Problem

Sagging breasts

Other Names:
Unsupported breasts
Drooping bosoms
Nature:

Daily activity, and especially strenuous exercise, can irreversibly stretch the ligament that supports the breasts. Gradual stretching also happens as a result of gravity and the redistribution and loss of fat that occurs with ageing and dieting.

Incidence:

£400 million-worth of bras were sold in 1994, a rise of more than 50% in the past 5 years.
