How to have firm, perky breasts?

Take good care of them

If women want to have a pair of firm, perky breasts and pay plastic surgeons thousands of dollars and lingerie designers hundreds of dollars to have them, there is a reason. Not only do women feel much better about them if they have a great looking cleavage; they also appear to become more popular among men.

A beautiful bust is in part a gift of Nature but also in part a result of the care that you take. Our breasts suffer from both environmental and internal conditions and as time passes the cumulative effect may result in flaccid and sagging breasts. There are little things, however, that we can do to protect our breasts.

The breast is formed of primarily fat, breast tissue and the pectoral muscle, which gives it support. For these reasons, there are no exercises that can make your breasts grow larger or get firmer. Because we tend to accumulate fat in the breasts, it grows in size if we gain weight and it goes down in size if we lose weight. The breast is surrounded by skin. This skin is our natural bra. Maintaining elasticity and general health of this skin will make our breasts look better. (Related: Increase breast size through diet and exercise)

How to keep your breast perky and firm?

Body size changes, in other words, weight fluctuations should be avoided at all costs. These are the worst enemies of the breasts. The breast size fluctuates during our lifetime because of hormonal changes, pregnancy or breast-feeding and gaining and losing weight can be disastrous on how women look. Although hormonal changes are almost impossible to avoid, the weight changes can be avoided or at least minimized.

Tips to maintain beauty and firmness of breasts

Keep a stable weight. The breasts will always lose volume if you lose fat, but it will lose even more volume if you lose too fast. This is enough reason to avoid crash diets and keep our weight stable.

Try to sleep on your back. This way you do not put too much weight on your breasts while you sleep.

Use a good support bra. Find your right size. Most women use incorrect bra sizes. Some lingerie stores offer this service for free and find out where you can get your measurements in the area you live. A good quality bra will make your breasts look better. This is especially important if you have larger breasts.

Keep the skin surrounding the breast moisturized. If you expose this area to the sun, use sun block. This skin is very delicate and most women do not put a very good lotion or cream in this area. You may want to use good natural oils such as hazelnut, rose hips, evening primrose or mosqueta rose. You can also buy special breast creams for this area.

Good posture. More than a good bra, good posture is essential to keep your breasts firm and perky. Take a look at the way you walk and if you have problems, try to improve it. You may need to seek the help of a chiropractor as well.

Workout. As I said above, the breast has no muscle tissue, and therefore, does not benefit directly from working out, but it benefits indirectly because you will improve your posture and develop your pectoral muscles. But when you are jogging, always wear your sports bra. A study done by a research team at Portsmouth University in England showed that bouncing (that leads to sagginess) was reduced by almost 40 percent when women wear a regular bra. However, bouncing was reduced by a considerable 78 percent when the proper sports bra was worn while jogging.

In the future, we probably will have minimally-invasive procedures to make our breasts grow by growing breast tissue, but at this time to have bigger/firmer breasts, a breast augmentation surgical procedure is the only proven option. Or you could do what Teri Hatcher does - use sticky, plastic tape to create a temporary breast lift (an internal bra is more permanent solution).
