Before we talk about ways to achieve firm breasts let’s talk about what causes the breast to sag in the first place.
Causes of Sagging Breasts or Loss of Firmness
Age. Yes l said it, ‘AGE’. It is an important factor that causes the breast to lose its elasticity and therefore to sag. No matter how big or small the breast is as we age the breast tends to sag. Also when a woman goes through pregnancy and she starts to breast feed or nurse a child, the skin around the breast gets looser and thus begins to show signs of aging. This is an inevitable fact and it always occurs. It is therefore an established fact that age and breastfeeding causes the breast to sag and lose its firmness.

Some diseases can also cause breast to lose shape and become saggy. Breast cancer or respiratory conditions such as tuberculosis can cause a weakening of the cells and internal organ structure, so there is very less support for the breasts, and thus, they begin to sag and fall.
Smoking, (Yes l said it), the use of nicotine ,alcohol, and carbonated beverages have all been associated with premature aging of the skin and weakening of the cellular structure, so please reduce or stop engaging in these toxic habits as they do no good but to damage organs in your body system and cause great harm to you. I can assure you that if you do stay off these habits you will see a remarkable improvement on the firmness of your breast and your overall health in general.

Different yoga styles that focus on different parts of the upper body, shoulders, pectorals, or upper arms are best for adding firmness to breasts.
Some of the best positions for strengthening the chest muscles are the Triangle Pose, the Cobra Pose, and the Standing Forward Bend. Certain yoga positions also battle the effects of gravity, which is a major component of sagging breasts. Try headstands, back-bends, and the Inverted Leg Stretch to reverse some of the negative effects of gravity on your breasts.

Posture: Bad posture is another factor that can contribute to saggy breast; therefore do not SLOUCH!!!! Sit up straight and stand up straight, always! By lowering your shoulders and hunching forward, you are not giving any structural support to your breasts, and they hang freely, completely at the mercy of gravitational forces, and you know what that does to the breast! Bad posture can also exacerbate any back pain or muscle soreness you have from large breasts, which happen to be the type of breasts that show signs of sagging the most dramatically.

Take two cubes of ice and massage it in a circle around your breast for at least a minute. Don’t do it for too long, as the skin of the breast is very sensitive. This will help tighten and tone the skin of your breasts. Cold temperatures naturally tighten up skin and slow cellular movement. This is a good technique when combined with immediately putting on a properly fitting bra and then staying in some sort of reclined position to allow the effects of the cold to sink in, thereby increasing the effects.
Vegetable Oil: Vegetable oils such as almond oil or grape seed oil can be used to massage the breasts. It will help the nourishment of the skin, toning the structure and giving extra zeal. You can also mix it with essential oils for better results. Olive is one of the best oils to use.
