Sinsa Sagging Breast Surgery: Care Methods After Childbirth and Breastfeeding

Breasts that are symmetrical on both sides and have volume are also the kind of breasts many women want. However, as women age, these breasts gradually begin to sag downward. Breast tissue is more delicate than many people think, so it is greatly affected by changes in the body.

Because of this, not only aging but also the processes of childbirth and breastfeeding can cause the breasts to sag. So, is there a way to deal with breast sagging? Here, at Seojin Plastic Surgery Clinic, we briefly summarized care methods after childbirth and breastfeeding for Sinsa sagging breast surgery.

Care Methods for Sagging Breasts After Childbirth and Breastfeeding

1. Do not go on an extreme diet

A woman’s breasts are tissue made mostly of fat. Because of this, sudden changes in body weight can also affect breast elasticity. In particular, extreme dieting after childbirth can lead to even faster reduction in breast size and loss of firmness as dieting is added on top of the major changes already caused by childbirth. Rather than excessive weight loss, it is better for your health to lose weight slowly through exercise and dietary habits you can maintain consistently.

2. Maintain good posture

When breastfeeding, you often bend forward. If your upper body is hunched, the tension in the pectoralis major muscle that supports the breasts can relax, which may cause the breasts to sag. Not only while breastfeeding, but also when sitting normally, it is best to keep your spine straight and your chest open. During breastfeeding, it is recommended to keep your shoulders and chest open and maintain a 90% angle between your back and hips.

3. Supplement protein

Estrogen is an important hormone involved in menstruation, pregnancy, and secondary sexual characteristics. When female hormone secretion is active, it helps maintain breast size and shape. It is abundant in foods such as pomegranates and soybeans, and high-quality protein can also promote estrogen secretion. Examples include lean meat, chicken breast, fish, and milk.

4. Wear underwear that fits your breasts

It has sometimes been said that wearing underwear for the breasts is not good, but wearing underwear that matches your own size helps support breast shape and firmness. Underwear that is larger than your own size can easily lead to sagging, and if it is too small, it may instead compress the skin and cause it to shrink. Therefore, it is best to wear underwear that fits your breast size.

5. Proper breastfeeding posture

During breastfeeding, it is good to adjust feeding intervals to prevent the breasts from becoming too full. It is also better to alternate between both sides rather than continuing to feed from only one side. If only one side is used frequently, the breast sizes may later differ, which can lead to asymmetry.

Sagging breasts after childbirth and breastfeeding can be improved with breast surgery

If the above care methods are not enough to prevent sagging, or if you want further improvement, you may also consider improving sagging breasts after childbirth and breastfeeding through breast surgery.

Breast ptosis, where the breasts sag, can reduce a woman’s confidence and, in severe cases, may affect daily life. Breast surgery can help improve sagging breasts for these individuals and help restore confidence as a woman.

In addition to childbirth and breastfeeding, there are various other factors that cause breast sagging.

▲ Decreased breast elasticity due to aging ▲ Loss of upper breast fat ▲ Sudden dieting ▲ Sudden weight gain

If you are worried about breasts sagging due to these factors, you can finally consider breast surgery as a method for managing sagging breasts.

Conclusion

So far, we have looked at care methods for sagging breasts after childbirth and breastfeeding at Seojin Plastic Surgery Clinic in Sinsa.

Breast surgery is performed for aesthetic improvement, but because it is a major surgery, thorough preparation is necessary. The surgical method may differ depending on the degree of sagging in each individual. Depending on the surgical approach that is appropriate for each person, the incision site and the degree of scarring may also differ.

Therefore, before considering surgery, it is advisable to carefully assess your own condition first and cautiously choose a customized improvement method based on that assessment. Also, if implants are inserted, it can be difficult to notice problems occurring inside the body, so it is advisable to manage any abnormalities and symptoms through regular follow-up care.
