Introduction
Generally speaking, the chest refers to the thoracic region. Breast sagging and outward expansion may be caused by factors such as genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or wearing ill-fitting bras. In daily life, one can perform breast massage; do chest-strengthening exercises such as push-ups and dumbbell flys; and consume foods rich in collagen, such as chicken feet, pig trotters, and papaya.
In general, "chest" refers to the thoracic region. Breast ptosis (sagging) and lateral displacement (spreading outward) may result from various factors such as genetics, aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy and breastfeeding, or wearing ill-fitting bras. In daily life, one can perform breast massage; do chest-expanding exercises such as push-ups and dumbbell flys; consume foods rich in collagen, such as chicken feet, pig trotters, and papaya; and avoid extreme dieting or rapid weight loss. Additionally, aesthetic medical procedures such as autologous fat grafting, mastopexy (breast lift), circumareolar mastopexy (doughnut mastopexy), and artificial ligament breast lifting can also help improve the condition.
