Postpartum breast atrophy

Many young mothers' breasts are plump and well-developed. However, after the baby is weaned, they gradually begin to shrink, and the doctor has not checked for any organic diseases. Not only severely drooping, but also became dry, hanging on the chest like an empty cloth bag. After breastfeeding, the acinar shrinks, widens, the glandular ducts shrink, become thinner, and the elasticity of the skin and the suspension support structure decreases. The breast cannot be retracted and restored, resulting in sagging breasts.
