Most women want to have large breasts and are even willing to spend thousands on surgery to increase their breast size. But millions of busty women can tell you that having a large chest isn’t always ideal, especially when it comes to signs of aging.
Just like the skin on your face and hands can reveal your age with wrinkles, your cleavage can also become wrinkled – and busty women are more likely to get chest wrinkles.
Why Chest Wrinkles Occur
Chest wrinkles occur when breast tissue gets pulled to one side for extended periods. As the collagen in the skin breaks down with age and damage, such as from UV ray exposure, wrinkles form in the areas where the breast tissue overextended.
In most cases, chest wrinkles are long lines going from the collarbone to the space between the breasts, making a V shape of wrinkles. It is because chest wrinkles generally occur from sleeping on one’s side since the top nipples will pull downwards.
Sleeping on your back can reduce chest wrinkles, but it can still cause aging lines to appear – just extending outwards instead of down to the cleavage line. Another reason that chest wrinkles occur is because of sports bras and pushup bras. These bras can flatten the breasts or push them into unnatural positions, so lines form in the areas where the tissue has been overextended.
Chest wrinkles can occur in any woman but are most likely in women with more massive breasts – whether natural or surgically endowed.
Reducing Chest Wrinkles
If you have chest wrinkles, you are far from alone in the problem. Numerous women have come up with solutions to fight cleavage wrinkles. Your options are generally broken down into pillows that worn between the breasts during sleep or special bra-like supports.
- Chest Wrinkle Pillows: You can try putting a cylinder pillow (or a stuffed sock) between your breasts while sleeping to reduce chest wrinkles, but this will likely be uncomfortable, sweaty, and fall out. You can check out the La Decollete or Chest Savers Bra. The Décolleté Pads work with the same idea as the bras but are smaller, silicon patches that get applied to the breast area at night.
Injections for Chest Wrinkles
Pillows and bras can do wonders for reducing chest wrinkles, but they probably aren’t going to get rid of the lines on your cleavage completely. For a quicker, more effective solution, you can try wrinkle-filling injections like Juvederm. Do be aware that these wrinkle filling injections usually cost about $600 and have to be repeated every 5-12 months to keep the effects.
