For some women, striae on the piquant part of the body, which is hidden under clothing, does not cause much concern. However, for ladies who prefer open bathing suits and deep necklines, stretch marks on the chest become the cause of emotions. But do not despair, there are several ways to solve the problem.
Why ugly stripes appear
How to avoid stretch marks from feeding and ugly stripes on the chest? Striae, or stretch marks, are atrophic scars that form after rupture of skin fibers. Such formations look like stripes of different lengths and widths with uneven edges. At first they can be red, red-cyanotic, violet or blue, and then turn whitish - such stretch marks are considered to be old.
Skin fibers are damaged as a result of:
- stretching of the epidermis;
- hormonal changes.
Striae on the piquant part of the body may appear after breast enlargement, namely:
- during pregnancy and lactation - due to the influx of milk;
- with weight gain - due to fat deposits in the area of the mammary glands;
- when losing weight - the skin "breaks" due to a decrease in breast volume;
- with intense sports - due to an increase in muscle volume;
- during puberty in adolescent girls - due to age-related increase in breast size.
The role of prevention
It is easier to prevent the appearance of stretch marks on the chest than to then fight with striae. Proper skin care will help prevent tearing of skin fibers.
Cosmetic procedures
The first step towards beautiful breast skin is to include pleasant cosmetic procedures in the daily routine, the tasks of which are:
- maintain firmness and elasticity of the skin;
- nourish and moisturize the epidermis;
- activate regeneration processes;
- stimulate blood circulation.
Breast care should include the following minimum procedures.
- Cosmetics. It is recommended to treat the skin of the breast once or twice a day with a nourishing or moisturizing lotion, special cream. You can use cold-pressed vegetable oil: olive, almond is suitable.
- Cold and hot shower. The procedure tones the skin of the whole body. It is recommended to start a session with hot water, and end it with cold water.
- Massage. Moisten olive oil a cotton mitten and put it on your hand. Massage your breasts with light, smooth movements. Repeat once or twice a week.
Nutrition
To maintain the elasticity of the epidermis (ensuring the synthesis of skin fibers), the body needs nutrients and vitamins. This is why it’s important to stick to the basics of good nutrition:
- include in the diet - more fresh vegetables and fruits, protein foods (meat, fish, dairy products, eggs, legumes);
- minimize consumption - fatty, fried, salted, smoked, canned, sweet food, flour products;
- exclude - fast food and convenience foods.
Sport
The condition of the skin is largely determined by the tone of the muscles of the chest. Therefore, it is worth paying regular attention to optimally organized physical activities. Here are some exercises to help keep your muscle corset in good shape.
- "Strap". Stand on the bar, and hold this position for as long as possible.
- "Wings". Stand straight, feet shoulder width apart, arms along the body. Bring the shoulder blades together, hold for ten seconds and return to the starting position. Repeat eight times.
- "Prayer". To connect palms in front of the chest, squeezing hands with force for five seconds. Run eight times.
The right bra
When choosing a bra, there are two points to consider.
- The size. It should correspond to the size of the breast: do not press or rub, but fit snugly against the mammary glands;
- the cloth. It is important that the intimate garment is made from natural materials.
In some cases, stretch marks on the chest appear despite preventative measures. This is due to the individual characteristics of the skin, a genetic predisposition. What to do in this situation?
How to remove stretch marks on the chest: basic techniques
The fight against stretch marks should be based on four principles.
- Fast start. If it was not possible to prevent the appearance of striae, it is necessary to deal with stretch marks on the chest as soon as they are formed. Fresh stripes of red or red-cyanotic color are penetrated by capillaries and quite easily treatable. According to dermatologists, white stretch marks, whose “age” is more than six months, cannot be completely removed: it is only possible to make them as inconspicuous as possible.
- Complexity. The greatest efficiency when working with stretch marks is provided by the simultaneous use of several methods. In this case, you need to combine them with proper nutrition and sports.
- Individual approach. When choosing suitable methods for the treatment of striae, it is important to take into account the features of the delicate skin of the breast and your own body as a whole.
- Regularity and patience. Measures aimed at removing stretch marks should be carried out continuously, and not from time to time. This is the only way to achieve visible results. It is important to understand that removing striae is a lengthy process that takes several months.

Who helped: reviews
Good afternoon ladies! accidentally stumbled upon this topic, selectively read out of interest. I mixed stretch marks with a laser 2 times. stretch marks were on my chest, appeared at age 12, huge, terrible! For the first time, Fraxel did - the nonsense was complete, healed quickly, but it did not help much. I was disappointed and quit. several years passed, and at 30 it hit me to reduce them again (it turns out that my stretch marks are very old) I did the usual laser resurfacing .... girls, it was horrible !!! I had such a terrible severe burn, it's just a nightmare! everything burst, the anemone flowed, I smeared with “bepanten” and “panthenol” creams - just a tube a day !!! I cursed that day and hour - why did I do this ... and somehow I went once again to the pharmacy for the next burn cream, and the pharmacist advised me the cream after the laser procedures "zinalfat" - made in Poland, it cost somewhere 400 rubles - it told me it helped! this is just a miracle! in general, healed for a long time, about 4 months, but that cream really helped me! True, the stretch marks did not completely disappear from me - but they became much more imperceptible, so I advise - most importantly - then proper care for the treated surfaces.

I did microdermabrasion a couple of times (skin resurfacing) and regularly had a contrast shower. And the best of the tested gel creams was Cream from Collistar. Pleasant and convenient tool in every way. The condition of the breast has improved much, but unfortunately it did not become what it was before the GV ... Good luck and do all the procedures as soon as possible, since it is believed that the lines of rehabilitation of the skin of the breast are 3 years after delivery.

She smeared the breast and stomach with cream Our Mom ... The smell is pleasant, it is absorbed easily .. but I don’t see much result. My stomach is fine (I’m not very big in principle), my right breast is all in stretch marks: ((.. So, most likely you’ll not get anywhere by nature. But Johnsons baby oil really liked me more: stretch marks seem to tighten a little bit.
