Corset tops, crop tops, and fitted blouses have become a fashion favorite, giving the body a sculpted and stylish look. Celebrities and fashionistas alike are embracing this trend. However, fashion designer and actress Masaba Gupta has recently shared a cautionary tale about the health risks of wearing overly tight corsets.
Masaba Gupta’s Close Call with an Acid Attack
During a recent appearance on Sania Mirza’s show, Masaba revealed that she nearly suffered an acid attack while wearing a tight corset for a song shoot. The garment applied intense pressure on her abdomen and chest, causing discomfort and almost triggering a serious health issue.
How Corset Tops Can Affect Health
A corset works by constricting the waistline, giving a slimmer appearance. But this tightness can lead to:
-
Acidity and heartburn
-
Gas and bloating
-
Acid reflux attacks
-
Discomfort in the diaphragm
-
Pressure on the digestive tract
While it may seem like a minor fashion concern, wearing a corset incorrectly or for too long can have serious consequences.
Precautions When Wearing a Corset Top
-
Choose the Right Fit and Quality
-
Select a corset that suits your body type and size.
-
Avoid overly tight designs that put pressure on the stomach and chest.
-
-
Limit Wearing Time
-
Do not wear corsets for extended periods.
-
Avoid wearing them in heat or during physical activity to prevent sweating, skin irritation, and discomfort.
-
-
Prioritize Comfort and Safety
-
Use a soft inner lining or non-irritating material.
-
If you feel pain, shortness of breath, or discomfort, loosen or remove the corset immediately.
