Question 1

what causes sagging breasts? i'm 18

Accepted Answer

Size and Gravity: The best thing you can do is wear a bra, exercise and enjoy your life.  Gravity controls all of us here in earth, as well as our bodies.  Unless you are interested in breast augmentation, your breasts will "sag" over time, lesser degrees for some, greater degrees for others.  It will take some time though, years not months.

Question 2

Surgery or support: If the size is large, a breast reduction might help. Breast lifting helps if they are not too large.

See a board certified plastic surgeon for more details.

Question 10

sagging breasts after baby; how to make them firm again?

Accepted Answer

Support and time: To a large degree this depends on your genetics which will determine your skin elasticity and ligamentous structures supporting the breast (cooper's ligaments). Duration and degree of engorgement during lactation may also have an effect. Once you have completed nursing, good supportive/compressive garments and time will determine the ultimate appearance of your breasts. Give this at least 4 months.
