There is a new way to augment breasts that seems quite barbaric. In Europe, women now how the option of skipping implants for the more subtle, natural look of injecting a compound called Macrolane directly into their breasts. It’s called a “boob jab” and I agree with Jezebel, it scares the crap out of me as well. It bothered me so much, that I knew I had to research more. I’m not sure if anyone remembers, but back in the day, Japanese women used to inject themselves with silicone gel… directly. Well low and behold, that didn’t work out very well, which made me wonder what exactly this new injectable compound consists of.
Advocates of Macrolane boast that it is a gel compound made up of nonanimal hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that is already in our bodies. They say it’s similar to Restylane and Juvederm, so of course it’s completely safe (however the website has a disclaimer at the top, “Not intended for US and Canada). Why not us, I thought? Never fear, Macrolane was first used in Japan 3 1/2 years ago (watch out kids, remember my intro) and was injected into over 30,000 women. The procedure takes approximately 45 minutes, uses local anesthesia and injects the Macrolane substance through a knitting-needle sized canula. It’s brutal and fully Europe approved, see below. As a side note, YouTube has banned the original video (I told you it was brutal) I had planned on uploading; this is the new viewer approved version.
