Can saline injections be used to make breasts bigger?

Yes saline solution (sterile 0.9% salt water) can be injected
into breasts to make them bigger. More accurately the saline
"inflates" the breasts. Results can be spectacular but short lived,
as the saline solution absorbs into the body after a few days.
Anyone practicising this temporary method of breast enhancement
needs to take great caution to ensure that both the saline and the
drip tubes and needles are sterile. If not, a potentially
life-threatening infection can easily be drawn inside the body.

How do you make a percent solution of saline for nasal irrigation?

A one percent saline solution (roughly isotonic) can be made by
adding 1 teaspoon of salt to a litre of drinking water.
The salt should not contain added iodine or anti-caking agents.
Which means that kosher or pickling salt are appropriate but table
salt isn't.
The saline should be heated to a luke warm temperature before
use.

How can normal saline be made at home for nasal irrigation?

Simply mix salt with luke warm drinking water. You will need to
add 1 teaspoon of salt for every litre of water to create a normal
(isotonic) saline solution.
You should make sure that you use a salt that doesn't have added
iodine or anti-caking agents though. This usually means that table
salt is out of the question, but kosher or pickling salt should be
fine. When mixing the solution, bear in mind that it is best to err
on the side of extra salty, as hypotonic (not salty enough)
solutions are thought to be harmful and can sting quite a lot.

What does it mean if a puppy consistently has blood shot eyes?

dust in the environment can cause bloodshot eyes, as can
allergies. If it is just an irritation, you might want to try
irrigating their eyes with sterile saline, which you can buy at a
drugstore (Make sure not to get the solution with added
cleansing/sterilizing agents for contacts--you just want sterile
saline with nothing added.) It might take a while for them to get
used to having their eyes done. But if you used an eye-dropper and
kept it hidden until just before you put in the drops, you will
beable to sneak up on them.

Can you inflate your breasts?

Yes, it's possible to inflate breasts by injecting saline
