However,
although they are constantly trying to prevent this phenomenon, breasts lose
elasticity and become saggy over time.
This puts
women into a desperate situation, as they lose self- confidence and feel less
attractive. Fortunately, there are some things you can do and prevent sagging
of your breasts and keep the ideal look of your breasts longer. Nevertheless,
we need to start with the reason for breasts sagging.
Causes
In most
cases, saggy breasts usually appear after the age of 40, but this is not always
the case, as they can appear earlier if the skin becomes old, loose and loses
elasticity. Breasts are not made of muscle, so you need to keep them I shape.
They contain fat, milk-producing glands and connective tissues.
Saggy
breasts can also appear as a result of smoking, improper bras, menopause,
improper nutrition, rapid weight gain or loss and over-tanning.
This
phenomenon is also very common in after pregnancy, but it does not result from
breastfeeding. The real cause is in fact weight gain during pregnancy,
which leads to stretching of the ligaments. So, in order to prevent saggy
breasts, you need to pay attention to your weigh gain in this period of your life.
Saggy
breasts can also appear due to diseases like tuberculosis and breast
cancer. Alcohol and carbonated beverages may as well lead to saggy
breasts.
Over-tanning
and cigarettes
Collagen
is destroyed by a long exposure to UV rays. Moreover, smoking is a harmful
habit which leads to saggy breasts as well.
Wrong
sized bras
The wrong
size of a bra can significantly increase the risk of saggy breasts. In order to
prevent this phenomenon, you should choose bras with holders or pads.
Bras
A French
research has pointed put that bras are the major reason for saggy breasts, as
they prevent the development and growth of the muscle tissues.
It
suggests that breasts need to be exposed to gravity, but wearing a bra for a
long period of time will not do any good for them, in fact, it can harm their
appearance.
Namely,
women who do not wear bras have more developed muscle tissues which offer them
natural support. This is not the case with the muscle tissues of women who wear
bras regularly.
Furthermore,
women who do not wear bras have more lifted nipples.
Yet, we
need to consider the fact that this study applies only on the women who
participated in the research, and effects may differ in other women, in
particular, in the case of those who have worn bras their entire lives.
Nevertheless,
we suggest that you forget about those expensive lotions and creams you use to
treat this issue, since we will offer you a few tips and ways to treat and
prevent saggy breasts.
