Breast implants can cause scar tissue formation in surrounding structures and can sometimes become adhered to the pectoral muscles and chest wall. Breast cupping helps keep implants healthy and can help prevent scar tissue encapsulation. It can also improve the fluidity of implants within the capsule.
Mastectomies often cause severe scarring within pectoral, ribcage, diaphragm, and abdominal areas; removal of lymph nodes can cause issues with lymphatic drainage. Breast cupping helps not only with scar tissue release allowing for improved muscle function and mobility, but it can also help drain excess lymph from surrounding areas.
Breast reductions and lifts can cause scarring under breasts or below the areola, sometimes causing inverted nipples or other abnormalities in breast structure. Breast cupping helps release excess scar tissue and keeps lymph fluid flowing properly.
Lymph fluid can become stagnant or hardened within breast tissue and lymph nodes for a variety of reasons including previous illnesses, injuries, vaccinations, diet, and genetic components. Breast cupping helps drain excess lymph as well as break down calcifications in the tissue that prevent healthy flow of lymphatic fluid.
Adhesions, or "stuck" tissue, can form within and around breast tissue due to a variety of factors including consistent bra usage, injuries to chest or clavicular regions, chronic smoking and other breathing issues, and more. Breast cupping helps to release these adhesions and keep breast tissue healthy and hydrated.
Breastfeeding can come with a variety of challenges including mastitis and low milk supply. Breast cupping can help clear out infection and keep mammary glands clear of blockages and in healthy working order for optimal milk supply.
