why do ur boobs sag after the age of 50?

Answer 1

Your boobs sag for the same reason everything else sags: Your body is no longer making collagen and other connective tissue at the high rate of your youth. Connective tissue is the mortar that holds everything together...when it dies at a faster rate than it rebuilds everything gets saggy...:-) As we age our cells divide at a slower rate....this is the reason for many age-related "issues."

Answer 2

50? Better subtract some years from that. Most breasts are sagging way before that. Unless you have some good genes, always wore the best bras and are totally in shape. All those together, not one or the other.......LOL

Answer 3

mine sag at the age of 22 but thats after having a baby and breastfeeding

Answer 4

Because you have not suported them propperly and have done damage to the conective tissue inside of them that keep them firm.


This is what almost all of the women in my family do, (we are all pretty busty) and my aunts have stayed remarkably perky into their 50’s

FIRST – wear a properly fitting, well sized, supportive bra. This should be something that holds the girls up, and keeps them supported. Your everyday bras should be under wire, full coverage, and comfy. If your bras lack any of those characteristics – they are the wrong size / wrong bra for you. If your under wires poke you, you are wearing the wrong size. Go and have a bra fitting done for you. If you go to a Leggs Hanes Bali store the sales girls (and guys) are trained to fit your bra properly. I like Bali bras – but sometimes they are a bit lack luster in the fashion department, so I also wear a lot of VS Second Skin Satin bras – they fit me well, provide sufficient support for me (though more would be fine) and come in a huge variety of colors. I HATE Playtex bras. They are ugly, and they SMELL. Avoid them at all costs.

Never wear a soft cup bra for regular daily wear. There is simply not enough support to risk it. Besides, with a properly fit under wire bra, a good supportive under wire is at least as comfy as any soft cup.

Special occasions are special occasions, and require special bras – avoid going braless however – unless that is the occasion.

Second – When doing ANY type of exercise – including things like gardening – or anything else that may cause extra bouncing, wear a good, strong sports bra, something that is capable of holding the girls in and controlling all of the bounce. One of my aunts has been known to wear two sports bras on occasion. An even better solution is to not do any sort of bounce inducing exercise and confine your work-out to the pool. The water prevents you from doing any damage to your breasts (or joints) and provides excellent all over toning and cardio work out all in one.

Third – and this is the real secret – and it is the critical step. Wear a bra to bed. Sleep in a bra every night. This does not need to be a firm support under wire contraption, and it does not need to be uncomfortable at all. In fact – it should be comfortable. No one does a lot of bouncing when they sleep, so all this bra is doing is keeping the girls in place – it does not need to be firm support. These bras are a bit harder to find, but they are worth the effort, and worth what you have to pay. Try to find “leisure” bras, or “sleeping” bras. If you google them you will find something. They are a MUST if you want to remain perky for as long as possible – and well worth any trouble you may have to go through to find them.

Answer 5

Gravity

Answer 6

For the same reasons your face and other skin parts sag and become wrinkly. The youthful tightness of your skin gives way and no longger suports your boobs

Answer 7

Breasts will begin to sag over time due to gravity and also due to changes in the skin's elasticity. Younger skin is thicker and tends to have more elastic qualities. But as we age, our skin begins to thin and looses it's elastic values.

Answer 8

youre kinda lucky mines have been sagging for a while now and iam only 32.. the cause of this is because the tissue in your breasts stretch..

Answer 9

50? Mine started ages before that. It's called GRAVITY.

Answer 10
