Your breast size is something that you are born with and may change over time due to weight gain or loss, pregnancy, physical activity and hormones. If you find yourself staring in the mirror and desiring more in the chest department it is likely that you are considering the ways you could increase your bust size. Based on your preferences you can use natural or medical methods to achieve the breasts you desire.

Pectoral Exercises

Pectoral muscles are located in your chest beneath your breasts. Strength training exercises add muscle mass to your chest and help enlarge your bust size. These exercises also provide a natural lift and firmness to your breasts.

Push-ups are a beneficial chest exercise. You can start on your hands and feet, hands and knees or standing with your hands on a wall. Keep your back straight during the exercise with your hands beneath your shoulders. Bend your arms and lower your body until your arms make a 90-degree angle. Pause for one second and press your body back up. Repeat until you can no longer perform a full push-up.

Use dumbbells to perform a pectoral press. Lie on your back and hold a weight in each hand. Start with your arms straight over your chest, bend your arms, lower the weights until they almost touch your body and press back upward. Perform two to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions.

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical method for adding size to your bust. With the use of breast implants a surgeon can medically enhance your chest. Implants are inserted into your chest through an incision site that can be located under your breast, nipple or in your armpit. Implants can be made from silicone gel or a saline solution that is filled after being placed in your chest. While breast augmentation is a fast way to increase your bust size, there are risks associated with this procedure. According to MayoClinic.com, breast implants can rupture, deflate, leak, cause an infection or create pain in your chest. These risks can lead to removal of the implants or a repeat surgery.

Bras to Enhance Bust

If you aren't interested in spending weeks at a time developing pectoral muscle or undergoing costly cosmetic surgery to increase your bust size changing, your bra could be the best option for you. Buy a padded or underwire bra that adds size and lift to your breasts. According to Oprah Online, underwire bras help to push your breasts upward and forward while also creating the appearance of a smaller waist. Another option for temporary bust size increase is to use bra inserts. Bra inserts can be used at your discretion and allows you the freedom to try various sizes. When placed into your bra, inserts add size and lift to your breasts.
