My saggy breasts

Published by

I am a 40-year-old lady. I noticed that my breasts have been sagging for some time. I will appreciate it if you can advise me on how to handle the problem

Breast ptosis (that’s the medical term for drooping breasts) will happen naturally over time. How much of this will happen is mostly out of your control. Some of the common causes of sagging breasts include; number of pregnancies, menopause, high body mass index (BMI), bigger boobs as well as frequent smoking, which can mess with your skin’s elasticity. It’s also common to have some loose skin after weight loss, especially if you lose weight quickly. Wearing a supportive bra can help hold things in place, but it won’t promote or prevent true sagging.
