Causes of sagging breasts

Sagging breasts is a disease that troubles many female friends. Sagging breasts not only affect the perfection of the breasts, but also affect the physical health of female friends. For the case of sagging breasts, we suggest that female friends should pay attention to their daily dressing, massage their breasts appropriately, and treat the sagging breasts in time.

1. Breast sagging caused by breastfeeding: Generally, after breastfeeding stops, due to the decrease in hormone levels, the mammary alveolar ducts, glands and adipose tissue will atrophy, while the skin and supporting tissue will increase accordingly, which will cause breast sagging.

The degree of breast sagging that occurs in women after lactation is related to the number of pregnancies and lactations. This is mainly because after lactation, the alveoli in the female breasts atrophy, and the fibrous connective tissue in the original interstitium is extended and stretched due to being filled with milk in the late pregnancy and lactation period. In this case, after stopping breastfeeding, the fibrous connective tissue does not shrink completely and is relatively elongated, so the breasts will become loose and sagging.

2. Breast sagging caused by weight loss: This is caused by losing weight too quickly, which causes the fat tissue and skin in the breast to become loose. More common in young and middle-aged women.

3. Breast sagging in the elderly: As people age, various functions decline, and endocrine functions also decline.

Women's sagging breasts are believed to be due to feeding babies, so sagging breasts are a symbol of breastfeeding. But this story happened before the Japanese ate sour plums and porridge after giving birth. From a physiological point of view, if you eat sour plums, porridge or kimchi porridge, it will cause breast sagging. Unfortunately, the changes produced in the mother's body are not only breast sagging, there are other effects. Even the muscles of the eyelids, cheeks, chin, upper arms, abdomen, legs, etc. will experience the same phenomenon as sagging breasts. The more children Japanese women have, the more wrinkles and muscle sagging they will develop. This tendency is closely related to the food they eat to recuperate after childbirth.

Because, from a physiological point of view, the acid and salt in sour plums and the moisture in porridge will relax the cells of the human body, and even the internal organs and muscles will relax and sag. Eating these foods after giving birth will produce such results.

Bad daily habits cause breast sagging:

1. Excessive dieting and insufficient protein intake

When the body is in a state of hunger for a long time, it thinks it has entered a famine era and will inevitably mobilize stored fat and protein to cope with it. One of the main structural components of the breast is fat and collagen. The chest fat decreases, the skin becomes loose, and the chest muscles are lost. Malnutrition causes the glandular tissue to atrophy, and the overall chest tissue decreases. However, the connective tissue connecting the chest muscles and breasts does not decrease accordingly, so the breasts become smaller and sag. In order to prevent the breasts from becoming smaller and sagging during weight loss, you should eat high-protein foods and supplement with vitamins A, B, C, E, minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, etc. to provide the breasts with sufficient nutrition and maintain a balanced hormone level, which can make the breasts full and firm.

2. Like to wash with very hot water

Avoid using hot water to irritate the breasts when taking a bath, and don't soak in hot water for a long time. Otherwise, it will burn the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin, making the skin drier and drier, and the soft tissue of the breast more and more loose. The water temperature for bathing should be around 27 degrees.

3. Like to use a shower head to wash breasts

Don’t underestimate the impact of bathing on the breasts. Improper water impact may cause burden on the breasts. Do not use direct water to flush the ligaments on the shoulders. The position of the ligaments is roughly the same as that of the bra shoulder straps, and it is the ligaments that play the role of lifting the breasts. Protecting the ligaments can prevent and delay sagging. Using a shower head to rinse the breasts from bottom to top can help firm and lift the breasts.

4. The bra size does not match, and the wearing method is wrong

Many women buy a bra without trying it on before buying it home. In fact, a bra that is too small will affect the development of the breasts, while wearing a bra that is too large for a long time may cause sagging breasts. As women age, and before and after marriage or pregnancy, the size of their breasts will change. At this time, when purchasing a bra, you need to adjust the size and try it on before buying. When wearing a bra, you should not just buckle it casually. Instead, you should buckle the bra first, then adjust the shoulder straps, bend forward, and use your hands to stuff the entire breast and the surrounding fat into the cup to make it appear full and plump. This can also prevent breast fat from migrating outward and making the breasts smaller. In addition, the choice of underwear should also be based on the shape of the breasts. The full cup is suitable for fully surrounding the breasts. It can tighten diffused or sagging breasts and is suitable for women with plump or sagging breasts; the half cup can directly support the lower part of the breasts, and the vertical chest strap can raise the chest line, making the breasts plump and spherical, which is more suitable for women with sagging breasts; the side cup can push the breasts from both sides to the middle, making the breasts plump, which is suitable for women with outward-spreading or flat breasts; the 3/4 cup is suitable for women with plump but sagging breasts.

5. Sleeping on your stomach

It's okay to sleep on your stomach occasionally, but if you sleep face down for a long time, the breast tissue of women will be squeezed too much, which will cause premature aging of the breasts, sagging skin, deformation and expansion of the breasts, and poor blood circulation in the breasts. If it has already occurred, the remedy is to sleep on your back or put a small pillow under your back.

6. Not wearing a sports bra when exercising

If you don't wear a sports bra when running, jumping, or doing other exercises, your breasts will involuntarily swing greatly, causing permanent damage to the elastic fiber tissue in the breasts. According to statistics, 50% of the women interviewed do not know that the violent shaking of the breasts during exercise will damage the elastic fiber tissue of the breasts, causing the breasts to become loose and sagging. Excessive exercise or not paying attention to the underwear you wear when exercising may damage your breasts. People with large breasts will have sagging breasts, and people with small breasts will get smaller and smaller. Pay special attention to running, skipping and other breast-reducing exercises that are popular among girls. Be sure to wear sports bras when exercising to protect your breasts.

If you encounter the situation of sagging breasts in your life, we suggest that patients should improve their living habits, especially female friends who sleep on their stomachs, which can easily lead to breast deformation. You should also wear underwear when exercising to prevent sagging breasts.
