Very often, women after childbirth and lactation are faced with the problem of deformation of the skin in the chest area and, as a result, sagging breasts. This problem comprehends not only nursing mothers, but also just girls who were reckless to lose weight dramatically, while not observing any physical activity complexes for the pectoral muscles. As a result, all the injured ladies have a logical question: how to tighten sagging breasts?
Causes of Breast Loss
What to do if the chest sagged? First you need to determine the cause of the changes. Why does the breast tend to deform? What factors influence such processes of loss of its original form?
- Pregnancy - during the global restructuring and the course of various physiological processes in the body of a pregnant woman, a mammary gland is reformed with all the ensuing consequences in the form of a massive increase and change in the shape of the breast.
- Lactation period - during the arrival of milk and breastfeeding, the latter increases by one or two sizes, as a result of which the skin is stretched and skin elasticity is lost.
- Sudden weight loss - sudden changes associated with weight gain and weight loss do not affect the elasticity of the skin tissue of the chest in the best way.
- An excessively large bust - the voluminous mammary glands pull their breasts down with their mass, providing, in addition to the most powerful load on the spine, also an excessive burden for the skin of the chest.
- Changes associated with age - nothing lasts forever, all processes in the body are directly dependent on age. Skin distortions on the chest that occur over the years are a direct confirmation of this.
Methods for eliminating skin deformities of the breast
How to tighten the breast, if for some reason she lost her former shape? There are several ways to solve this problem plan:
- surgical intervention with the use of skin grafting and tightening;
- implant implantation;
- work on increasing skin elasticity and a set of lean muscle mass by natural methods.
Not every woman can afford surgery. Fortunately, there are a lot of methods and recommendations of nutritionists and fitness instructors on how to tighten sagging breasts of girls without the help of cardinal surgical medicine.
Proper nutrition
It is easy to guess that all weight problems are related to nutrition. And if for some reason a girl's breasts sagged, she should first of all pay attention to what she eats. It should be noted that high-carb products and overweight can, of course, contribute to the deposition of fatty layers in the bust area, but this will not give the breast either a beautiful shape, or the necessary elasticity, or aesthetic beauty.
The use of foods such as chicken breast, hazelnut, dairy and sour milk products, as well as vegetable oils in your daily diet will help keep your breast mass in good shape. In this case, you should refrain from drinking alcohol, excessive use of coffee and soda, or liquids with dyes.
Breast Massages
Few people attach importance to massage procedures, but this is completely in vain. Massage has a healing property in use on any part of the body, including the chest. If a small breast sagged or deformations of a large bust occurred, correctly selected massage techniques for influencing a given segment of a woman's body can contribute to its quick recovery. In combination with diets and physical activity, the result will not be long in coming. It is important to perform massage movements progressively, gently and accurately. You can use cosmetics in the form of creams and oils, carefully treating the skin around the areola with your fingertips.
Contrast treatments in the shower
An equally effective process for “resuscitation” of a problematic female area of the body is the adoption of a contrast shower. If a woman has a sagging breast, she can use the help of hot and cold streams of water directed to the decollete zone, alternately changing their temperature regime. Regular work on douches and the contrast of temperature changes in the shower helps stimulate active blood circulation and the correct flow and outflow of blood to the problem area of the female body. These actions help to increase the elasticity of the skin and give it elasticity, which visually cannot but affect the appearance of the breast in a positive way.
Cosmetics
There are also special cosmetics to increase the elasticity of the bust. They contain special components that contribute to the densification and lifting of the skin of the mammary glands, normalize the metabolic processes occurring in it, moisturize and prevent the aging of epidermal tissues.
Choosing the right underwear
A lot depends on the right bra. Often, women who become mothers observe how their breasts sagged after childbirth. And it is not in vain that entire collections of underwear for pregnant women with bandage inserts, for nursing mothers with wide straps and tight spinal supports that support the spine, as well as for women who became mothers after childbirth with dragging tissues and breast-lifting elements of natural bodice material, have been developed. To neglect the correct linen in this case is rather silly.
Exercise: push ups to restore breast shape
When asked about how to tighten sagging breasts at home, a simple but incredibly effective exercise in the form of push-ups is best answered. It is useful not only for the bust itself, but also for strengthening the entire chest body, arm muscles, abdominal muscles, and even legs, since several muscle sections are involved during the exercise.
Push-ups can be performed both from the wall and from the floor. The first option is easier because it involves positioning in a slightly inclined position, resting on the wall with hands shoulder width apart and legs spread apart at the same distance from each other in the position on the toes. Three approaches, ten times to start, perfectly stimulate the muscle tissue of the chest and begin the process of preparing to model the updated form of the chest, which sagged.
The second option is given to women a little more difficult, especially if earlier push-ups did not occur at all in a woman's life. The legs brought together should still be in the position on the toes, the hands in front of the chest are slightly wider than the width of the shoulders, the body is absolutely flat, the legs do not bend at the knees, the buttocks do not puff up. The position of the body should resemble a stretched string. Only in this form will push-ups work on the chest, and not on meaningless falling to the floor and returning to the starting position. Therefore, it is very important to observe the correct technique for performing this exercise.
Work with dumbbells to strengthen chest muscles
Perfectly complement the set of exercises for push-up classes with dumbbells. If there are no dumbbells at home or there is no way to purchase them, you can use other weighted objects of a similar shape or replace them with bottles with heavy filling, such as sand.
Exercise 1 involves the adoption of emphasis lying on your back with legs bent at the knees and arms extended forward with weighting. On the count of “times”, the arms are bent at the elbows, sinking to the chest, on the count of “two,” they return to their original position. At the same time, the muscles of the breast come into action and subcutaneous fat is burned in the area of the mammary glands.
Exercise 2 provides an emphasis lying on your back at an angle with the spread of arms to the sides. In this case, of course, dumbbells (weighting materials) are still in the hands. In the initial position, the arms are raised high in front of the chest, at the expense of "one" they are spread apart, at the expense of "two" - they return to their original position. Three approaches ten times is a good start for working with the pectoral muscles.
Palm press
Another wonderful trick in working with saggy breasts is a simple physical exercise that does not require any sports equipment, so it is ideally applicable at home. The essence of the lesson is to perform several approaches, ten to fifteen times collected in a reminiscent of the prayer position of the hands. Arranged on shoulder width apart, even body, closed hands in front of the chest in the starting position imply the involvement of the chest muscles by periodically squeezing the palms in their intense confrontation with each other. On the count of “times”, the palms of the hands are tightly compressed, and tension is felt in the area of the axillary and lower thoracic region, on the count of “two” palms, the tension is relaxed, and the chest ceases to strain.
Thus, a few very simple physical exercises that are quite feasible at home, as well as following the accompanying procedures in the form of massage, proper nutrition, and the use of proper underwear, will immediately help any woman who has her breasts drooping, improve her position and restore her beautiful shape.
