Typically, the degree of breast sagginess is measured by the position of the nipple in relation to the breast fold. If the nipple sits above the line of the fold, it is considered normal. If it is on the same level as the fold, it is known as first-degree ptosis. When the nipple has dropped below the fold, it is second-degree ptosis. When the nipple is pointing downward, it has reached the third-degree stage of breast ptosis.
Symptoms of breast deflation/sagginess include:
Breast sagginess can be painful, especially for those with large breasts.
It can lead to stretched ligaments and back pain, as well as rashes and itchiness in the skin folds. It can also cause poor self-confidence and a loss of self-esteem due to the aesthetic concern of having saggy breasts.
While it is a common part of ageing for women, breast sagginess can also be caused by many factors.
Women with large breasts, those who have recently lost a significant amount of weight, pregnancy or breastfeeding women, or women who have reached the age of menopause, may be at risk of breast sagginess and deflation in Singapore.
Breast deflation and sagginess can be diagnosed through a visual examination by a doctor who can assess the severity of ptosis in this area. They may also ask for a detailed medical history.
There are several treatments for breast deflation and sagginess in Singapore as it is a very common condition for women.
