Beach volleyball gives women saggy boobs

Women should not play beach volleyball unless they want to be left with sagging breasts, a top German surgeon has warned.

The summer sport is a popular pastime in Germany where women are not afraid to jump about in the sand in their bikinis - or even topless.

But plastic surgeon Dr George Khoury, 39, from Hamburg, says the increasingly popular sport has created a growing number of female clients who have come to him complaining about sagging breasts.

He warns that while the physical exertion might be good for the rest of the body, all the jumping and diving involved in beach volleyball puts a strain on women's breasts.

"Vigorous movements and vibrations stretch the tissue around the breasts, which can lead to permanent sagginess," warned Dr Khoury.

He added: "The female breasts, even small ones, were not made for swinging up and down 300 times within a short period of time, as happens in beach volleyball."

Dr Khoury added that if those addicted to the sport really did not want to give it up they could limit the harm to their breasts by playing less and wearing a sports bra.

As well as women the top surgeon said that men should not think they are free from risk and should remember to wear tight trunks in order to protect their testicles.

"A similar thing can happen to male genitalia. Men should also wear tight pants to stop their testicles sagging too far," he said.

Nice to see the rich heritage of German science is continuing to flourish. Not.

Shoot, just find a spring-fed pond and sit in it.

Not for nothing was John F'n Kerry seen buying a size nine and a half jockstrap during the campaign.

Why do I get the visualization that "Dr. Khoury" is dressed in full length black tights, has a monicle, and has a first name of Dieter...

I really can't buy into a scientific conclusion until I've seen the evidence for myself.

I did not realize that sagging testicles was bad.

No wonder I've always had trouble with women.

With sagging breast come wrinkled necks. Sagging breasts can be fixed but there's no hope for wrinkled necks.
