  • A recent Facebook post shared in Nigeria claims that applying a paste of egg yolk, cucumber and shea butter will make women’s breasts more firm. Blend the cucumber in a blender, add the egg yolk, and shea butter, and blend well until a smooth paste is formed, it reads . It goes on to explain how it should be used . In 2019 Africa Check debunked a similar message that claimed the mixture firmed up breasts that had fallen because of breastfeeding. No cause for concern This is an example of a home-made therapy but I am not aware of any research that supports this, said Adegboyega Fawole, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at Nigeria’s University of Ilorin . He suggested that people with this condition who are not pleased with it could see a surgeon. But Fawole added that saggy breasts were not life-threatening or a cause for concern. (en)
