Sagging
is a condition, which in medical terminology is called as Ptosis. This
is said to happen when the nipple sinks below the normal position.
Sometimes the whole breast sinks below its normal location. There are
various grades to how much it has sagged and treatment can vary
accordingly.
Cause? Although this condition is
prominently associated with aging, it also happens after loss of weight
and pregnancy. This condition mainly affects those who have normal to
large sized breasts. It is rarely seen in those who have small breasts.
As we age, the ligaments holding the breasts become loose, the gravity
acts on the tissues and make it sink.
Also, when the breast volume becomes smaller after pregnancy or weight
loss, the tissue envelope becomes large and gravity makes the breasts
sink.
Prevention
is always better and consists of using a firm supportive bra throughout
ones youth. Good moisturisation of the skin and spa therapies using
specially medicated oils can retain the elasticity of ligaments. We
offer such therapies in Aesthetics Medispa.
However,
once the condition is established, only surgical breast lift can help
in correcting or improving the position of the nipple of breast. Please
read link on breast lift for further information.
