Breast sagging

The place where the outer edge of the breast meets the body surface is called the inframammary fold. Under normal circumstances, especially in young women, the level of the nipple is above the inframammary fold. If it falls below it, it is the so-called sagging breasts. The less optimistic you are about relaxing, the lower you will fall.

1. Internal reasons

1. Breastfeeding causes sagging breasts

Usually after breastfeeding stops, due to the decrease of estrogen, the mammary alveolar ducts, glandular ducts and fat tissue will shrink, while the skin and supporting tissue are relatively more, which will cause sagging breasts.

2. Losing weight causes sagging breasts

It is caused by losing weight too quickly, which leads to sagging of fat tissue and skin in the breast. Common in young women.

3. Sagging breasts in the elderly

As people age, their various functions decline to a certain extent, and their endocrine functions also decline. The sagging breasts of the elderly are caused by the significant decline and shrinkage of the skin, functional tissues, fat and glandular ducts, so the breasts appear to be hollow and loose.

(II) External causes

1. Excessive fasting and insufficient protein intake

If you are in a hungry state for a long time, the body will think it has entered a famine era, and it will inevitably stimulate the 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, the muscles flow out, and the lack of nutrition causes the glandular tissue to shrink. The overall chest tissue decreases, but the connective tissue connecting the muscles and breasts does not decrease accordingly, so the chest shrinks and becomes sagging. 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 calcium, magnesium, iron, etc. to provide adequate nutrition for the breasts, as well as maintain a balanced hormone level, which can make the breasts round and firm.

2. Like to use very hot water to wash

When taking a bath, avoid using boiling water to irritate the breasts, and don't soak in boiling water for a long time. Otherwise, it will burn the thin stratum corneum on the surface of the skin, making the skin drier and the soft tissue of the breast looser. The ideal temperature for bathing is around 27 degrees.

3. Like to use a nozzle to clean breasts

Never underestimate the impact of bathing on the breasts. Poor water impact may cause pressure on the breasts. You cannot use direct current to flush the tendons at the two shoulder locations. The location of the tendons is roughly the same as the location of the bra straps, and the tendons play a role in lifting and tightening the chest. Maintaining your tendons can prevent and alleviate relaxation. Using the nozzle to clean the breasts from bottom to top can have the effect of making the breasts stand up and lift up.

4. The bra size does not match or the wearing method is incorrect

Many women buy a bra without trying it home. In fact, a bra that is too small will affect the growth and development of the breasts, while long-term wearing a bra that is too large may cause sagging breasts. With the change of age and before and after marriage or before and after birth, women's breast size will change. At this time, when buying a bra, you need to adjust the size and try it on before buying.

When wearing a bra, you can't just buckle it casually. Instead, you should buckle the bra first, then adjust the straps, bend forward, and force all the breasts and the surrounding fat into the cup to make them look full and round. This can also prevent the breast fat from shifting and make the breasts smaller.

5. Sleeping on your stomach

Sometimes sleeping on your stomach is okay, but sleeping face down for a long time will cause excessive compression of the breast tissue, leading to premature aging of the breasts, sagging skin, deformed and protruding breasts, and poor blood circulation in the breasts. If it has already occurred, the remedy is to sleep in a supine position or put a small pillow under your back.

6. Not wearing a sports bra when exercising

When doing exercises such as jogging and jumping, if you don't wear a fashionable sports bra, your breasts will involuntarily shake violently, causing permanent damage to the collagen fiber tissue in the breasts. According to a survey, 50% of the women interviewed are unaware that the strong shaking of the breasts during exercise will damage the collagen fiber tissue of the breasts and cause the breasts to sag. Excessive exercise or not paying attention to wearing bras during exercise may damage the breasts. People with big breasts will become loose, and people with flat chests will become smaller. Especially for girls who like jogging, jumping, and other breast reduction exercises, you should pay attention to wearing sports bras during exercise to protect your breasts.
