A member asked:

If i wear a bra 24/7 from adolescence through old age, will it keep my breasts stay firm & perky?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Breasts are more fibrous when you are young. The older you get the more the fibers are changed over to fatty tissue. Wearing a bra will not prevent this aging process.
