Sagging Breasts

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 am 20 years old, my first bra size when i was 10 was a 36 DD, now i am 20, my bra size is now a 28 K, its getting silly, there are only 4 bra's in the whole of the UK that caters for my size. I am young and my back is so painful. I didn't want to have a reduction but i think its got to the stage now where i am going to have to, although i'm not 100% about having it, as i want to breast feed when i have children.

I'm 19 years old and am 32 HH i'm not really fat but i would like to loose weight but every time i do i get excess skin on my boobs like old people get and i hate it what can i do to help it and still loose weight?!

I'm 23 and a single mum to a 2 year old daughter. I have always had big boobs but it never bothered me, I used to be really proud of my breasts!! Since having baby I met a really nice guy, of course I was worried about him seeing my body as he was the first guy since having my daughter, all I could think about was my boobs or belly being on show!! I have gone from loving them to hating them!! They sag so much (and I'm only 23!!) It gets me down so much I could honstely cry!! I have resorted to not looking in a mirror so I can't see them and making sure that when I undress around my boyf that the lights are ALWAYS off, and getting up in the morining before he wakes up. It's so silly I know but can't help it, I hate my body and it's making a knock on effect in every other aspect of my life.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can sort my manky boobs out? Please?
