6 Push-Up Bra Before and After Photos That Prove the Right Undergarments Make ALL the Difference

It’s amazing how a push-up bra can create cleavage and add youthful volume, but sometimes it does its job a little too well—catapulting bosom out the top or creating awkward creases. We talked to the experts and changed six women's looks from a total bust to bra-vo!

End spillage with 3-part cups.

Each cup has a side panel (that works like a sling to add support), a center panel (that gives breasts a round shape), and a stretchy top panel (that prevents spillover).

Erase back fat with a tank bra.

So frustrating when you find a bra that perks you up in the front, then realize it creates lumps and bumps in the back. Try a tank-like bra that spreads the tension evenly over a much wider area.

Avoid uniboob with a double-layer minimizer.

The newest minimizers have enough stretch in the cups to encapsulate each breast and boast a layer of strong sheer fabric that pushes the bust up and together.

Boost a saggy bust with elevating 'U' padding.

A molded-cup bra that has a hidden strip of U-shaped padding at the base of the cups raises breasts halfway between the elbows and shoulders—the most natural gravity-defying position.

Prevent pit pudge with a wide-band pushup.

Look for a fully padded bra with a back band that’s at least 3 inches tall. Also, try going up a cup size—you won’t feel much difference in the cups, but the band tends to be significantly larger.

Fix east-west breasts with a graduated push-up.

Padding that's fuller at the bottom and sides and gets thinner as it goes up and in pushes bosom up and in for fuller cleavage. Crisscross the straps across the back to amplify the effect.
