Breast is not only an aesthetic organ but also responsible for function such as breastfeeding. Therefore, it can be interpreted as the most important secondary sex organ in women. However, some of you may feel that your breasts have experienced changes after turning thirty. The most common concern is the loss of breast volume with unknown reason, especially after breast swelling from pregnancy, breastfeeding and breastfeeding withdrawal. Besides losing its volume, the breasts may even become atrophy and saggy. With the many years of outpatient observation, the author has discovered that more than 40% of patients with mammaplasty have returned to seek for consultation due to the changes of their breasts. This shows that most young ladies are very concern and cannot accept this type of changes to their body shape.

How does breast atrophy happen? Firstly, we have to understand the physiology of breast. Breast is comprised of fat tissues, mammary ducts and mammary glands. Besides, there are more fat tissues than mammary gland, accounting for approximately 60% of the total breast volume. Therefore, breast ptosis may occur when skin and ligament begin to lose its elasticity due to ageing or diseases. Moreover, weight loss and withdrawal of breastfeeding may cause the loss of fat and mammary glands which eventually lead to breast atrophy. Most patients only realize the change of breast shape during this stage and only desperately seek for solution by then. However, most of the information and supplements accessible by the public are often ineffective or even harmful. Eventually, these patients can only seek plastic surgery to restore their body shape.

On the other hand, the principle of improving breast atrophy is indeed very simple.
