Breast Uplift (Mastopexy) | Health

Droopiness of the breast is a common legacy of motherhood, nursing and the force of gravity taking their toll, and the effect of pregnancy and a distension of the breasts with milk causes the fibrous bands which support the breasts in their youthful shape to break down and the skin to stretch.

So too does the ageing process, which is why women dislike the appearance of their droopy breasts.
