Q. What Causes Breasts to Change Shape?
Although there are many factors that can contribute to sagging of the breasts, the aging process and the effects of gravity play a primary role in these changes. Just like facial skin, the skin around the breast loses its elasticity which causes it to become lax. In addition, the ligaments that attach the breast to the chest wall weaken and stretch in response to gravity. The breasts enlarge during pregnancy and breast feeding, which further causes the skin to stretch. As the breasts reduce in size following pregnancy, the skin that was once stretched, is now loose and sags. Lastly, fluctuations in your weight and even hormonal changes can cause your breasts to change in appearance. In combination, these factors can cause the breast to droop and sag.
