Better Breasts through Exercise? Let’s Talk!

November 30, 2016/in Blog, Breast Lift /by Regina Rosenthal MD

Breast Lift (Mastopexy)Any woman who is struggling with sagging, drooping breasts can tell you: it’s no fun. The shape and slope of a woman’s breasts may be even more crucial than size when it comes to overall satisfaction. Breasts that sag are no longer youthful in appearance, and they may affect a woman’s preference in clothing, as well as her sense of confidence during times of undress. Fortunately, there are several sites that tell women just how easy it can be to resolve this issue of sagging. To lift the breasts, they say, all you need to do is tighten the pectoral muscles!

Digging for Truth

Of course, there are many benefits to muscle strengthening exercises. The more active our muscles, and the more muscle-mass we have versus fat-mass, the better we are at burning fat at rest. The body that is more toned is a body shape that is more streamlined, in many cases. However, there are limitations. To state otherwise could lead a person down a long and frustrating path. Let’s look at anatomy, and how the idea that toned muscles lift breasts falls flat.

Think of your stomach muscles. If you want washboard abs, you could perform hundreds of crunches or other ab exercises on a routine basis. IF there is not excess fat that sits on top of your abdominal muscles, that six-pack could be revealed relatively quickly. Extra fat over the abdominal muscles, however, will hide what’s going on beneath. If this makes sense to you, then you are already seeing the myth in the idea that muscle toning can lift the breasts.

Breasts are made up of glandular tissue and fat. There are a number of reasons why a woman’s breasts may grow larger throughout her life. Pregnancy, weight gain, and breastfeeding are the most common. In many cases, the enlargement is only temporary. It can be enough, though, to cause skin to pull and stretch. At some point, the breasts tend to deflate. Volume is lost either as fat cells shrink or “just because,” just like volume is lost on the face. Because the muscles underneath have no supportive role in where breast tissue lands on the chest wall, exercise has very little effect on sagging.
