- age
This is probably the most familiar cause but surely not the only cause of sagging breasts as some women think. As women age, the ligaments that make up the breast tissues stretch and lose elasticity, causing the breasts to lose their fullness and their support system of tissue and fat to also reduce dramatically. This is very clear especially during menopause.
- Wear the correct bra size
Wearing incorrectly sized bras, such as undersized ones, discourages the growth of supportive breast tissues, which can lead to sagging breasts. It is highly recommended to wear professionally fitted, moderate size bras that provide enough room to contain your breasts, firm your breasts, and prevent sagging.
- tuxedo
Smoking is one of the factors and many women don’t really know it. Cigarettes contain carcinogens that break down elastin in the body and these elastin fibers are responsible for the elasticity of the skin throughout the body and can also cause sagging.
- weight gain
Weight gain is in some ways an easier way to have sagging breasts, as when your body experiences large fluctuations in weight, it invariably leads to the breasts stretching out and then causing sagging. It is recommended that women try as much as possible to maintain a healthy weight to avoid stretching.
- Sun tanning
Now, sunburn is another somewhat infamous cause of sagging breasts. If you are exposed to ultraviolet rays, it damages the skin and also causes its loss of elasticity.
- gravity pull
The years and years of gravitational pull actually take their toll, you may not notice it, but it has been found to do so and it affects women with larger breasts more.
- Lack of proper care
Regarding proper care, generally we as human beings are advised to take good care of our body parts. If you do not pay due attention to your breasts, there is a great chance that they will sag. Just a simple daily moisturizer and a massage with some oils can go a long way in keeping your breasts in good shape all the time.
There is a preconceived notion that breastfeeding causes the breasts to sag, but in fact, research has shown that it is simply the changes in size that a woman’s breasts experience during pregnancy that cause sagging. For women who are concerned about this change, it is advisable to lose the extra baby weight as quickly as possible after delivery in order to return to their ‘normal’ weight and size.
Saggy breasts are not dysfunctional. Therefore, you should avoid treating it as a problem. However, there are real ways on how to get rid of sagging breasts naturally without surgery.
But you know, as they say, prevention is actually the best cure. If you care more about your breasts, you won’t have any reason to worry about them in the future.
