Can Hypnosis & Guided Visualization really make Breasts Bigger?

by Dr Andrew Dobson, Hypnotherapist & Life Coach

As a Psychologist and Hypnotherapist very grounded in the real and proven application of Hypnotherapy as shown with legitimate scientific studies (as opposed following the common myth your mind can do anything), I am willing to admit that despite there (as of yet) being a satisfactory explanation; it would seem that Hypnosis does indeed have evidence for being able to increase the size of Breasts.

The reality is, that unlike so many other claims of Hypnotherapists and companies selling Self Development products aimed at accomplishing things that should not be able to happen; There is strong scientific evidence that you can make your boobs bigger with Hypnotherapy. In fact being a little skeptical of this, I was unable in a quick online search to find much evidence for Hypnosis not actually producing a result in the majority of people involved in the studies. So the answer to the question, Can Hypnosis be used to increase the size of Breast is a YES!

Almost without exception the standard format of a hypnotherapy session for enlargement of breasts follows the same basic outline.

1) The hypnotic Induction (a scripted guided imagery to take you into a mentally and physically relaxed state (Trance)
2) The use of an age regression taking you back to puberty where hormones that increase breast size where created
3) Additional suggestions and imagery of your Breast actually getting pumped up and larger
4) The Wake up Procedure (bringing you back to the real world)

Excerpt of the Results section of the Willard study:

At the end of 12 weeks, 28% had reached the goal they had set at the beginning of the program and desired no further enlargement.

There were 85% who could tell a significant enlargement in their breasts had been accomplished, and 46% found it necessary to buy a larger brassiere. Forty-two percent had a loss in weight of greater than 4 pounds and still had enlargement of their breasts.
The average increase in circumference was 1.37 inches; the average increase in the vertical measurement was 0.67 inches and the average increase in horizontal measurement was 1.01 inches.... [note: the study was continued past 12 weeks to let those who hadn't reach their goals to do so.]

In this study, 63% of the subjects had had children and complained of pendulous breasts. These subjects expressed a desire to reclaim the fullness and contour of the breasts which they had before the pregnancies. All of these subjects reported they were very pleased with the increase in fullness and firmness of their breasts at the end of the study....

The only two subjects who subjectively felt there had been no significant increase, did have a measurable increase in size. Both subjects had difficulty obtaining the visualizations. All of the subjects reported an increase in firmness of their breasts. All of the subjects who began the study with one breast smaller than the other found them to be equal in size at the end of the twelve weeks.

Peter H.C. Mutke, M.D. (UCLA) - Submitted research paper on Mental Techniques for Breast Development to the Department of Neuropsychiatry, University of California, Los Angeles, February 28, 1971.

Williams, J.E. conducted research on Stimulation of Breast Growth by Hypnosis. "Journal of Sex Research," 1974, 10:316-326. His thirteen volunteers averaged 2.11 inch increase in the circumference of their breasts (2 cup sizes).

Staib, A.R., and Logan, D.R., Hypnotic Stimulation of Breast Growth. "The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis," 1977, 4:201-208. They repeated
Dr. Williams' results with similar results. They also found women's waist size decreased by 1.4 inches. Their follow up study showed that 81 % of the breast enlargement was retained several months after the women stopped their visual imagery.

Willard, R. D., Breast enlargement through visual imagery and hypnosis. "The American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis," 1977, 4:195-200. Dr Willard used a different technique than Dr. Williams (who used age regression and age progression) and achieved an average 1.44 inch increase in breast size for his 22 volunteers. Every woman had an increase in their breast circumference.

Beran, Roy (a neurologist at Adelaide Children's Hospital, England) presented the results of his study to the February 1979 National Convention of Hypnotherapists in Adelaide. Dr. Beran showed that the breast volume (he measured the breast's cubic displacement of water) more than doubled during the three month hypnosis program.
