A sagging or drooping bréast is a natural, inevitable process
that 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 bréast are said to occur with age, but a bréast 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 bréastfeeding. 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 bréastfeeding is responsible.In
some cases, it even happens without pregnancy. Sagging can happen sooner
than expected, except those with very small bréasts. It is not uncommon
to see teens with drooping bréasts. Another reason bréasts are thought
to sag is excessive weight. Being overweight puts extra tissues on the
bréasts, which make them heavier and therefore sag.
Bréast sagging cannot be totally prevented. Even with bréast 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 Bréasts
This may sound strange, as most people are familiar with body massage
and not bréast massage. But the best and easiest way to reduce the
potential problems of sagging and fibro cystic lumps is to self massage
your bréasts at least three to five times in a week. This works in two
ways. One, it releases stagnated fluids in the bréast. Secondly, it
helps in reshaping and lifting the bréasts. For optimum results, use
natural, organic bréast massage oils made just for bréasts.Use Correct
Brá.
Correct choice of brá can help reduce incidence of bréast sagging.
While you are getting dressed, make sure your straps are adjusted
correctly. For those that are busty, choose brás that are specially
designed for large bréasts. For women who do sports that involve a lot
of movement, such as running or football, it is important to wear
supportive sports brá.
When bréasts bounce a lot during sports, it can stretch and harm the
ligaments inside the bréasts. Avoid going brá-less, because going
without a brá for too long will further stretch the bréast tissues. Brás
should also be worn correctly by ensuring that the middle of the brá is
centred within your body.
Maintain A Steady Weight
Adding and shedding weight causes changes in the size of bréasts.
Excessive weight causes the bréasts to enlarge, which stretches the
skin. When you shed weight, the bréast skin becomes stretched, making
the bréast 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 bréast 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 bréast tissues, and
over time, smoking can lead to breakdown of tissues that result in
sagging bréasts.
Mind Your Exercise
When it comes to exercise, it may be both good and bad for the bréasts.
The right method can keep the bréasts firm by providing better blood
supply. While there are no muscles in the bréast 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
bréasts bounce in a figure of eight. This causes wear and tear on the
supporting ligaments.
In a research, it was found that bréasts 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 bréasts 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 brá whenever you
exercise.
