most women experience at some points in their lives. Women tend to be
bothered by this life's normal process, because they feel it makes
them unattractive.
Drooping breast are said to occur with age, but a breast can actually
start sagging at any age simply because they do not have muscles in
them...
While the causes of sagging are not known, many schools of thought
attribute the cause of this phenomenon to breastfeeding. But many
researches and studies have shown that this is a complete myth.
Outcomes of studies and researches have found that expansion and
contraction of milk glands during pregnancy and not breastfeeding is
responsible.
In some cases, it even happens without pregnancy. Sagging can happen
sooner than expected, except those with very small breasts. It is not
uncommon to see teens with drooping breasts. Another reason breasts
are thought to sag is excessive weight. Being overweight puts extra
tissues on the breasts, which make them heavier and therefore sag.
Breast sagging cannot be totally prevented. Even with breast lift
surgery, the results are not permanent, because the skin and the
ligaments will eventually stretch.
However, there are a few things you can do:
Massage Your Breasts
This may sound strange, as most people are familiar with body massage
and not breast massage. But the best and easiest way to reduce the
potential problems of sagging and fibro cystic lumps is to self
massage your breasts at least three to five times in a week. This
works in two ways. One, it releases stagnated fluids in the breast.
Secondly, it helps in reshaping and lifting the breasts. For optimum
results, use natural, organic breast massage oils made just for
breasts.
Use Correct Bra
Correct choice of bra can help reduce incidence of breast sagging.
While you are getting dressed, make sure your straps are adjusted
correctly. For those that are busty, choose bras that are specially
designed for large breasts. For women who do sports that involve a lot
of movement, such as running or football, it is important to wear
supportive sports bra.
When breasts bounce a lot during sports, it can stretch and harm the
ligaments inside the breasts. Avoid going bra-less, because going
without a bra for too long will further stretch the breast tissues.
Bras should also be worn correctly by ensuring that the middle of the
bra is centred within your body.
Maintain A Steady Weight
Adding and shedding weight causes changes in the size of breasts.
Excessive weight causes the breasts to enlarge, which stretches the
skin. When you shed weight, the breast skin becomes stretched, making
the breast appear empty with a saggy look.
Try to maintain a stable weight by exercising and eating a balanced
diet. Eating whole grains with plenty of vegetables and avoiding junk
foods also helps to maintain a steady weight. One hour of walk or half
an hour of aerobics everyday helps to keep the metabolism up and the
weight steady.
Stop Smoking (if you do)
The side effects of smoking are numerous, and breast sagging is one of
them. When a person smokes, the carcinogens present in the smoke enter
the body and cause elastin to break down in the body. Elastin fibres
are responsible for skin suppleness; meaning the absence of these
fibres causes the skin to sag. These fibres are found in breast
tissues, and over time, smoking can lead to breakdown of tissues that
result in sagging breasts.
Mind Your Exercise
When it comes to exercise, it may be both good and bad for the
breasts. The right method can keep the breasts firm by providing
better blood supply. While there are no muscles in the breast itself,
it is possible to build up the underlying pectorals for a lifting
effect. But exercises like running may harm. While running without
proper support, the breasts bounce in a figure of eight. This causes
wear and tear on the supporting ligaments.
In a research, it was found that breasts move an average of 10cms up
and down, side-to-side and forwards and backwards while running. The
larger the size, the greater the force on the breasts and the more
they need to be restrained to avoid harm to the ligaments and
connective tissue. This is why it is very important to wear a sports
bra whenever you exercise.
