What makes some breasts pendulous?
The fibrous ligaments which support the breasts stretch
with pregnancy and also under the influence of gravity.
Once attenuated they do not regain their pristine configuration.
One reason offered for using a properly fitted
brassiere is to minimize the stretching of these breast supportive
tissues. This seems obvious, from observations of
breast contour in societies where brassieres are unknown.
Pendulous breasts are normal. The objection to them, at
this point in our culture, is an aesthetic one based on
contemporary standards.
