Despite a never ending stream of hype and unrealistic media portrayals of women with breasts that “naturally” stand to attention (via a little help from plastic surgery, that is), the fact is sagging breasts are quite natural.
Sadly, we live in a culture where women feel shame at having breasts that are anything less than perfect. Yet, the breast was never designed by nature to remain perky throughout a woman’s lifespan.
Why the breast is shaped the way it is
A woman’s breast is made up of milk ducts, glands and fatty tissue. Pectoral muscles are located under the breast mass. Various combinations such as pregnancy, breast feeding, weight loss or gain, age and the effects of gravity itself are all determining factors in the shape of our breasts.
What can we do about it?
Relax and get wise to the face that for most women past teenage years, having perky breasts is a media-created illusion. Celebrate what you have and let go of unrealistic expectations. Go to the gym or swimming pool change room and notice the range of breast sizes and shapes. Recondition your expectations and you will start to appreciate your breasts just the way they are.
Remember, every woman’s breasts are as individual as they themselves are. The sooner a woman ceases to evaluate herself based on the size and shape of her breasts, the happier she will be.
