Going Braless After Breast Augmentation

The skin and soft tissues of the breast lose their elasticity as you get older, just like the rest of your body, so a certain amount of sagging is inevitable no matter what you do. The question should be: what can you do to minimize the amount of sagging over time? The answer is to wear a bra during the day. Large breasts, or breasts with implants, have weight and the heavier the breasts, the more they will be subjected to gravity and be prone to sagging. The best way to counteract the... more

Despite all the care in the world the beautiful, perky breasts of a 20 year old will not bed there at age 50 because no human has ever beaten Gravity and aging. Similarly, gravitational pull is greater on heavier objects. As such, heavier / larger breasts will sag sooner than lighter,... more

Going braless will accelerate sagging in both augmentaed and unaugmented breasts. It is simply a matter of gravity.

Breasts and sagging

Wearing a bra 24/7 does not eliminate the risk of sagging over time. Weight fluctuation, the volume of the implant, and skin quality impact sagging the most.
