It’s natural for breast tissue to sag as you age. Weight gain and childbirth can also impact the appearance of your breasts.
Wearing a properly-fitted bra can help prevent early sagging. It’s also important to exercise regularly and avoid smoking. In addition, fenugreek can be used as a home remedy to firm sagging breasts.
1. Exercise
There are many things that can affect the firmness of your breasts. While it is natural for sagginess to occur as you age, certain things like pregnancy, smoking and changes in weight can speed up this process. You can take preventative steps to firm up your boobs by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
Exercise can increase the size of your pectoral muscles, which will lead to perkier boobs over time. However, there is no way to firm up the actual tissue of your breasts, as they are made of fat and are prone to sagging. The best thing you can do to firm your boobs is to avoid extreme fluctuations in your weight and keep your skin healthy and hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Another easy home remedy to try is splashing your boobs with cold water on a regular basis. This is said to tighten and lift the breasts, but Dr Hamza says this is just a myth that does not do anything.
A healthy, balanced diet that includes nutrient-rich foods will help maintain the elasticity of your breasts. Try to drink at least eight glasses of water daily and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Ayurvedic treatments like fenugreek can also help to firm up your boobs. To use fenugreek, mix it with water to form a paste and massage it into your boobs on a regular basis.
2. Weight Loss
Often, weight changes are the cause of breast sagging. Using diet and exercise, you can help to keep your breasts firm by losing any extra weight. However, excessive weight loss can have a negative impact on the breast tissue and skin. Extreme weight loss can cause the ligaments that support the breasts to weaken and stretch, which leads to sagging. Other things that can lead to sagging include smoking, alcohol consumption, and aging.
Depending on your genetics, the amount of breast sagging you experience is determined by how fast or slow the supporting tissue and fat tissue lose their elasticity. The quality of your skin elasticity also depends on how many essential skin-boosting substances, like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, your body produces.
There are a number of surgical procedures that can elevate the appearance of sagging boobs. One of the most popular is a breast lift, or mastopexy. This procedure reduces excess skin and improves drooping breasts to create an attractive, youthful figure. During a mastopexy, plastic surgeons can also add implants to the procedure for a fuller, more lifted look. If you have sagging breasts that aren’t responding to lifestyle and innerwear changes, Sydney Plastic Surgeons offer a variety of surgical procedures to restore the position of the nipples and areola, tighten and firm breast tissue, and pump up deflated breasts to give them a perky, natural-looking appearance.
3. Bras
Breast sagging is a natural bodily change that most women experience at some point. It is triggered by pregnancy, weight changes, aging, and gravity. The best way to prevent unwanted breast sagging is to wear the right bra.
Invest in a good-fitting bra, and get regularly measured to ensure the bra is properly fitted. A bra that is too loose can contribute to sagging by pulling the tissue out of shape. A bra that is too tight can also cause sagging by cutting into the skin and rolling up. A bra that is just the right fit will provide a secure hold on the breasts and lift them into a more firm, youthful appearance.
Choose a bra with wide straps and a strong band, which will help support the breasts and minimize sagging. You may want to opt for a balconette or demi cup bra, which offer more lift and help create a rounder and fuller look.
A good-fitting bra will distribute the breast tissues evenly and minimize sagging, as well as reduce bouncing under clothing. Avoid bras with stretchy straps, which will tend to slide off the shoulders and leave marks under clothing. You can also opt for a t-shirt bra, which provides the perfect blend of style and comfort, with seamless cups and no visible seams under body-hugging tops.
4. Breast Lifts
Breasts have ligaments and tissue that can change in shape over the course of a woman’s life. This is a natural part of the aging process, but pregnancy, childbirth, and significant weight loss can also change breast shape.
When these changes occur, it’s important to try to reduce sagging through lifestyle choices such as exercising, wearing a well-fitting bra, and avoiding smoking. However, these changes may not be enough to restore the original curve of your breasts. For women who want to improve their appearance, a breast lift (also known as mastopexy) can help.
There are many surgical options available for lifting sagging breasts, but choosing the right procedure depends on your goals and your anatomy. A surgeon will examine your chest and talk to you about your health history before making a recommendation.
The most common technique for a breast lift is called an anchor lift. This involves an incision around the areola and down to the breast crease. The incision is then closed. Another popular option is the lollipop lift, which uses an incision similar to the anchor lift but does not continue horizontally at the breast crease.
For a quick and non-invasive fix to sagging boobs, cosmetic lasers like the Fotona SP Dynamis offer a two-step procedure that tightens skin and tissue. Ask your local cosmetic surgeon for more information about how laser treatments can help to firm and lift sagging boobs.
