Breast Lift In Dubai
What Is Breast Lift?
Mastopexy, known commonly as breast lift surgery, aims to elevate the nipple and areola to a more youthful position, tighten the gland and remove excess skin, in order to obtain lifted and harmoniously shaped breast.

Breast ptosis is the weighing of the breast gland causing a stretching of the surrounding skin and a global sagging of the breast. The breast lies in a too-low position and is flattened in its upper part. Breast ptosis can be present from the start, or appear after weight loss or pregnancy with breastfeeding. It can be isolated (pure ptosis) or associated to mammary hypertrophy. Conversely, there can be a ptosis with a small breast (hypoplasia or hypotrophy). The operation shapes the breast by stretching the skin envelope and concentrating the glandular tissue. The gland is concentrated and put back in proper position, after removal of the skin excess, thus placing the nipple and areola back in a youthful position.
The skin incisions are sutured and cause scars. When the ptosis is very severe, the scars have an anchor shape, with a peri-areolar scar between the brown and white skin, a vertical scar from the areola down to the bottom fold of the breast (infra-mammary fold). The length of the horizontal scar is proportional to the severity of the sagging.

After the operation
In most cases, postoperative pain is moderate and usually relieved by ordinary pain medication. Swelling (edema), bruising and pain, when lifting arms upwards are common symptoms.
Your dressing will be removed after 2 days and replaced with a lighter one, resembling a custom-made bra. You will leave the hospital 1 to 2 days after the operation and attend consultation 2 to 3 days later. You will then be wearing a surgical bra, which size will have been determined in the hospital, prior to your leaving. You should wear the surgical bra day and night for at least one month after surgery.
It is often possible to return to work within a week or so, depending on the job. You can resume most of your normal activities, including some form of mild exercise, after several weeks. You are advised to wait for one to two months before fully practising any sports.
The result
It can be best appreciated six months to one year after the procedure: the breasts are usually harmoniously shaped, symmetrical and have a natural shape. Besides the physical improvement, this operation usually has a positive effect on weight control, exercise, clothing and psychological health.
However, before this final outcome, one should be patient, wait for scars to slowly fade, and accept a regular follow-up every 3 months during the following year. You should also bear in mind that scarring is a patient-related process.
The operated breast remains natural and sensitive and responds normally to hormonal shifts.
