Exercising can help develop the pectoral muscles, which theoretically may play a certain role in improving breast sagging.

For women who want to improve breast sagging, regularly performing strength training targeting the pectoral muscles can provide better support for the breasts. However, overtraining should be avoided to prevent muscle strains or other injuries. Additionally, maintaining healthy eating habits and a proper weight, as well as avoiding rapid weight changes that may affect skin elasticity, are also important.
