• Sagging and loose breastsDuring pregnancy and breastfeeding, the supporting tissues of the breast are stretched and lose elasticity, causing the nipples to droop and the breasts to sag. In severe cases, this is called "bag breasts".
• The asymmetry is more obvious.Some mothers prefer to breastfeed on one side, which leads to a greater difference in the development of the two breasts, making them appear more unbalanced.
• Sunken upper chest, lack of energyLoss of fullness in the upper chest, resulting in clothes not fitting properly, also known as the problem of empty cups in the upper chest.

Although these are relatively natural and gentle methods, they are not very helpful in improving postpartum breast atrophy.
