It is a fact
that breast sagging also referred to as ptosis is a condition experienced by
all women sooner or later in their life (except those having small breasts) .
Usually it is a condition occurring in adulthood, but it is now frequent among
teenagers. For many of us it occurs quiet early even without pregnancy, this is
possible in the case of those with heavy breasts.
Most women are concerned about the
breasts sagging, for they feel it reduces their attractiveness. But as a matter
of surprise, it is not a turn-off to many men. Don’t panic if you see your
breasts have started to sag early for there are numerous options available
because it is much easier to prevent the worsening of drooping than treating it.
Some of the
common CAUSES of sagging breasts
however include:
AGE – the
most common factor responsible for sagging breasts lies in growing age. The
skin tends to get loose because of inefficiency in producing sufficient amount of elastin and collagen thus,
leading to the breasts to sag or droop down.
BRA – it is
a common misconception that wearing a bra prevents the breasts from sagging. As
a matter of fact, the ligaments involved in holding the breasts can get thinner
and weaker if a bra is worn all the time.
SMOKING – this
is due to the reason that tobacco smoke carries free radicals responsible for
damaging skin cells thus, resulting in loss of elasticity. This can further
result in facial wrinkles and drooping breast.
WEIGHT
REDUCTION – when weight is loss, some amount of fat ebbs from the breasts. Generally,
the skin and the ligaments contained by the breasts do not pull back
accordingly leading to an empty looking breast which then droops.
BREASTS SIZE
& GRAVITY – can pull down the skin and ligaments in heavy breasts. When
gravity stretches the breast depending on the ligaments and the elasticity of
skin, as specified by your diet and genes besides the normal aging process, the
breasts tend to droop. Naturally, heavier breasts will droop more easily for
they are being pulled down more by the gravity.
Certain TIPS and WAYS which can help in avoiding or slowing down the process of
breasts sagging without requiring to go under knife. These include:
REPLACING
OLD BRAS – even the best bra available have a life as long as 6 – 9 months. The
cup and the band size get over stretched over time and the weight of the breast.
Moreover, the bra material is also
weakened through washing thus making the bra more stretched over passing time. It
is recommended to hand-wash bras in cold water and avoid drying it in a heated
drier.
MASSAGE –
regular massage on breasts helps increase the circulation in breast tissues.
This increased circulation budges fresh oxygen through the muscles and tissues
allowing the body to heal itself.
It implies that the body contains
fresh oxygen to encourage the growth of collagen thereby, increasing elasticity.
MOISTURIZING –
use moisturizing lotion on the body everyday. Dry and dehydrated skin is weaker
and more at risk of getting stretched. It is advisable to look for products
containing collagen-boosting ingredients, like holy basil or Echinacea.
SUPPORTIVE
BRAS – in your days of being young , your breasts might have delineated,
staying frisky even while moving bra-less. It is time to give your breast a break from all the heavy lifting from a
supportive bra.
· Go for bra that fits you properly
· That keeps your breast in place all
day
The main consideration while selecting the perfect bra is that the
nipples should rest between the shoulder and the elbow. If the breasts droop lower,
get re-fitted with a better spportive bra. Then the breasts will hold their
shape even without a bra for a longer time if they are kept supported.
Other efficient solution are;
· Breast Augmentation Surgery
· Pectoral Exercises
· Breast uplifting

changes many times during the life span due to fluctuation in weight . I hope
