Some people think that pressing or sucking will make a woman's breasts sag

Some also think that a person's body count is shown by breast sagging

I saw old people(Agbayas) bodyshaming a lady today saying "Olympus has fallen" disgracing their ancestors

I'll try to explain

Breasts contain mainly fat, glands that produce milk, and Cooper ligaments

It is commonly thought that these ligaments is what give support to these breasts making them firm and supple and giving them their shape

However, with age, these ligaments become lax and breasts fall

There are major things that make would make a woman's breasts sag

1. Cigarette smoking(Shisha): Smoking breaks down elastin in the skin which can invariably cause breasts to fall

2. The more pregnancies a woman has, the more chances that her breasts are going to fall.

3. Large breasts: it is common sense that large structures need more support, the larger your breasts are the more support they would need.

So naturally, they would sag because of their weight

4. Gravity: Gravity plays a large role.

5. Higher body mass index: remember that breasts are largely composed of fat>more BMI, more fat>more weight >sag

6.Significant weight gain or loss(23 kg) If you lose a lot of weight too soon, without giving your body time to adjust, breasts may sag because you have extra skin

Age: as a woman gets older the ligaments weaken, hence, breasts will sag.
Breast feeding will NOT make your breast fall!

Also, there is no evidence that wearing A bra will affect the sagging of your breasts.

A BRA WILL ONLY CHANGE THE SHAPE OF YOUR BREAST WHEN IT IS WORN.

For a more permanent if you're uncomfortable with the way they look, you can get a breast lift, it might go a long way to help.

I've seen people go for breast reduction surgeries because of large breasts and the issues that come with it.

Stop body shaming people.
