Firm Sagging Breasts

I have two children, after i stopped feeding, my breasts have become very soft and smooth, and bit of sagging. Please give some remedies for tightening my breasts.



The sagging of breasts is a natural process. It happens, to some or the other extent, to all women. The sagging or drooping of breasts can occur can at any age and due to various reasons. The important thing to remember is that breasts do not have any muscles in them. They have connective tissues and ligaments. When these tissues or ligaments are stretched, the breasts appear to sag or droop downwards. The most common cause for sagging breasts is the one that you have described. It is known as breast involution. There are natural breast lift methods that will help to reduce the effect of the sagging breasts.After you stop breast feeding, the milk making system in the breast is no longer needed.

Therefore, it starts shrinking. As the skin of your breast does not shrink, while the tissues inside it shrink, the breast would appear droopy and saggy. This process is known as breast involution. It is important to note here that breast feeding alone does not cause the sagging of breasts. It is the entire process of pregnancy and the physical changes that the body goes through during pregnancy, that cause the sagging the breasts. Factors like the size of the breasts before the pregnancy, the number of pregnancies and age will all affect the extent of breast sagging.Wearing sports bras for sagging breasts will help prevent further sagging of breasts. Sports bras will help conceal the sagging breasts and therefore works as good sagging breasts remedy. Wearing a good sports bra, especially during active sports like jogging, will help prevent further sagging by reducing its movement. Excessive movement of the breasts during activities like jogging and so on could overstretch the ligaments inside the breasts and cause more sagging. The wearing of sports bras is the most popular sagging breasts remedy.

As stated earlier, breasts do not contain any muscles and hence they cannot be toned by exercise. However, the muscles surrounding the breast, if properly toned, are capable of providing support and lift to the breast. Here is a breast lifting exercise that can help to firm sagging breasts to some extent: You will need an exercise ball for this exercise. Recline with your head and shoulders on the exercise ball. Keep your feet on the floor and bend your knees to provide adequate support. You may stretch until you are balanced. Now you need to hold a toning bar with both your hands against your chest and look straight up. A toning bar is a long rod, somewhat like a long dumbbell. Raise the bar slowly and deliberately above your chest until your elbows are straight. Preferably, you should breathe out slowly while doing this. Now bring the bar back slowly to your chest position. This completes one repetition. Slowly repeat until you complete one set of repetitions. After all is said and done, you need to remember that breast sagging is an inevitable thing. Even if you fix sagging breasts with a breast lift surgery, the results are not permanent. The breasts will sag again eventually. One consolation is that, since it is inevitable, breast sagging occurs to some or the other extent to every woman, at some or the other stage in their life. As far as men are concerned, they are not bothered so much by it. If you find that this situation bothers the man you love, then you need to have a talk with him and explain to him that it is only natural. Remember that the body, both of men and women, is continually changing. The man who really loves you will understand this and not stop loving you for any physical changes that take place within the body.
