Hi guys, I have just started my weight loss journey. I have 35 pounds to go. I'm excited to see the changes in my body, but I'm nervous about my boobs. They most likely will shrink in size and I'm totally OK with that as my breasts are too big for my liking anyway. But I am concerned about sagging breasts. I'm only 21 and my breasts are already starting to sag. It makes me sad. :cry:

So my question is what I can do to get perkier breasts or at least make sure they don't get saggier and deflated with weight loss?

    Drink lots of water, it'll help tighten the skin. As for exercises, pressing, both bench and overhead will have some effect. Pull-ups, dips and rows are also an idea. Basically anything that works the pecks, shoulders and back will help to an extent. Outside of that, a lift.

    Definitely do chest exercises, but do them for bulk as well as tone(lift heavy weights), and get your protein, don't be afraid of the numbers on the scale. I've been doing a body building routine with my husband. I gained muscle mass, pounds, and a bonus bra size increase.

    Shrink to a AA and then you wont have to worry about sagging cause there wont be anything to sag. :grumble: sorry, I've just bitter...really bitter. But any chest exercises would work.

    I lost 70 pounds and went from a DD to a small, saggy B cup. I did everything I could think of to keep them perky... Did chest work outs, moisturized, drank a ton of water... But the fact is if you lose a lot of weight your breasts will probably be saggy at the end. I finally bit the bullet and had a breast augmentation, best decision I ever made.

    This may not be an option for you, since you say your boobs are bigger than you like, but I just stopped wearing a bra. Cold turkey. I heard that bras may hinder natural small chest muscles that support the boobs. As I am a smallish A, it wasn't like I needed one, and idgaf if my headlights show every now and then,so I thought why not, I'll give it a try . Fast forward about 6 months later, and I'm showing marked improvement in my girls' perkiness.

    I don't think there is an exercise you can do that will make breasts perkier. If they don't end up being perky enough for your tastes then off to the plastic surgeon or live with it.

    No.

    Breast fat sits parallel to the muscle, not above or beneath. The skin stretches around it. If it sags, it sags. You may be lucky and they may tighten with the rest of your skin... but you also may not.

    Breasts that defy gravity only exist in Hollywood.

    Exercises are great but likely won't help; getting stronger only has benefits; and also shifting your focus from appearance to health can help you to appreciate your body more instead of only seeing the imperfections (which we all have). Worrying about perky breasts is just a waste of time in the scope of things that really matter in life.

    You might like to remind yourself that breasts have a purpose much more important than as sexual objects or looking "perky".

    Depending on how much you lose will affect their perkiness.
    If you make a big jump from like...a D to a B, they will probably look a little more deflated. I lost 40 lbs and didn't even lose a full cup size. They're definitely smaller, but with chest exercises they're nice and perky. Sometimes I can even see striations in my chest!

    You are 21 ?

    Let me give you a straight up answer.

    Gravity. We must fight it. It isn't kind. Genetics play a role, but there are DEF things you can do.

    I'm 50. D cups. my boobs are genetic from my grandmother along with her stubbornness. I've been overweight since I was 8 with bouts of losing and regaining 50 lbs several times in my life. 3 years ago I was at my highest weight of 238 and a size 44DD.
    I'm now a 36D. My boobs are pretty darn perky and firm. Since we are already bordering TMI territory : lying down = pretty damn perky.

    my advice?

    unless u r sleeping : WEAR A BRA

    Wear a GOOD, supportive bra

    Strength train. Training Pecs are NOT just for men.
    progressive, sustained strength training. Meaning : you will not see or maintain results in a few weeks or months.

    If you do high impact sports/ exercises : high compression sports bras

    Rapid weight loss is not a good thing for our muscle mass - that includes our chest muscles.

    You are 21 - you have a lifetime of opportunity to obtain and sustain good eating habits and strength training. I WISH I'd learned about it at your age.

    Good luck!

    My boobs actually have no purpose beyond looking good or being sexual objects. ...unless filling out shirts is a purpose separate from looking good?


    Any who. I hear surgery is a viable option. It's one I myself am keeping in mind, just in case.

    pretty much.

    I've actually heard (completely unsubstantiated) wearing some support at night is good too. I've switched to light bra's occasionally- I hate wearing stuff to bed- but then I'm like I DON"T WANT SAGGY BEWBS.... so I alternate- no pattern. shrug- it is what it is.

    Plastic surgery. And once I hit my goal and maintain it for one entire year, I am going the same route.

    No amount of exercise can overcome what gravity has already taken.

    Wear a supportive bra. Eat lots of protein (1g/lb lean body mass at least). Pray. :flowerforyou:

    bench presses, cannot emphasize this enough! they strengthen the muscles which hold your boobs in place. which makes them perky
