Sagging or drooping of breasts is a natural, inevitable process that happens to all women at some point - except those with fairly small breasts. The most notable sagging happens with the process called breast involution , but breasts can start drooping a little at any age, because they do NOT have muscles in them. They have ligaments and connective tissue. When the gravity pulls the breasts down, those ligaments and the skin can stretch, and so the breast then drops. This depends on the elasticity of your skin and of your ligaments, as determined by your genes and diet, and also on normal aging processes. Obviously large breasts will sag easier since the gravity is pulling them down more.
Breast involution is a process where the milk-making system inside the breast shrinks because it's not needed anymore. This happens either after weaning or right after pregnancy if you don't breastfeed at all, or during menopause.
Another common cause for sagging is when a woman loses weight. When you lose weight, some of that fat disappears from your breasts.
There is one more notable study concerning sagging and bra wearing, which found that jogging caused breasts to bounce enough to stretch the Cooper's ligaments inside the breast. Naturally, stretched ligaments would cause the breast to sag more.
The lesson to take home from this study is that if you engage in jogging or some other type of very active sport, sports bras are recommendable.
