How can I help my breasts regain elasticity during weight loss?

July 13, 2015
Asked By:Illuminate in Los Angeles, CA

I am 5' 4", 16 years old, and recently picked up running. As I became more conscious of my diet and made an effort to eat healthier, I lost fifteen pounds, going from 150 to 135. I wore a 32 H bra and, due to their size, my breasts were pendulous. As I am losing weight, I have noticed that my bras are feeling loose. Besides wearing a supportive sports bra during exercise, what can I do to help my skin regain its elasticity and minimize potential sagging?
