Regarding the issue of postpartum breast sagging, the following are some recommendations:

1. Wear a proper bra: Choose a bra with good support, especially during lactation, which can reduce the risk of breast sagging.

2. Breast massage: Appropriate breast massage can promote blood circulation and increase skin elasticity. It is recommended to perform it morning and evening daily, each session lasting 5-10 minutes.

3. Healthy diet: Consuming foods rich in protein, vitamin C, and vitamin E helps repair and maintain skin elasticity.

4. Surgical correction if necessary: If breast sagging is particularly severe and cannot be improved through the above methods, surgical correction may be considered under a doctor's advice.
