Postpartum breast sagging is particularly common because the breasts enlarge during pregnancy, and after breastfeeding, the reduction of glandular tissue and fat leads to loosening of the skin and supporting tissues, resulting in sagging. For breast augmentation methods targeting sagging, here are some suggestions:

1. Exercise chest muscles: Strengthening the pectoralis major through exercises such as push-ups and dumbbell flyes can indirectly lift the breast position, making them appear firmer and more uplifted.

2. Dietary adjustments: Consume more foods rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, which help promote breast development and maintain breast health and elasticity.

3. Lifestyle modifications: Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these habits accelerate skin aging and worsen sagging.

If methods such as diet and exercise are ineffective, cosmetic medical procedures may also be considered. However, these surgical methods carry certain risks and complications and should be performed under the guidance of a qualified physician.
