What Causes Saggy Breasts?

 

Age:

This is probably the most familiar cause but surely not the only cause of sagging breasts as some women think. As women grow older, the ligaments that make up the breast tissues stretch and lose elasticity leading to the breasts losing their fullness, and their support system of tissue and fat also reduces drastically. This is very clear especially during menopause.

Using the right size of bra:

Using wrong-sized bras like under-sized ones discourage the growth of supporting breast tissues which can result in sagging breasts. It's highly advisable to use professionally fitted, moderate bra sizes that give enough room to contain your breasts, firm your breasts, and prevent breasts from sagging.

Smoking:

Smoking is one of the factors and a lot of women don't actually know. Cigarettes contain carcinogens that breakdown elastin in the body and these elastin fibers are responsible for skin elasticity throughout the body and could also cause sagging.

Weight gain:

Weight gain is somewhat an easier way of getting sagging breasts in that when your body undergoes great fluctuations in weight it invariably leads to the breasts being stretched and then causing sagging. It is advisable that women try as much as possible to keep up a healthy weight to avoid stretching.

Sunburn:

Now sunburn is another somewhat infamous cause of breasts to sag. If you are exposed to ultraviolet rays it damages the skin while also causing its loss of elasticity.

Gravitational pull:

The years and years of gravitational pull actually takes its toll, you might not notice but it's been found out to do and this affects the women with the larger breasts more.

Lack of Proper care:

As for proper care, generally, we as human beings are advised to take good proper care of our body parts. If you don't give proper attention to your breasts, there is a huge chance they would sag. Just simple daily moisturizer and massaging with some oils can help go a long way in keeping your breasts in good shape every time.

There is the preconceived notion that breastfeeding causes breasts to sag, but in fact, research has shown that it is simply the size changes that a woman's breasts undergo through pregnancy that causes sagging. For women who are concerned about this change, It is advisable they lose the extra baby-weight as quickly as possible after childbirth to go back to their 'normal' weight and size.

Saggy breasts are not dysfunctional. So you should avoid treating it as a problem. However, there are real ways on how to get rid of saggy breasts naturally without surgery.

But you know as they say prevention is actually the best cure. If you care more for your breasts, you won't have any reason to worry about them in the future.
