![]() One such very questionable and later debunked study gained much attention for claiming that bras actually caused descending breast tissue - it is unlikely this study's findings are very accurate. This debate has been largely started by isolated and heavily criticised popular studies that have suggested various health impacts from habitual bra wearing. There has been some debate over whether wearing bras more often helps to combat aging and gravitational effects on breast tissue elevation. Please note that intervention to alter pendulous breasts is not required and the following are mentioned only to provide information on options for those for who it is of great concern. While this can be effectively dealt with directly through approved psychological treatment, some women do choose surgical options to address excessive concerns of breast shape variation. This is not confined to only pendulous breast shape and can be encountered with any breast variation. ![]() Mental health can be impacted through individuals’ concern about possessing a pendulous breast shape and perception of social stigma. Very heavy and large breasts can cause chronic back and neck pain and poor posture leading to other health complications. Common physical problems relate more to very large and/or heavy breasts rather than to breast shape. No physical health concerns result from pendulous breasts as it is a natural phemonenon resulting from gravitational and aging processes. ![]() It is worth noting that this aging process related shape is prized by some cultures as a sign of fertility and mature femininity. Pendulous breasts are a normal shape variation and do not cause any inherent health concerns but are commonly referenced to body shame. This is also arguably a redundant classification as large projected breasts do not present extra fitting problems simply because gravity and basic physics means they are not self supporting and introduces unnecessary elements of body shaming for larger breasted women. Some definitions also include larger projected breasts without loss of volume as gravity means these cannot be self supporting and so the additional volume lies below the IMF. This combined with the natural universal nature of the shape makes it a somewhat redundant shape category that perpetuates body shaming of the aging process in women. The fitting problems it presents are largely similar and encompassed by full on bottom fitting advice and recommendations. It is distinct from other breast shapes because it occurs to all breast tissue, to some extent, with time. Here pendulous breasts are defined as those where the majority of the breast tissue lies below the inframammary fold (IMF) and where the nipple lies on or below the IMF. Pendulous Breasts refers to breasts that are not self-supporting and is commonly seen in all breast shapes and sizes with age, following events like fast or heavy weightloss, pregnancy and breast feeding.
