How to Firm your Breasts

Breast sagging and dropping is a completely natural process. Every woman faces this physical change at some point or another in their life. Sagging can start at any age. Our skin elasticity and ligaments determine the sagging for us.

Though we can not avoid it but we can definitely delay breast sagging or dropping. In this article we will discuss the causes and treatments for the sagging breasts.

Causes of breast sagging:

• Smoking: If we smoke the elasticity of our skin cells is reduced which in turn causes sagging breasts.
• Wearing a tight bra full time: This causes the weakening of ligaments which are responsible for holding our breasts up.
• Weight loss: Due to the loss of fatty tissues our breasts sag.
• Menopause: during menopause the glands inside our breasts reduce in size which gives them the dropping appearance.
• Pregnancy: the tissues loose elasticity if a woman does not breastfeed.
• Medical condition: Prolonged illness can lead to the loss of breast firmness.
• Bad posture, age and hereditary factors are also responsible for the sagging breasts.

Treatments for firm breasts:

• Breast lift surgery: Not many cosmetic treatments are available to treat sagging breasts. Breast lift surgery firms the breast by tightening the nearby tissues of the breast. However, one must understand that breast lift surgery does not increase the size of your boobs. The negative side-effects of this surgery includes:
1.    Breast asymmetry
2.    Blood clots
3.    Infection
4.    Changes in nipple or breast sensation
5.    Skin discoloration
• Breast firming products and supplements may also help. Today the market is full of pills, creams, gels, oil etc. which help to firm the breasts. These contain herbal extracts that help the cells to grow naturally.
• The benefits of massage can also be taken to give your breasts a firm look. Massage improves blood circulation and help breasts tissues to grow.
• Get a bra that fits well. Also, sports bra should be worn before any physical activity.
• Pay more attention to your diet. Food rich in Vitamin C and Omega 3 fatty acids should be consumed.

• Avoid dieting. Breasts sag when someone loses more weight in short span of time.
• Exercise daily to build muscle tone. Dumbbell press, modified pushups and butterfly press are few exercises that help in case you have sagging breasts.
• Focus on the pull up exercises as they are very effective in toning and strengthening the breast muscles.
• Uttanasana, utthita trikonasana and bhujangasana are the three very effective yoga asans for breast firming.
• Mix together 1 tbsp yogurt, 1 tbsp Vitamin E oil and an egg. Massage this mixture and let it stay for 25-30 minutes. It is a great mask for firming your breasts.
