Every woman desires firm breasts, especially after childbirth or breastfeeding, but this is not always the case. Although breastfeeding tends to take all the blame for saggy breasts, it is not the sole cause of drooping breasts.

Sagging is the result of pregnancy and other influences.

They include genetics, age, smoking, size/shape of your pre-pregnancy breast, number of children you have, and your age. Don’t let saggy breasts weigh you down.

Sleep on your back whenever possible.

Did you know women can develop chest wrinkles from sleeping on their stomachs? This so says Dr Rey, who advises always wearing sunscreen and moisturizer on the chest area to prevent unwanted creases and suggests his Sleep Bra to help prevent ptosis (sagging breasts) in the future.

Wearing a Well-Fitted Bra

You'd think that wearing a bra would protect the ligaments in the breasts, which would help retain perkiness. But studies have shown that more than 70% of women wear the wrong bra size, which may damage their breasts, potentially contributing to strain and sagging.

Also, it's important to remember not to use bras that lift your breasts excessively. According to studies, wearing bras that support your breasts too much can damage the muscles that hold them up, which could potentially hasten the drooping process.


Avoiding Smoking

On top of all the other harmful effects of cigarette smoke, it's also a breast sag offender.

Research has suggested that smoking is a significant risk factor for sagging breasts, among other risk factors—including a history of weight loss, larger bra cup size, and the number of pregnancies. Smoking can also cause the collagen in your skin to break down, promoting droop.
