How to Get Great Cleavage Sans Surgery?



I'd like to give my "girls" a nonsurgical lift. Any tips?

Unfortunately, there are no miracles. There are Miracle Bras, and the right fit on one of those babies can make you feel like you've not just gotten a little lift but bought an entirely fresh set of knockers. A good Victoria's Secret store comes with a lady with a measuring tape who can tell you whether it's your breasts that are the problem—or your bra. Don't write off your boobs—blame the corporations!

If you've already trolled the lingerie aisles, a colleague recommends something a bit different: a lifting piece of shapewear called ChicShaper. It targets just the area of which you speak.

The only other nonsurgical fix worth mentioning comes in a cream. I speak, of course, of décolleté cream. Many of them don't work, and many do—or, at least, they can stave off signs of aging, such as discoloration and surface wrinkles. The overall sagging? Don't count on it. But it's something. For starters, consider the When Hope Is Not Enough line from Philosophy. The price point is decent without going all the way to La Prairie, and many women swear by it.
