Breast ptosis (sagging) is a common phenomenon, particularly influenced by factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding, aging, and weight fluctuations. To address breast ptosis, appropriate methods should be selected based on the severity of ptosis and individual circumstances.

1. Choose suitable bras: Wearing properly fitting bras can provide good support for the breasts and help slow the progression of ptosis. It is recommended to choose bras with underwire, wide and elastic shoulder straps, and avoid bras that are too tight or too loose.

2. Engage in appropriate exercise: Perform targeted chest exercises such as push-ups, dumbbell presses, chest expansion exercises, and yoga. These activities can help strengthen the pectoral muscles, lift breast position, and improve ptosis symptoms.

3. Maintain a healthy diet: A balanced diet helps maintain a healthy weight and prevents breast ptosis caused by weight fluctuations.
