Can sagging breasts be restored?

Breast sagging is very common among women, especially in middle-aged women. There are many reasons for sagging breasts. Some are because of just ending breastfeeding, while others are due to breast diseases. Sagging breasts have a great impact on women's figure, so many women will try to improve this situation. So, is it possible to restore sagging breasts?

The firmness of the breasts is related to the pectoral muscles

We all know that there are no muscles or bones in soft breasts. They are attached to the pectoral muscles by ligaments, so the curve of the breasts is also determined by the pectoral muscles. If the pectoral muscles are not strong enough to support the weight of the breasts, the breasts will naturally sag. This has nothing to do with whether the mother is breastfeeding. This means that you may have sagging breasts even if you are not breastfeeding. As long as we understand the reasons and take protective measures, we can keep our breasts in perfect curves even when breastfeeding.

Causes of sagging breasts

1. Loose breast suspensory ligaments

Just as wrinkles on the skin are caused by the smooth and firm skin losing support, the normal shape of the mother's breasts is related to the suspensory ligaments of the breasts. If the breast ligaments are loose and cannot hold the breasts in place, it will cause breast sagging.

2. Excessive breast weight

During breastfeeding, the mother's mammary glands are filled with milk and the weight of the breasts increases significantly, which can easily cause breast sagging. As we all know, gravity pulls everything toward the center of the earth, and breasts are no exception.

Two measures to prevent breast sagging

Choosing the right underwear

To prevent sagging breasts, mothers should pay attention to choosing suitable bras when their breasts become larger during pregnancy and lactation. In addition, mothers who are breastfeeding should also insist on wearing bras. They can choose full cup or 3/4 cup bras, which can better support the breasts, reduce the pressure on the suspensory ligaments of the breasts, and help prevent sagging.

Massage + exercise

Breast massage can promote blood circulation, stimulate the secretion of estrogen, and effectively prevent breast atrophy and sagging.

you can:

Take a small period of time every day, lie on your back, support the bottom of your left breast with your left hand, and at the same time use your right palm and left hand to push towards the nipple 20-30 times, then use the same method to massage the right breast. Exercise can also help strengthen your chest muscles.

Doing simple chest expansion exercises and arm raising exercises every day will enable the chest muscles to support heavier breasts and help prevent breast sagging.
