Mine are turning into granny breasts. They are not as fibrous. It is sad because mine were sooo beautiful. I should have showed them to more people. I have not had children and am turning 38 this month.

Anything I can do? Excercise? Eat? Take collagen? Eat less sugar? It would be nice to hold on to what I've got.

Suzy, . . .? You hope I get what I . . .need . .? Why . . need? No one even NEEDs breasts past age 40. It is just a desire to have the great one's I had before . . .but let's tell me that I am rare in that I don't have children and still uncommonly don't have the great breasts that I used to have, . . .and then let's attribute a quality that is not correct to the something that I don't have . . . let's imply that I NEED them. Actually they are still great with a bra on. And look good head on . . .but from side are a 1/2 inch lower than I recall they used to be.

And no it is NOT worth a shot ! Maybe with your body it is worth a shot. I have NEVER taken birth control in my life . . and will not. I respect my body. I sure wouldn't do it for cosmetic reasons. Gosh talk about underhanded insults.

As you get older your skin looses its elasticity. Not wearing a bra makes them sag when you get older.

lol ...
The boobs actually don't become less firm, it's the skin and tissue that's beginning to sag a bit and yes, women with smaller breasts and fibrous tissue have a slight advantage there. As you age, the fatty tissue begins to separate from the skin and follow the path of least resistance in the southern direction. That's why people over 40 get jowls.
Short of surgery, you might do a bit of exercise to firm up the muscles underneath and those that run from the side of the breast to the upper arm. It won't solve the problem entirely, but it'll improve the appearance somewhat.

That is interesting because most of my older (late 40's) friends that are childless have the best looking breasts. There are exercises that build up the pecs underneath like the bench press , and birth control pills might do the trick. It's worth a shot. See what you think and of course there are the serious side effects to consider.Good luck and I hope you get what you need.

Can also be due to the loss of fat cells (adipose tissue) in the breast as age advances.

Things just aren't the same when you age.
