Let's Check Your Breast Sagging Level!

Let's Check Your Breast Sagging Level!
      The problem of Breast Ptosis (sagging breasts, drooping breasts, loss of firmness), regardless of breast size, is common. Breast ptosis is a natural occurrence due to age, hormonal changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or even genetics. Knowing your own level of ptosis can help you choose the right bra or decide on a proper care plan and consultation with a doctor for correction.

How to Assess the Level of Ptosis Yourself
      Stand up straight, relax, and observe the position of the nipple and the center of the breast mound.

• Level 1 (Normal Ptosis) : The nipple is located in the center of the breast mound.
• Level 2 (Mild Ptosis) : The breast droops slightly, and the nipple points slightly downward (about 1 cm).
• Level 3 (Moderate Ptosis) : The breast visibly sags, and the nipple points clearly downward (abou
  t 1-3 cm).
• Level 4 (Severe Ptosis) : The breast is significantly hanging and drooping (about 3 cm or more).

Factors Contributing to Ptosis

• Age : Collagen and skin elasticity decrease with age.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding : Rapid expansion and contraction of the breast tissue.
• Weight Fluctuations : Rapid weight gain or loss causes the skin to lose elasticity.
• Gravity : Not wearing appropriate supportive brassieres, especially during exercise.

      Don't worry about natural ptosis, but choose to take care of it and find a solution that makes you feel most confident in your own shape. Currently, there are many methods, including silicone breast augmentation and mastopexy (breast lift surgery).
