However, as they get married, have children and breastfeed, which are things that women must go through in their lives, their breasts will gradually sag, their breasts will become loose and their skin will become less firm. Therefore, this situation is generally divided into three stages and you need to identify which stage you are in.

What is sagging breasts ?

As women know, sagging breasts can cause women to lose their body shape. Therefore, they often lose the courage to participate in normal social activities, and develop a morbid psychology of inferiority and shame.

Breast sagging is a physiological phenomenon that is common in middle-aged and elderly women after pregnancy and lactation. It is caused by the proliferation of glandular and connective tissue in the breast, which causes the breast to enlarge and then shrink. As the breast grows, the elasticity of the skin and suspension support structure that are stretched and expanded decreases. Due to the effect of gravity, they no longer shrink and recover, causing the breast to relax and sag downward, like a bag.

What are the types of sagging breasts?

According to the degree of breast sagging, it can be divided into three degrees: Grade I: Breast sagging, the nipple is parallel to the breast inflection line.

Grade II: The nipple is lower than the inflection line of the skin under the breast, but higher than the lowest point of the breast.

Grade III: The nipple is located at the lowest point of the breast. However, some cases of breast sagging, especially those with distal breast hypertrophy, may have more severe sagging but the nipple is still not at the lowest point of the breast. This should also be considered as Grade III sagging.

There are generally three types of breast sagging: spindle-shaped breast sagging, triangular-shaped breast sagging and horn-shaped breast sagging.

So, how to prevent breast sagging?

Various measures to strengthen the body, especially exercises and cold water baths, will have a beneficial effect on the breasts. Short-term low temperature stimulation is very beneficial for improving the nutrition of breast tissue, increasing tension and promoting its normal growth.

Some women and girls suffer from loose, underdeveloped or sagging breasts due to weak breast muscles. Therefore, it is recommended that they do some physical exercises that strengthen the chest, back and whole body load, such as swimming (especially breaststroke), rowing, etc.

Choosing the right bra and paying attention to the wearing method should not be ignored. This is important for women with larger or sagging breasts. Improper bra selection and wearing can also hinder blood circulation in the breast area.
