Five causes of breast sagging

Breast sagging is part of the body changes that most women experience, especially as they get older.  

In this article, TRIBUNE ONLINE highlights five (5) reasons for breast sagging among women.

1. Sunburn: Ultraviolet rays damage the skin and cause loss of elasticity as well.

2. Gravitational pull: Years of gravitational pull take its toll, especially on women with larger breasts.

3. Smoking: Carcinogens in cigarette smoke cause elastin to break down in the body. These elastin fibers are responsible for skin elasticity throughout the body.

4. Aging: As a woman gets older, the ligaments that make up the breast tissue stretch and lose elasticity.

5. Weight gain: Major fluctuations in weight can cause unnecessary stretching of the breasts.
