The change that can occur in the physical characteristics of the body is eminent. These changes can come positively and negatively in a person. For women, one inevitable change that could occur is the appearance and size of the breasts. This particular change is sagging of the breasts which can occur particularly in women with larger breasts than in those with smaller breasts. There are different factors that can cause flaccidity and at any age since the breast does not contain muscles that can be strengthened with exercise. The breasts contain fatty and connective tissue, as well as ligaments. It is the force of gravity that pulls these tissues down, causing the skin to stretch in the breast areas.

However, the extent or degree of sagging depends on the elasticity of the woman’s skin. The elasticity of the skin is determined by the genes and the diet maintained by the woman. Age is also a factor to consider in this regard.

For women who have gone through pregnancy and childbirth and eventually continue to breastfeed the baby, hormonal changes occur at this point within the breast. Sagging breasts occur due to mammary involution whereby the milk-producing mammary gland stops producing milk because the mother has chosen to wean the baby from breastfeeding. There is a contraction of the tissues internally in the breast while the skin that supports it does not. This causes the breast to become empty and, with the force of gravity pulling it downward, will cause the breast to droop.

A significant effect of weight loss in women will cause sagging breasts. Due to the loss of body fat during weight loss, a large amount of body fat is dissolved in the body, including the breasts. When fat is burned in the breast areas, this does not create a thinning of the skin and ligaments, so naturally the breasts show emptiness as the skin no longer has anything to contain. The force of gravity will pull the skin down causing the eventual sagging of the breasts.

The sure thing that can improve sagging breasts is a healthy lifestyle and a good diet that women maintain on a daily basis. Good nutrition will definitely help in maintaining good skin elasticity. It will help in maintaining good healthy skin. The foods that women consume should be rich in vitamins and minerals, as these are essential for glowing, blemish-free skin.
