The process can leave some bruising at the injection site, but otherwise is only minimally invasive.

The procedure's creator, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Norman Rowe, cites that while he intended for InstaBreast to be a way for women to understand how they will look and feel if they take the more permanent route for breast augmentation, many women opt to take the needle in order to achieve a full-chested look for a special occasion such as a wedding. Seeing opportunity in the market, Rowe has started working on a new saline solution for what he calls "vacation breasts," which will last for two to three weeks. While his lips are sealed regarding what's actually in the solution, he does claim that what he is using has already been in use in the medical field (via Charlotte's Book).

From a safety standpoint, risks are low but existent, as with any newer procedure. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Tracy Pfeifer told Women's Health, "We don't really know if it's safe or not in terms of, if you're injecting things into the breast, could there be any long-term effects on a mammogram or something like that." 

While Dr. Rowe claims that InstaBreast is a great way to try out the look and feel of a permanent breast augmentation, not all plastic surgeons agree. Dr. Pfeifer notes, "The problem with that is when you're injecting fluid into the breast, it's very amorphous — whereas an implant has a shape" (via Women's Health). Traditionally, plastic surgeons will show patients the look of their desired implant using altered images on a computer as well as with implants inserted into a bra. If you're still on the fence after these steps, you might want to give InstaBreast a try.

Ultimately, InstaBreast is a low-risk, low-reward procedure that can give you an idea of what life is like with a larger bust. If you've been thinking about getting a breast augmentation and don't mind spending some money to find out, this might be the procedure for you. If you're still on the fence, maybe use that money to buy some really nice push-up bras.
