HALT SAGGING BREASTS

CONSULTANT plastic surgeon Nigel Mercer says: “As you age your skin loses elasticity, stretching still further if not supported.

“The average breast weighs 300g to 400g so this is the weight of the unsupported mass that will flop down into your armpits as you turn over in bed at night. Many women wear a bra at night for comfort, but it also provides about eight hours of extra support for already sagging breasts. They get bigger as women age, so wearing a bra in bed at night stops further sagging.”
