Breasts come in shapes and sizes, and heredity is the biggest factor that determines the size, shape, and firmness of a woman’s breasts. There are no creams or lotions that can tighten breast tissue, and there’s no specific evidence that proves that a certain type of exercise firms sagging breasts. That being said, large breasts can cause backaches, so wearing a well-fitting bra can provide support that may help. Talk to your health care provider for other suggestions.
