Sagging breasts

Introduction The sagging of the chest is what we call the sagging breast. The intersection of the lower edge of the breast and the surface of the torso is called the under-recession of the breast. Under reasonable circumstances, especially for young women, the horizontal position of the nipple is above the fold of the breast, and if it falls below it is the so-called sagging breast. The more severe the sag, the lower it falls. The sagging of the breast hinders the curvaceous beauty of the female body. What is more serious is that it causes a feeling of inferiority and affects people's mental health. Some people have severe sag on one or both sides, resulting in inconvenience, neck and shoulder discomfort, erosion of the breasts on both sides, or eczema, so it must be corrected. There are various forms of sagging breasts. It is not only necessary to regard the degree of sagging breasts. It should also take into account the small and sagging breasts in proportion to the chest. There is no clinical manifestation, but it can directly or indirectly affect the contours of the body.

Cause

1, breastfeeding caused by sagging breasts: generally after the breastfeeding stopped, because of the reduction of hormone levels, the mammary duct, gland and adipose tissue will shrink, but the skin and supporting tissue are more, so it will cause the breast to sag.

2, weight loss caused by sagging breast: is the speed of weight loss is too fast, resulting in breast fat tissue and skin relaxation. More common in young and middle-aged women.

3, the elderly breast drooping: after the person gets old, all kinds of functions have decreased, and the endocrine function also decreased. The sagging of the breasts of the elderly is caused by the obvious deterioration and atrophy of the skin, supporting tissues, fat and glands, so the breasts show empty cystic drooping. Women's breast sagging is considered to be the reason for breastfeeding the baby. The breast below is the symbol of breastfeeding. However, this situation is the story of the Japanese before eating sour plums and porridge. From a physiological point of view, if you eat sour plum, porridge or kimchi porridge, it will cause sagging breasts and, unfortunately, the changes in the mother are not only sagging breasts, but also other effects. Even the eyelids, cheeks, cheeks and upper arms or the abdomen, feet and other muscles will have the same phenomenon as sagging breasts. Japanese women, the more children give birth, the more wrinkles and muscle relaxation will occur. This tendency will increase, but it is also closely related to the food after childbirth.

According to the degree of sagging breast, it can be divided into three degrees: I degree: sagging breast, nipple and breast reflex line parallel. II degree: The position of the nipple is lower than the fold line of the skin under the breast, but higher than the lowest position of the breast. III degree: The nipple is located at the lowest position of the breast, but some breasts are drooping, especially those with distal breast hypertrophy. Although the ptosis is more serious, the nipple position is still not at the lowest point of the breast, and this should also be regarded as a III degree sag.

There are three types of appearances of sagging breasts, sagging breast-shaped breasts, sagging breast-shaped breasts, and sagging breasts. The spindle-shaped breast sagging is a sagging of the breast characterized by a shortening of the transverse diameter of the base of the breast. The circular coronal plane at the base of the breast is smaller than the coronal plane at the distal end of the breast, which resembles a spindle, hence the name of the spindle-shaped breast. This type of sagging breast deformity is caused by the fall of the breast tissue to the subcutaneous area of the areola, often combined with the large areola syndrome. More common in young and middle-aged women after breastfeeding.

The triangle-shaped breast sagging system is flat in the whole breast, like a triangle towel hanging on the chest wall, hence the name. The coronal plane of the base of the breast is oblong, the longitudinal diameter of the breast is larger than the transverse diameter, and there is no obvious breast tissue falling down to the subcutaneous area of the areola. More common in middle-aged and older women, especially postmenopausal women. The basal coronal plane and the distal coronal plane of the horny breast are nearly equal, or the distal end is slightly smaller, the breast has a longer longitudinal diameter, and the nipple is located in the lower line of the breast. The appearance is like a horn, and the fiber and adipose tissue in the breast are relatively increased. Less tissue, denser breasts, better skin elasticity, such breast sagging is more common in young women.

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of chest sagging:

1, drooping breasts: drooping breasts: markedly drooping, upper flat, fat hyperplasia, breast skin relaxation. Drooping breast is a clinical manifestation of breast hypertrophy in adult women.

2, postpartum chest drooping: breast sagging caused by poor recovery after breast secondary development during breastfeeding, the most common in clinical.
