“Breasts are very important for women. Their clothes just don't hang right without them.-  Jennifer Crusie. 
Reasons for Sagging Breasts
Surprisingly, one of the key factors is cigarette smoking. There is a protein called elastic in our skin which is responsible for its elasticity and smoking breaks down this protein.  Pregnancy is another cause of sagging breasts and the effects are more pronounced after multiple pregnancies. Other factors that cause sagging breasts such as menopause, rapid weight loss or gain, strenuous exercise, nutritional deficiencies & wearing a poorly fitting bra.
 Lack of water takes a toll on the skin, and can make the skin over the breast look shrunken and dull. When there is less water in the body the skin doesn’t receive the requisite amount and might look flaky, dry and get wrinkled. This could lead to premature aging of the skin around the breasts making it lose firmness and thus sag.
Women with a bad posture have tendency of sagging breast or drooping breast.

Symptoms of Sagging Breasts
At mid-30s, a woman’s breasts start to lose fatty tissue resulting in a reduction of size and fullness.  The ligaments and connective tissue in a woman’s breasts gives shape to her breasts and requires estrogen to remain elastic. As a woman ages, the amount of estrogen her body produces decreases and this has a negative effect on the elasticity of her skin and results in sagging breasts.

Lifting weights can also strengthen pectoral muscles, including curls, chest presses, dumbbell flyers and many other variations can be tried.
