I've heard about that before but I don't believe it's true. Big boobs tend to be saggy because of gravity. A bra can't change that.

Not that I know of. There's muscles across the top of them which are there to support them but, if she wears a bra all the time, those muscles can't do their job and will eventually get weaker.

Not just saggy, basically the whole shape would go maniac. But even that, proper exercise still needed to provide enough muscle tension to pull them up.

A fifteen-year study concluded that wearing a bra causes boobs to become more saggy because the bra acts as a "crutch", causing the tissue that holds the boobs up to weaken.
