Why do breasts deform after childbirth? There are many reasons for breast deformation, which may not necessarily be caused after childbirth. It may be caused by aging of human tissues or insufficient subcutaneous fat due to weight loss and dieting. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, breasts belong to the spleen and stomach meridian, while nipples belong to the liver meridian. During menstruation, due to a large amount of blood loss after childbirth and the mother's supply of calcium to the fetus during pregnancy, kidney qi is depleted, resulting in insufficient qi and blood in the liver and kidneys. In addition, the function of the spleen and stomach is not good, resulting in the inability to absorb nutrients. These factors are enough to cause insufficient Qi and blood, causing breast atrophy or sagging. Therefore, if you want your breasts to return to their original appearance after childbirth, you must take care of the spleen, liver, and kidneys. To nourish. Dr. Liu Mingwei from the Plastic Surgery Department of Taiwan Adventist Hospital believes that according to Western medicine, the smaller breasts after childbirth are related to hormones. There are two reasons for this. One is the reduction of fat, and the other is the obstruction of the breast glands, which causes the breast line to shrink due to the influence of hormones. Of course, the original physical constitution also plays a big factor. Some people's breasts are even more beautiful than before after giving birth to children and weaning, but they are only a minority. Therefore, nutrition during postpartum confinement is very important. How to prevent postpartum breast deformation * In terms of diet, of course, physical fitness and genetics account for the majority of the factors that affect postpartum breast deformation, but secondly, it is also closely related to nutrition. Therefore, Dr. Liao believes that in addition to adequate nutrition during confinement, Rest and sleep are beneficial to the recovery of postpartum Qi and blood. Try to eat foods with high protein content, such as meat (mutton, beef, chicken, etc.), beans, milk, eggs and other foods containing high protein and fat. And rich in collagen, such as pork skin, pig's trotters, beef trotters, beef tendons, chicken wings, etc., plus vegetables (three small plates a day), fruits (more than two servings a day) and adequate water intake. As long as you can properly consume a balanced diet with enough high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals during and after confinement, it should be possible to prevent and improve breast atrophy or sagging caused by insufficient nutrition. *In addition to diet in daily life, Dr. Liu said that the beauty and sleeping posture in daily life may also affect the breasts. What women fear most is the magic of gravity. Gravity will cause the skin of the whole body to fade. It is loose, so try not to hunch over when sitting or standing, and try not to sleep on the same side when sleeping. These will more or less be affected by gravity and cause sagging of the chest. Dr. Liu also emphasized that wearing underwear can actually improve breast sagging, but be careful not to tighten it too tightly to avoid difficulty breathing. You can wear underwear without steel rings when sleeping, which can reduce the impact of gravity. In terms of plastic surgery, breast atrophy and sagging are divided into ** according to the severity: the first level is the position of the nipple in the submastyard groove, the second level is the nipple 1cm to 3cm below the inframastillary groove, and the second level is the nipple 3cm below the inframastillary groove. For the first **. If it is a slight sagging that has not reached the first level, it can be improved with medicinal diet, massage and exercise. If it is already the first level or above, breast augmentation, breast lift and other surgeries are necessary.
