Could Running a Lot Cause Breast Sagging?!

Hello! This is BongBong Plastic Surgery, always here to help enhance everyone’s beauty.

These days, you can see so many people doing “running” as exercise on TV programs and YouTube. They are often called runners! The refreshment you feel while running and the lightness after exercising are probably some of running’s advantages.

However, women need to be careful when running! The reason is that it can be a cause of breast sagging.

If the breasts shake too much while running, the tissue called Cooper’s ligament can be damaged.

The breasts are made up of glandular tissue and fat. Cooper’s ligaments are ligaments within the glandular tissue and fat of the breasts, connecting the breast skin to the inner muscles and helping maintain a firm breast shape.

It is normal for these Cooper’s ligaments to naturally stretch with aging, leading to reduced breast elasticity. However, they can also be damaged by physical impact through running.

This may also act as a cause of breast sagging, so it is something to keep in mind.

Then does that mean women should not run for exercise? Some of you may be thinking that.

No. When exercising, it is best to wear a sports bra that fully covers the upper and lower parts of the breasts so they do not shake while running.

Not only running, but if the breasts repeatedly shake during intense exercise, there is a risk of tearing Cooper’s ligaments, so caution is advised.

What should be done if breast sagging has already become severe?

Depending on the degree of breast sagging, there are appropriate plastic surgery options such as breast augmentation and breast lift surgery. It is important to clearly understand the condition of the breasts and establish a surgical plan accordingly.

In general, breast augmentation is performed by inserting implants, but a breast lift can also restore firmness and lift sagging breasts.

Breast lift surgery is similar in principle to a facelift. It lifts and secures the sagging breasts, nipples, and areolas together into a normal position, but because the breast area is larger than the face, it is considered more technically demanding.

Therefore, if you are considering breast surgery because of breast sagging, it is important to carefully check whether the medical staff has extensive clinical experience, whether they make diagnoses through clear examinations, and whether they have a well-established surgical safety system before making your decision.
