5 Things You Do EveryDay That Are Causing Your Br east to Sag

1. Crash Dieting; Cycling back and forth between the same five to 10 pounds probably won’t make a dent in your set. But yo-yo dieting 30 or so lbs over and over? Definitely. Each time you gain and lose weight, chest tissue becomes more slack, kind of like old tights, says Michael Edwards, M.D., a chest surgeon and president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

2. Wearing an Unsupportive Bra: Whether it’s the boulder holder you wear during the day or the sports bra you change into at the gym, not sporting proper support is a big reason for droop. “The more your b**bs bounce around, the more stressed chest skin and collagen become,” says Edwards. Stop in a lingerie shop and ask for a fitting just to make sure you’re wearing the right bra for your shape.
3. Smoking: Even your br**sts can’t escape the damage cigarettes do. “Any amount of smoking weakens and ages skin by decreasing the blood supply to the skin surface,” says Edwards.
