Conditions
Sagging Breasts
For many years women have believed that breast-feeding their ‘bundle of joy’ has cruelly robbed them of their once buoyant breasts. One second they’re there – in all their full, gravity-defying glory – and then after much suckling and several disarming toothless smiles, they’re gone! However, myth-busting US scientists have revealed that, while ageing, smoking, and getting pregnant in the first place, can lead to sagging breasts (or breast ptosis), nine months of breastfeeding a baby will not add to the droop. Smoking breaks down a protein in the skin called elastin, which makes skin look young and supports the breast, and pregnancy has negative effects that increase with each child. Even jogging or exercising without a proper sports bra can lead to sagging, with the uncontrolled movement of the breasts straining fragile tissues and ligaments. But whatever the reason for the things heading south, operations such as a mastopexy (breast uplift) can put some bounce back in your life – but always seek advice from your GP.

i have just turned 30 and have a beautiful boy of two years, when i was pregnant i went up to a size 2o and a 36g bra size. two years on i am now a size 6-8 dress size and a 32b/c, i have lost lots of weight, but unfortunatly my skin couldnt keep up with the weight loss and my breast suffered the most. I have seen my GP who has agreed my case is extreme and requested NHS funding for my breasts, this has been refused and I am so down about the way I look, I take ages choosing what to wear, cant bend over if ive got a low cut top on because the skin will fall out, which is difficult all day long trying not to bend over with a 2yr old. Wont let my hubby near me. My boobs are just left with the skin they where in. please help.

I'm seriously considering a reduction when I'm done having babies. I've always had big breasts I was a 32F pre-preg and now I'm a 34GG after having my son 7 months ago. It's ridiculous! I'm still breastfeeding so I dread to think what they'll look like when I stop

hi. I know how you feel! Im 21 and when i was 13 I lost a lot of weight. About the time my breasts were developing. However, they have never been perky at all and they just sag... Its getting me down as i would love to wear nice bras that show a bit of cleavage, but i cant. I cant afford a boob job and i would love my boobs to go back perky again... Hoping someone could help me on this... its really getting me down.
Im 18 and im a 34EE my breasts hang and one is abit bigger than the other, my nipples are really large i want to have a boyfriend but i dont want to get naked in front of them its ruining my life. Im savid for surgery. if anyone is in the same boat and same age please comment :) x
I know exactly how you feel! I'm 19 and have 28FF breasts. I don't know what to do about it, it really affects my confidence. Am thinking about saving for surgery too :( You're not alone at all! x
I completely understand. I'm 19 and used to be 34G and now a 32DD after having lost 2 stone and although my breasts are smaller, I have loads of thin skin leftover which makes my boobs sag and I have really big nipples. I couldn't ever take my bra off in front of anyone. Really annoying as well as I want a career in fitness but there is only so much my shoulders can take from wearing strap-me-down sports bras. really nice to know am not alone! (especially as my sisters do not have the same problem!)
