What causes sagging breasts in women?

In life, many women find that their breasts are sagging. In fact, as they age, the hormones in various aspects of women's bodies are decreasing. Generally, it is very normal for elderly people to have sagging breasts. Many young women also have sagging breasts, which is probably very distressing. So what are the reasons for sagging breasts? Let's follow the editor to find out.

1. Excessive dieting and insufficient protein intake

When the body is in a state of hunger for a long time, it thinks it has entered a famine era and will inevitably mobilize stored fat and protein to cope with it. One of the main structural components of the breast is fat and collagen. The chest fat decreases, the skin becomes loose, and the chest muscles are lost. Malnutrition causes the glandular tissue to atrophy, and the overall chest tissue decreases. However, the connective tissue connecting the chest muscles and breasts does not decrease accordingly, so the breasts become smaller and sag.

2. Like to wash with very hot water

Avoid using hot water to irritate the breasts when taking a bath, and don't soak in hot water for a long time. Otherwise, it will burn the stratum corneum on the surface of the skin, making the skin drier and drier, and the soft tissue of the breast more and more loose. The water temperature for bathing should be around 27 degrees.

3. Like to use a shower head to wash breasts

Don’t underestimate the impact of bathing on the breasts. Improper water impact may cause burden on the breasts. Do not use direct water to flush the ligaments on the shoulders. The position of the ligaments is roughly the same as that of the bra shoulder straps, and it is the ligaments that play the role of lifting the breasts. Protecting the ligaments can prevent and delay sagging. Using a shower head to rinse the breasts from bottom to top can help firm and lift the breasts.

4. The bra size does not match, and the wearing method is wrong

Many women buy a bra without trying it on before buying it home. In fact, a bra that is too small will affect the development of the breasts, while wearing a bra that is too large for a long time may cause sagging breasts. As women age, and before and after marriage or pregnancy, the size of their breasts will change. At this time, when purchasing a bra, you need to adjust the size and try it on before buying.

The above are some of the reasons for sagging breasts. Many young female friends adopt dieting methods to lose weight, and excessive dieting will cause sagging breasts. Some other reasons are some details in life, such as not using hot water to stimulate the breasts when taking a bath, and women wearing underwear that is too small will affect the development of the breasts.
