How to Lift Sagging Breasts Naturally

Overview

Sagging breasts often occur when women begin to age. They can also be caused by other factors, such as pregnancy, having large breasts and losing a lot of weight. Breasts are made of fat, connective tissue and ligaments. When the ligaments and connective tissue are over-stretched, sagging results. Although the breasts themselves cannot be built, you can do several things to strengthen the areas underneath and above the breasts to give them more lift.

Step 1

Keep your skin healthy. The skin is a vital substance that surrounds the breasts, and you want to keep it in as good of shape as possible. Eat foods that are high in vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C and B-complex vitamins, as they promote elasticity and reduce wrinkling. Some examples of these foods are citrus fruits, sunflower seeds, sweet potatoes and carrots. Also, wear sunscreen when you are going to be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time.

Step 2

Do some pushups. Pushups work the muscles under and above the breasts. To perform them, start in a plank position. This is done by lying on your stomach, placing your hands directly under your shoulders and then lifting your body up in the air until your arms are straight. Slowly lower yourself down until you are just above the floor, then push yourself back up. Make sure to keep your core muscles engaged and your body completely straight the whole time.

Step 3

Do chest flys on a weight bench with two light dumbbells. Lie on your back and hold the dumbells straight up in the air with your palms facing forward. Lower the weights to your sides until your upper arms are almost parallel to the floor, then push them back up.

Step 4

Press some dumbells on an incline. Adjust the bench to 60 degrees. Lie on it with dumbells in your hands. Hold them straight up in the air and then lower them until they are about at shoulder height, then repeat. These incline presses work on your upper chest muscles.

Step 5

Work your back muscles. Consistent chest exercises can lead to muscle imbalances and cause your shoulders to be rounded. To avoid this, do some back exercises like back rows, pullovers and lat pulldowns.

Back rows are done from a standing position with a barbell. Grab it with a shoulder-width grip, slightly bend your knees and bend forward slightly. Row the barbell up and back towards your lower chest, then lower it.

Pullovers are done on the bench. Grab a curl bar and hold it with a shoulder-width grip. Lie perpendicular on the bench, with your shoulders and back of your head on it. Lift your hips up so you are in a bench position and lift the bar straight up in the air. Now lower it straight behind you until your arms are about parallel to the floor, then pull it overhead and back to the starting point.

Lat pulldowns are done on the lat machine. Adjust the seat so your thighs are snug to the pads. Grab the bar with a wide grip, lean back slightly and pull the bar down to your chest. Keep your back straight the whole time and squeeze your shoulder blades when you pull the bar down.

Step 6

Wear a good bra. This can help to support your breasts to prevent further sagging. When you are working out, wear a good sports bra that provides firm support.
