But your sleeping position at night might impact how perky your bust looks by day. It can be tough to control how you sleep – since you’re asleep at the time. Some people have indicated that sleep can affect breast aesthetics. In addition to your posture, a well-fitting bra, with ample support can also help prevent gravity from pulling down on your skin and causing it to lose its elasticity. So stand straight, sit tall, and try to do some releasing, chest opening stretches daily to help keep your breasts up where they should be. Regularly sitting or standing with poor posture means gravity is pulling the breasts further downward and stretching the tissue and elastin fibers in the breasts. If you spend a lot of time hunched forward, it can take a toll on your neck, back, shoulders and, yes, even your breasts. Your mom was right when she told you to, “Sit up straight!” If you need another reason to put your cell phone down and take a break from the computer, perky breasts are that reason. Obviously this one is easier said than done for a lot of people, but by adhering to a healthy diet and limiting the fatty foods that you eat, you can help reduce how often the skin on your breasts stretches and constricts. The breasts are often the first place you gain or lose fat, and when it happens over and over, it wears down the elastin proteins in the breast and causes them to be permanently stretched. Avoid Yo-Yo Dieting or Gaining/Losing Weightīreast tissue is mainly fat, so when you lose and gain weight repeatedly, the fat cells within the breasts expand and then shrink. It can cause the elasticity in your skin to fail and your breasts to stretch and sag even more as you continue to smoke and age. The continued smoking can only make things worse. The best time to quit smoking is right now even if you think the damage has already been done. If you’ve been smoking for a long time you can still prevent future damage to your skin, as well as your breasts, and lungs. It also affects the breast skin the same way it does in any other area – by drying it out and creating wrinkles.
Smoking breaks down the proteins in breast tissue that gives breasts their firmness. A small study found that more women who sought breast lifts had sagging breasts from smoking than from breastfeeding. There’s a long list of reasons to stop smoking, and you can add “causes droopy breasts” to the top of it. Let’s take a look at five surprising everyday habits that can cause your boobs to sag. Sagging breasts are just one of those things that most women will have to deal with as they get older, but thankfully there are some things you can do to help limit the effects. Because of this breast augmentation and breast lifts have become extremely popular over the years among women as they get older or after they have children. One of the biggest complaints we hear from women time-after-time is that they don’t like they way their sagging breasts look.
These things won’t totally prevent sagging boobs, but these are things that we can control, whereas the other outside forces working against your breasts are out of your control. While we would all love it if boobs didn’t adhere to the rules of gravity or succumb to the effects of aging, there are some things that you can avoid that could help prevent your boobs from sagging in the future. But these uncontrollable life forces aren’t all that can cause your boobs to sag. Midler said she put a pencil under her boob, a pen, a typewriter … well, you get the gist.Īt least me and my boobs are in good company.Breast feeding, age, genetics – they may all play a role in your breasts sagging a little lower than you’d like. I am reminded of my first Bette Midler concert – when she talked about the under the boob pencil test to see if you needed to wear a bra or not – in case you are not familiar, the rule was if the pencil fell, you didn’t need a bra. So on with the tit sling, the over-the-shoulder-boulder-holder. I had to admit I simply have fat saggy boobies. Pearly white skin with blue veins and firm! Not perky – I don’t think ginormous boobs can do perky – at least not the ones you grow yourself (as opposed to those the doctor gives you) – but firm and proud. They were spectacular (and for all I know they still are, although this was many years ago). And since we’re both in the theater where disrobing in front of each other is a common practice, I got to see her boobies without benefit of undergarment. I blamed they sagginess of my boobies on their size, until I met my friend, K. Something I regret bitterly.īut what you going to do? It is what it is and they are what they are. Sad to say, I have always had big old saggy fat lady boobies – even as a sweet young thing (as the picture above will attest). However, not wearing a bra is going to be uncomfortable for me (and probably others, but fuck them).
