How to Prevent Sagging Breasts
Generally, breasts can be prevented from sagging by choosing suitable undergarments, increasing physical exercise, maintaining good posture, radiofrequency skin tightening, mastopexy, and other methods.
1. Choose Suitable Undergarments
Proper undergarments provide good support for the breasts. Underwear should be selected according to breast size and shape, ensuring that the cup fully covers the breasts, the underwire fits the breast contour, and the shoulder straps are of moderate width and elastic enough to help distribute the breast weight. During exercise, a sports bra should be worn to effectively reduce breast movement and shaking.
2. Increase Physical Exercise
Exercising chest muscles can better support the breasts and slow down sagging. Exercises such as push-ups can effectively work the pectoralis major muscle. If standard push-ups are difficult, one can start with kneeling push-ups. Dumbbell fly exercises are also helpful: lie flat on a workout bench, hold dumbbells in both hands, open them to the sides, and then bring them together repeatedly. These exercises strengthen the pectoral muscles and improve breast firmness.
3. Maintain Good Posture
Whether standing or sitting, keep the spine straight and shoulders pulled back, avoiding a hunched posture. Slouching keeps the chest muscles in a relaxed state for long periods, accelerating breast sagging. Simple posture training exercises can help correct this, such as standing with the back against a wall, keeping the head, shoulders, hips, and heels touching the wall, and maintaining this position for several minutes daily to develop the habit of standing tall.
4. Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Radiofrequency skin tightening technology uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen regeneration in the breast skin, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness, thereby improving the appearance of breast sagging. The general reference price for radiofrequency skin tightening is 1,500–6,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 1–3 months. After treatment, the skin may experience slight redness and swelling, which quickly subsides.
5. Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Mastopexy involves removing excess skin tissue and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher position while tightening the breast tissue, achieving a breast-lifting effect. The general reference price for mastopexy is 40,000–80,000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen within 3–6 months. Possible postoperative risks include infection and hypertrophic scarring.
It is recommended to maintain a healthy diet and regular lifestyle. Women can also gently massage their breasts to improve blood circulation, which is beneficial for overall health.
