For breast sagging caused by aging, the following measures can help improve the condition:
1. Improve lifestyle habits: Maintain good posture by standing and sitting up straight with your chest out and head up. Try to sleep on your back and avoid long-term slouching or sleeping on your stomach.
2. Perform chest exercises: Strengthening the pectoral muscles through exercise can help lift the breasts and reduce sagging.
3. Adjust your diet: Consuming foods rich in collagen and vitamin E can help supply necessary nutrients and improve skin elasticity. At the same time, maintain a balanced diet and avoid extreme dieting or overeating.
4. Wear appropriate undergarments: Choose bras with good support to effectively prevent breasts from sagging due to gravity. You may also consider wearing sleep bras at night to reduce the effects of gravity on the breasts.
If breast sagging is very severe, you may consider surgery to lift the breasts under a doctor's recommendation.
