Do breasts have to sag?
 

Wait wait wait! I can hear the groans all over estrogen dominated GC that this is another sex post . . . but its actually a genuine question.

Why do some women regardless of the size of their breasts or their age sag, and others regardless of size or age stay perky?

Are there excercises women can do? Is it inevitable in all cases?

What is the determinant?

For example, one lady told me that if a girl doesn't wear a bra when she is younger her breasts will always start sagging, but if she wears a bra properly they should stay perky.

Is this true?

Enquring minds want to know.

Yes, I want to know. I need to know.;)

Re: Do breasts have to sag?
 

Not true. I think it's all genetics.

I think it's just genetics although developing some good chest muscles may lift the breast a little bit.

When do they start to sag?

I'm not completely sure, but one thing IS for sure, if you don't want to EXAGGERATE the effects of time and gravity, wear a bra more times than not....even if it is just a sports bra, also, you have to be sure that it is the RIGHT size....I've heard that 60% of women wear the wrong size of bra. If it's not the right size, it is NOT going to be as supportive or comftorable as it can be....also, be sure to be measured every six months!
Another thing, even if you are sagging, remember that your breasts can look AMAZING if you wear a push-up bra!!!

I think it's mainly genetics... but excercising I think can help the cause a bit...
I think also some sagging occurs after being pregnant/breast feeding.

I'd like to volunteer my services for Official GC Sag Inspector :D

First will be the pencil test.

Followed in certain instances by the textbook test. :p

I think it just depends on the size. I have friends with teeny chests who can go without a bra, but the girls with larger chests cannot (unless they are surgically enhanced!). So I guess if you get the boobs you also get the sag-gotta take the good with the bad!

one word...gravity.
eventually it happens to most.

How many kids a woman has will affect it and so will breast feeding. Working out can help deter that, but gravity is gonna happen no matter what.

ohh definately- my mom is a prime example... and thats what i have to look forward to.... great.... :p

sometimes gravity can be a good thing....like if your breasts are too perky (yes, it happens)

No. No, it doesn't. You're just bragging.

Who said I was talking about me? :p

Having a couple friends who are plastic surgeons, I guarantee you that, after a certain age, ALL breasts sag - unless they've been surgically altered. Of course, as has been said, certain factors will cause them to sag faster, and a good bra & exercise will slow the sagging.

But in the end, they all head south...

Breasts do tend to sag....earlier for some than others. My mom, for example, developed so fast that she's actually "sagged" since she was about 9 years old :eek:

I think it does depend on the size, genetics, everything already mentioned....yippee (aren't you guys jealous? ;) )

Any kind of exercise for the pectoral muscles will help, but it can't do everything.

It's just a natural part of aging. Wearing a bra will not help.

Some girl told me once that if you "stand on your head" like upside down for a period of time every day it will help correct the problem . . . Reverse gravity . . .

Possible ya think?

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: NO.

It's just natural. I don't think it's gross, anyway. Just part of being a woman.

It has a lot to do with aging, but it also has a lot to do with the size of the breasts. I mean, I'm 20 years old, but I've noticed that my rather large breasts are not quite as "perky" as they were a few years ago. (But I don't look like Grandma, I swear! :P) I think it's kind of the way that the Universe pays men (and women) back for preferring big breasts! :)

Actually, I've heard that smacking guys upside the head for a period of time every day helps.

:D

(James adds sotto voice) If its with your breasts . . .. :D

Yes, unfortunately genetics plays the biggest role here. But as a general rule, the bigger they are, the worse they are going to sag when you get older, and here's why.....boobs are made of fat. All women, regardless of the size of their boobs, have about the same amount of glandular tissue in there. The size of your breasts is determined by how much fat is deposited in there (which again is largely determined by genetics.) However, when you get pregnant, your breasts swell considerably, which is great at the time but after you have the baby and you begin making milk, all hell breaks loose. Once your baby is done leasing them and you stop producing milk, and you go back to your normal weight, you will find that the swelling goes down but the extra skin is still there.....plus breastfeeding results in a loss of fat from in there, which also leaves them a bit deflated. A lot of guys have a problem assimilating the boob/fat connection thanks to gals like our friend Pam Anderson, who is about 94 pounds soaking wet but has those gigantic inflated things on her chest. I am on the slightly more endowed end of the spectrum, but I have had two children and breastfed one for 7 months, so I am definitely looking for a good plastic surgeon.

Exercise will help...but it won't solve the problem by any means. My former roommate has perky breasts...AND YOU SHOULD SEE HER MOM! thought her mom had fake ones or something...they look great...they look better than most of the people our age with real ones. Genetics I guess.
