Postpartum breast sagging is a common issue faced by many new mothers. It primarily occurs due to the expansion of breast tissue during pregnancy, combined with repeated filling and emptying of the mammary glands during breastfeeding, along with hormonal changes, all of which can damage the supportive breast tissues and lead to sagging.
To address breast sagging, postpartum women can wear well-supportive bras, especially those with wider shoulder straps and underband designs, to reduce breast movement and the resulting strain on the suspensory ligaments. Regular breast massage may also help improve blood circulation and enhance the firmness of muscles around the breasts, though gentle techniques should be used to avoid excessive stretching. Additionally, consuming protein-rich foods, maintaining a healthy sleep schedule, and avoiding prolonged pressure on one side of the chest can help reduce the risk of breast sagging.
