How to determine whether the breasts are sagging?

Breast sagging is a common condition among women today, which often leads to body deformation and may also cause some breast diseases. Breast sagging is related to the incorrect way women wear underwear. Women's sagging breasts should be discovered and corrected in time to prevent the situation from getting worse. Of course, the first thing to do is to judge the sagging of breasts. So how do you judge whether a woman has sagging breasts? Let’s take a look together.

Breast ptosis degree:

Mild sagging: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by 1-2 cm.

Moderate ptosis: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by 2-3 cm.

Severe ptosis: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by 4-10cm.

Very severe ptosis: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by more than 10 cm.

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

Fusiform breast ptosis is a type of breast ptosis characterized by a shortened transverse diameter of the breast base. The circular coronal plane at the base of the breast is smaller than the coronal plane at the distal end of the breast, resembling a spindle, hence the name spindle-shaped breast ptosis. This type of breast ptosis deformity is caused by the herniation of breast tissue into the subcutaneous area of ​​the areola, and is often accompanied by large areola syndrome. It is more common in young and middle-aged women after breastfeeding.

Bandana breast ptosis is a condition in which the entire breast becomes flat, like a bandana hanging on the chest wall, hence the name. The coronal plane of the breast base is an oblong shape, the longitudinal diameter of the breast is larger than the transverse diameter, and there is no obvious herniation of breast tissue into the subcutaneous tissue of the areola area. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly women, especially postmenopausal women.

In horn-like sagging breasts, the coronal plane of the breast base and the distal coronal plane are basically equal, or the distal end is slightly smaller, the longitudinal diameter of the breast is longer, the nipple is located at the lower line of the breast, and the appearance is like a horn. The fiber and fat tissue in the breast are relatively increased, the mammary tissue is less, the breast feels denser, and the skin elasticity is better. This type of sagging breasts is more common in young women.

The above are some common symptoms of sagging breasts, so women should carefully understand the above content and make judgments. They should measure and judge whether their breasts are sagging regularly and in a timely manner to prevent breast sagging from causing breast diseases over time and affecting women's physical and mental health. Therefore, you should pay attention to the detailed standards above and make correct comparisons yourself to ensure whether your breasts are sagging and correct them as soon as possible.
