    Good question! I know that you need to do exercises that target the pectoral muscles but I'm not sure exactly what exercises. Just wanted to bump up the thread :)

    Come on, I would love to see a response. The only exercise I know is walking into a Victoria Secret for a good push-up! ;)

    Chest flies have helped me!
    I've heard push ups are great for it too.

    Anything that works the core, back and shoulders... it leads to better posture, which makes the girls proud and happy. :happy:

    Chest exercises can make them stand out more as they work the muscles underneath:

    Bench press
    Dumbell chest flies
    Push-ups etc

    It's really hard, because even with working on the pecs, it does not seem to help the overall fat loss from that area...

    If you want to give it a try, do a modified push-up. To really work the muscle, move your hands together under your chest so that the thumbs and index finger of both hands meet to form a diamond-shape. Start out using your knees as a fulcrum, them move to toes. I do 3 sets of 8-16...

    It might make a slight difference. Strengthening your pecs will pull the skin up slightly around the top of the breast, though don't expect your girls to look like they did at 18 without some surgery.

    You can do pushups to really target the chest, but overall, it won't help if you have extra skin or lost a lot of fat. It does help those muscles get more perky, but depending on where the "girls" sit on your chest, it might not make too much difference. Can't hurt to try!

    This may sound strange but rubbing extra virgin olive oil (just a little) on your girls can help then become firmer....it really works too

    I do pushups already, but haven't tried this variation, so thanks for that.

    Olive oil, really? Does it help tighten the looser skin? I'll try anything, lol.

    I haven't lost anything by way of size (they never did get smaller even when I was 16 and 93 pounds :)), and they still sit about an inch and a half above the bottom of my ribcage, just not quite as high as they once were and I'd like to see them.

    There are plenty of things you can do, but its difficult to recommend something without closer examination.

    LMAO, but sorry, only my husband, my doctor and the damned mammogram technician have that privilege.

    I think the following could help:
    decline pushups place your feet about two stairs higher than your hands, do your pushups
    what i call arm haulers, lie on the floor face down, arms in front of your suspended off the floor pull them down to you sides, then back up over your head, thats one rep, kind of like doing snow angels but with just your arms and face down of course
