What Can Make Your Breasts Sag?

According to Dr. Satish Tibrewala, Gynaecologist from Bombay Hospital, your breasts can start sagging if there is too much fat accumulation.

Apart from that, your breasts will also be heavier than usual. Your breasts have muscles belowwhich help to hold your breasts in place. When these muscles become loose, they will stop supporting your breasts and as a result they will sag.

If you are a nursing mother, remember that breastfeeding your baby will not make your breasts sag. In fact, breastfeeding has nothing to do with the shape of your breasts. If you have loose muscles, your breasts are sure to sag.

….Exercise Your Way Out

To prevent breast sagging, you need to keep your breast muscles firm and toned just as the other parts of your body like you thighs and abs. Exercise regularly so that the muscles stay firm.

Although there is no specific age when you must start exercising, it is best to start exercising right from adolescence. Wearing a right bra will only support the breasts but cannot prevent them from sagging. 

Do Creams Help?

Dr. Satish Wadhwa, a Consultant Dermatologist from Breach Candy Hospital says, "Many creams that claim to help prevent breast sagging are available in the market.

However, these creams are just for external application." According to him, If you want to keep the breasts firm, you must reduce the fat because fat is the main culprit that makes your breasts sag.

Correct Breast Sagging

You can also get your breasts into shape by getting a plastic surgery done. Dr. Anil Tibrewala, Plastic Surgeon from Hinduja Hospital and Saifi Hospital suggests, "You can improve your breast size by going for Reduction Mammoplasty.

In this method, the volume of breast tissue is reduced. This method is used on people whose breasts sag because of too much fat." Another method of correcting the breasts is called Mastopexy. In this method, the breasts are given a lift just like a facelift.

Both of these methods would cost you anything from Rs. 50,000 to Rs, 1 lakh.

Remember, start early! Hit the gym, exercise regularly, cut down on your fat intake and this will help prevent your breasts from sagging.
