Breasts do not have muscle. They are made of fat, connective tissues and milk-producing glands, and they need proper care to keep them in good shape. Some of the factors that result in breast sagging include poor nutrition, pregnancy, breastfeeding, rapid weight loss, menopause, weight gain, and aging. In some cases wearing wrong fitted bra can also result in sagging of the breasts. Saggy breasts usually start happening after a woman reaches 40 or it can occur earlier.
A wide range of creams and lotions are available on the market to tighten and tone up sagging breasts. But if you prefer natural methods, there are many simple and easy home remedies that you can try.
1. Ice Massage
Ice massage is very effective to regain firmness in sagging breasts and uplift them. The cold temperature will cause the tissue to contract, in turn making the breasts appear firmer and more lifted.
- Take 2 ice cubes and massage them in circular motions around each of your breasts for 1 minute only.
- Dry the breasts with a soft towel and immediately put on a properly fitting bra.
- Stay in a reclining position for 30 minutes.
- Do this at regular intervals throughout the day.
- Do not expose your breasts to the ice for more than 1 minute at a time.
2. Olive Oil
Olive oil is a rich source of antioxidants and fatty acids that can reverse the damage caused by free radicals and prevent sagging breasts. Plus, it will help improve the skin tone and texture. Massaging your breasts with olive oil is an excellent technique to firm sagging breasts.
- Put some olive oil onto your palms and rub them together to generate heat.
- Rub your palms over your breasts in an upward motion.
- Massage gently for about 10-15 minutes to increase blood flow and stimulate cell repair.
- Repeat this remedy 4 to 5 times in a week.
3. Egg White
Egg white is also good for sagging breasts due to its astringent and skin-nourishing properties. The hydro lipids present in egg white helps lift loose skin around your breasts.
- Beat 1 egg white until you get a foamy texture. Apply this onto your breasts and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Wash it off with cucumber or onion juice and then with cold water.
- Repeat this remedy once a week.
4. Fenugreek Seed
In Ayurveda, fenugreek is often used to firm sagging breasts. It has vitamins and antioxidants that combat free radical damage and helps lift, tighten and smooth skin around the breasts.
- Mix 3-4 tbsp of fenugreek seed powder with enough water to form a thick paste. Massage this paste into your breasts and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Repeat this remedy once or twice a week.
5. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has natural skin-tightening properties that can help get rid of sagging breasts. The antioxidants in aloe vera prevent damage caused by free radicals and help firm sagging breasts.

6. Shea Butter
Shea butter is a great source of vitamin E that tightens the skin to give your breasts a firmer appearance. Also, it helps prevent cell damage caused by free radicals.
- Rub some shea butter onto your breasts.
- Massage in an upward and circular direction for 10–15 minutes.
- Leave it on for another 10 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
- Repeat this remedy 3-4 times a week to see best results.
7. Breast Exercise
Exercises that target breast tissues and pectoral muscles around the chest can help a lot to add firmness. Some exercises that can effectively lift up and firm sagging breasts are:
- Chest presses and pulls
- Arm Raises
- Round-about push-ups
- Dumbbell flyes
(Always wear a supportive or sports bra while exercising.)
8. Yoga
Some of the best positions for strengthening the breast muscles are the Triangle Pose, the Cobra Pose, and the Standing Forward Bend. Certain yoga positions also battle the effects of gravity, which is a major component causing breasts sagging. Try headstands, backbends, and the inverted leg stretch to reverse some of the negative effects of gravity on your breasts.
9. Swimming
The activity tightens the muscles that hold the breasts and is particularly beneficial in beautifying the women’s body. It tones the limb and develops a perky chest. Include swimming in your daily routine, and see your breasts getting firmer within a few weeks. Swimming for half an hour in a day is more than enough.
10. Wear Fitted Bra
You need to select the appropriate bra size which makes the breast look firm and provides enough support to keep it high and tight. There are special bras available in the market which has strong support holders at the cup bottoms which lift your breast and keep them firm.
