Reasons for breast sagging
What factors cause the original full breasts to sag? Currently, in medicine, there are four known reasons:
(1) Postpartum hormonal changes causing breast atrophy.
(2) Sudden increase or decrease in weight, i.e., suddenly becoming very thin after being overweight.
(3) Excessively loose breast skin.
(4) Too large and heavy breasts, also known as macromastia. Quanzhou Huamei Plastic Surgery and Cosmetic Beauty Consulting Hotline: 0595-28266666; Appointment QQ: 800015388.
Under what circumstances is it considered breast sagging?
Real breast sagging is when the nipple leaves its original position on the chest and moves down, even moving to the original lower cleavage line or below it. According to severity, it is divided into three levels, with the most severe case being the nipple located at the bottom of the breast, presenting an inverted bag-like breast.
Types of breast sagging
(1) Classification of ptotic breasts: The classification of ptotic breasts can be based on the causes and degree of breast sagging.
Based on the causes of breast sagging, it is divided into the following three categories:
1) Breast sagging after weight loss: Mainly caused by the relaxation of fat tissue and skin in the breast after weight loss. Commonly seen in middle-aged and young women.

2) Breast sagging in the elderly: All functions of the elderly decline, including endocrine functions. In elderly breast sagging, the skin, supporting tissues, fat, and glands all significantly degenerate and shrink, hence the breast appears as a hollow sac-like sagging.
3) Breast sagging after breastfeeding: After breastfeeding stops, due to the reduction in hormone levels, the mammary alveoli, ducts, glands, and fat tissue all shrink, while the skin and supporting tissues remain relatively more, thus leading to breast sagging.
(2) Classification of ptotic breasts: The classification of ptotic breasts can be based on the relationship between the inframammary fold and the lower pole of the breast, divided into five types.
1) Normal breast: The inframammary fold and the lower pole of the breast are on the same plane.
2) Mild sagging: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by 1-2 cm.
3) Moderate sagging: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by 2-3 cm.
4) Severe sagging: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by 4-10 cm.
5) Extremely severe sagging: The lower pole of the breast exceeds the inframammary fold by more than 10 cm.
The classification of ptotic breasts can also be based on breast volume, divided into four types.
1) Normal volume breast sagging: Volume 250-350 ml.
2) Small breast sagging: Volume less than 200 ml.
3) Moderately enlarged breast sagging: Volume 600-800 ml.
4) Macromastia: Volume greater than 1500 ml.
