Myths: Many Over-The-Counter drugs have emerged in the past few years claiming to naturally enlarge breast size without surgical implants. These drugs often marketed as "herbal breast enhancement pills" or "natural breast enlargement pills" may seem like an easy, inexpensive way to achieve a larger bust. However, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, these drugs have not only proven to be ineffective, they also may be dangerous when mixed with other drugs. Just like all herbal supplements, these drugs can be put on the market without inspection by the FDA. In fact, some studies have found these herbal breast enhancement pills to be harmful when mixed with other common medications.
