Magnificent forms are the dignity of every woman. That is why women are so upset and worried when they discover that their breasts sagged. Men’s opinions on how this part of the female body should be divergent, some like the curvaceous, others small, but for sure there will not be a single male who would like sagging breasts.
Women who are faced with this problem are embarrassed by their bodies, so they are trying in every possible way to return to their former shape.
Reasons for Sagging
Sagging breasts, like skin on other parts of the body, such as the eyelids, is known in medicine as “ptosis”.
There are several reasons for this condition of sagging breasts, among them experts call:
- The force of gravity. Sagging occurs as a result of the severity of the mammary glands. This occurs only in women with magnificent forms, in this case, the presence of small mammary glands is an advantage;
- Muscle weakening and loss of skin elasticity as a result of the aging of the female body;
- Breast enlargement during pregnancy and lactation;
- Atrophy of the mammary glands, which occurs under the influence of hormonal changes during menopause.
It is very difficult to deal with these factors, it takes a lot of time and effort to bring the body into shape, so many women refuse to solve the problem. However, if you know why the sagging breast is in your situation, you can again make it elastic and attractive..
Very often, ptosis is observed immediately after childbirth, when a woman begins to feed her baby. In many nursing mothers, their breasts sag, resembling empty bags, which causes self-doubt. If you belong to this category of women, then you probably know that in this case the skin becomes thin and flabby, and the nipples are extended.
Another common cause of such unpleasant changes in appearance is a sharp weight loss. If you adhere to strict diets, while not doing special physical exercises aimed at correcting the mammary glands, they will soon leave no trace.
This process is explained by the fact that the mammary glands are more composed of adipose tissue, especially if the woman has magnificent forms. When losing weight, fat leaves not only the problem areas of the body – thighs, buttocks and abdomen, but also after the diet, the chest also loses weight.
An important role in maintaining this part of the female body in good shape is played by a correctly selected bra. If in the wardrobe of a woman with curvaceous forms there is no supportive bra, most likely, she cannot boast of a tightened breast.
Ways to solve the problem
However, you should know that specially designed exercises will help you restore only the underlying pectoral muscles. The mammary gland consists of glandular tissue and skin, so it is impossible to increase its size or significantly tighten it with the help of sports. In the treatment of ptosis, such procedures as massage, baths, masks, contrast showers will also not have a quick effect, but with the help of these actions you can restore skin firmness.
If your breast sagged after breastfeeding or such changes occurred under the influence of other factors, you should be patient and carry out the following procedures:

- perform specially selected physical exercises;
- take spa, bot and collagen lifting procedures;
- try mesotherapy or acupuncture;
- perform manual and hardware massage.
