How to Make Your Breasts Perkier

Quick, Pro Tips to Perk Up Your Breasts

Use different yoga positions. Yoga can work to strengthen many parts of your body including your chest muscles. Consider taking a class to get a full-body work out. Otherwise, there are particular stretches you can try: Bow pose: Lay on your stomach. Arch your back and place your arms behind your body. Pull up your legs so that your hands can grab your feet. Cobra: lay on the floor on your stomach. Place your hands near your armpits, palms down, fingers pointing towards your toes. Gently raise your body so that your back arches. Your hips should stay on the floor. Hold the pose for five seconds.

Swim. Swimming and especially doing the breast stroke can strengthen your chest muscles. Be sure to stretch before and after swimming. Swimming also will help your overall physical fitness, which will improve your appearance.

Wear the correct bra size. One thing that will help your breasts be and look perkier is to have a good bra. Visit a department store or lingerie store to have a professional measure you. Many women wear incorrect bra sizes and that can lead to back pain too. In comparison to bras with soft cups, underwire bras can give you extra support.

Maintain good posture. Keep your shoulders back and do not slouch. This will not cure drooping, but hunching can make your breasts look heavier and droopier than they are. Do mirror checks to make sure you are standing straight.

Massage your breasts. Use Vitamin E or shea butter to stimulate circulation in your breasts. This will also help the texture of your skin. Ayurvedic pomegranate breast oil is another option for firming purposes.

Try hydrotherapy. While in the shower, wash your breasts first with warm water for one half minute. Then douse them in cold water for ten seconds. Repeat this process for a few minutes. End with cold water. This method can improve your blood circulation, which may improve your elastin and collagen levels.

Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or yo-yo dieting (gaining, then losing, then gaining significant weight) can cause breasts to sag. When you gain a lot of weight, your breasts will stretch and grow heavier. If you then drop that weight, you will be left with excess skin that may cause your breasts to appear droopy. Maintaining a healthy weight and BMI can help prevent your breasts from sagging. Breasts are more likely to sag if there is a higher ratio of fat to breast tissue. The denser your breasts — that is, the more breast tissue they have, as opposed to fat — the less likely they are to sag.

Consider surgery. If you are not happy with your breasts, you can get a breast lift. There a number of different methods a surgeon may use, depending on your existing breast tissue and how much skin needs to be removed. Interview several different surgeons before making a choice. Find out how often the surgeon performs breast lifts, ask to see before and after photos, and how many procedures the doctor has performed. Make sure the surgeon you choose is board certified and the surgery will be performed in an accredited facility. Be aware that surgery may cause scarring or loss of sensation in your breasts.

Learning Chest Strengthening Exercises

Complete the chest press exercise. Collect two dumbbells. If you are an inexperienced lifter, try 5 lb. dumbbells. If you have lifted more often, start with 10 lb. weights. Lay down on the floor or on a weight bench. Bring the dumbbells downwards to your chest and rest them there. Then lift them upwards while breathing out. Do not let the weights touch each other. Do two or three sets of fifteen repetitions. Stop if you experience any pain. Consider working with a personal trainer or taking a lifting class before starting any intense weight regimen.

Try pec flyes. Lie flat on your back, either on the ground or on a bench. Bend your knees if you are on the floor and make sure your back does not lift off the ground at any time during the exercise. Lay your arms out to form a "T" with your body, with a dumbbell in each hand. Lift your arms and bring your hands toward each other above your chest. Do not touch the dumbbells — keep your arms straight and in-line with your shoulders.

Do the standing press. Find space on a flat wall (e.g. without windows). Face the wall. Stand with your forward foot twelve inches from the wall. Keep your other foot a step behind you. Place your hands (palms up) against the wall. They should be in line with your shoulders and about two feet from one another. Bend your elbows. Press against the wall for ten seconds. Repeat two times.

Do pushups. First, lay down. Then put your hands palms down near your shoulders. Lift your body up with your arms. Keep your head in line with your spine. Raise your body up and down. Try to do ten pushups at first. Then, increase your repetitions gradually. You can modify pushups by pivoting on your bent knees rather than on your feet. Lean forward to find the correct push up position. Raise and lower your body. You can also hold the push up position as a plank. Squeeze your abdominals together.
