Breast sagging is also known medically as ptosis. Now ptosis is classified into mild, moderate and severe according to the position of the nipple. Thus, if the nipple is slightly lower than normal, it is mild, while it is severe, it the position of the nipple is very far down its normal expected position.

As we shed or gain pounds and inches, or go through pregnancy, we can lose collagen and elastin fibrous production. This decreases the tissues ability to "rebound" and return to its' normal shape and tone - essentially acting like a door spring that has been stretched too far - unable to regain its original shape and tension.

Massage is also very good as it helps in toning the muscles. The right or rather an effective way to massage is to use fenugreek extract with borage and olive oil. Follow it with 30 minutes of heat and this should do the trick. Never forget that consistency in application cannot be over emphasized.

The implants themselves help to push the mammary glands and pectoral muscles upwards giving the breast a fuller look and therefore limiting some visible sagging.

With a saggy breast, a frequent question is how about a breast lift alone? Maybe I don't need a breast implant at all. While a lift does reshape the breast and position the nipple and mound higher up on the chest wall, it will not make the breast look any larger. This is particularly true in the critical upper pole of the breast which is how most women see and judge their breasts.

To determine if you have a truly ptotic breast you would need to get the recommendations of a board certified cosmetic surgeon. Through a physical exam and measurements, the surgeon could then give you accurate information in regards to your own unique situation. Another way to get an idea if you are in doubt, is to look at your breasts from the front and side.

The breast is composed of fat, glands and connective tissue. The breast is supported by the pectoral muscles, a large muscle mass that fans across the chest from the center of your rib cage to your shoulder.

It is always important to note that not all women are able to feed naturally. Many who have had augmentation operations may be more likely to decide that surgery is the cause. However, that fact has not been scientifically proven. It is a proven fact that some women simply are not able to feed naturally.

Women who have undergone a pregnancy and childbirth also may have sagging breasts. During pregnancy, the size of most women’s breasts increases. Due to the extra weight in the breasts, the sag could develop. This also happens when the woman feeds her baby after the birth.

The anatomy of the breast is a surprise to many women. Well, more specifically the anatomy of how the breasts attach to the chest wall. Most intersections of body parts are a combination of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. The breasts obviously don't have bones, but they also don't have muscles and tendons attaching them to your chest walls.
