the droop...

So, I clearly remember having this conversation with Gavin in the car the other day... and I mentioned the term, "Cooper's Droop"... aka.. sagging boobs. So to better inform you of what this is... take a look:

"As the years go by, breasts become less glandular and fattier, which makes them less firm. Another factor is the stretching of fibrous bands in the breast called Cooper's ligaments. "They're fibrous tissue that holds the breast up a bit, and those can stretch over time and that leads to some of the sagging, too"

Cooper's ligaments + sagging = Cooper's droop

Fatty tissue represents the bulk of the breast. It surrounds the glandular tissue

Lobes produce milk and communicate to the nipple surface via lactiferous ducts and sinuses. There are about 15-20 lobes in one breast.

Fibrous bands (Cooper's ligaments) extend from under the skin and attach to the underlying muscle, supporting the glandular tissue

The glandular, fibrous, and fatty components of breast tissue vary with such factors as age, stateof nutrition, and pregnancy
