Breast Lift in Dubai – Mastopexy

As women age, it is common to experience breast ptosis (sagging). This natural phenomenon can be attributed to various factors, including aging, pregnancy, gravity, and reduced collagen and elastin production in the skin. Fortunately, a customized cosmetic procedure such as a breast lift (Mastopexy) can enhance breast shape and restore a more youthful appearance.

At Euromed Clinic, our experienced plastic surgeons, equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and proficient staff, perform breast lift surgery in Dubai according to the needs and expectations of the patient. Read on to learn more about breast lift surgery.

What is Breast Lift Surgery? 

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast appearance by removing excess skin and tightening breast tissues to give them a firmer, more rounded, and aesthetically enhanced look. The primary objective of this treatment is to reduce breast sagging and reposition the nipples to an optimal position. Depending on the patient’s needs, the surgeon can also reduce the size of the areola.

Why is Breast Lift Carried Out? 

A breast lift is performed to reshape sagging breasts or correct downward-pointing nipples, often caused by:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Aging
• Fluctuations in body weight
• Gravity
• Genetics

It is important to note that if you want to add volume to your breasts or reduce their size, you should consider other procedures such as breast implants, breast augmentation, or breast reduction surgery.

What Are The Benefits Of Breast Lift?

Breast lift surgery has been recognized as a viable method to restore a woman’s youthful appearance. This procedure provides the following benefits:

• Enhances the shape and symmetry of the breasts
• Improves nipple projection
• Long-lasting results
• Minimal scarring
• Makes the areola aesthetically pleasing
• Boosts confidence
• Makes the breasts perkier and aligned with each other

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Breast Lift Surgery?

A breast lift is an ideal cosmetic procedure for women with sagging breasts. However, there are other criteria that a woman needs to meet to be an ideal candidate for this procedure. The candidacy criteria include:

• Women whose breasts have started sagging
• The breasts’ skin has lost its elasticity
• The nipples point downward and drop below the crease of the breasts
• Women who do not plan to get pregnant in the future
• The candidate has a stable weight and is in overall good health
• Women with realistic expectations from the procedure
• The breasts have lost their symmetry
• Women aged 18 and older

How to Prepare for Breast Lift Surgery?

Breast lift is a common procedure with no severe side effects when performed by an experienced and licensed plastic surgeon. However, you need to ask yourself why you need this surgery. Once you have the answers, find a reputable clinic with skilled staff. You can seek recommendations from family members, friends, and make in-person visits to the recommended clinics. During the consultation, let your surgeon know about your expectations and disclose any current medications you are taking. Your surgeon will provide you with pre-procedure care instructions, which generally include:

• Make lifestyle changes and gradually lose weight to be at an ideal weight during the surgery
• Stop smoking cold turkey
• Avoid taking blood-thinning medicines such as aspirin and other herbal medications
• Bring someone with you to drive you back home after the surgery

How is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?

On the treatment day, upon reaching the clinic, the staff will guide you to the surgery room where a preoperative assessment will be done. They will also help alleviate any anxiety you may have before your surgery.

Anesthesia: Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that the patient is asleep and does not feel any pain during the procedure. In some cases, local anesthesia with sedation may be used, depending on the extent of the surgery and the patient’s medical condition.

Procedure

There are four primary techniques used in breast lift surgery. Here is a brief overview of these techniques:

Crescent Breast Lift: This technique is recommended for women with minimal sagging. It involves a single incision running halfway along the outer edge of the areola.

Benelli Lift: Suitable for women with mild breast sagging, the Benelli or donut lift results in a subtle lift and improved breast shape. The surgeon makes a circular incision around the outer edge of the areola.

Lollipop Lift: In this procedure, the surgeon makes two incisions: one around the edge of the areola and a vertical one from the bottom of the areola down to the inframammary fold. This technique allows for significant breast reshaping.

Anchor Lift: This procedure involves three incisions: one around the outer edge of the areola, one running vertically from the bottom of the areola to the inframammary fold, and one horizontally along the natural breast crease.

Post-Treatment Care

Taking good care of the surgery area after a breast lift will help you ensure a smooth recovery followed by your desired outcome. Here are some aftercare steps your surgeon will want you to follow:

• Ensure to keep the surgery area dry, clean, and bandaged according to your surgeon’s instructions.
• You may need to avoid shower baths for a few days. Alternatively, you can consider sponge bathing.
• Since a breast lift is a surgical procedure, it is followed by a recovery duration of a few weeks. Therefore, it is advisable to take a week off from work and have complete rest at home for optimum recovery.
• Your doctor will probably advise you against lifting heavy objects and bending at your hips until your incisions heal entirely.
• Wear a supportive bra, often a sports bra, to prevent the breasts from sagging due to gravity and to provide necessary support during the healing process.

Breast Lift Surgery Recovery

Immediately after surgery, your breasts will be firm and swollen. You may also experience mild to moderate pain for the first 2-3 days, for which your doctor will likely prescribe medication to manage the discomfort. Most patients can return to their complete daily routine, including regular exercise, typically after 4-6 weeks or once they have achieved full recovery, as advised by their surgeon.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Before & After

What are the Risks of Breast Lift?

Overall, breast lift surgery comes with relatively rare complications. Those complications include:

• Anesthesia risks
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Scarring
• Breast asymmetry

It is worth noticing that properly following aftercare instructions helps reduce the risk of complications significantly.

How Much Does Breast Lift Cost in Dubai?

The starting cost of a breast lift in Dubai is AED 27,000. However, prices vary from clinic to clinic due to several cost-determining factors. These factors include:

• Geographical location of the clinic
• Expertise of the plastic surgeon
• Breast lift technique used in the procedure
• Anesthesia charges

How Long Does the Result of Breast Lift Surgery Last?

If you do not get pregnant or gain significant weight, a breast lift can last up to 10 years or more. Overall, the longevity of the results depends on how well you take care of the treated area.

How Painful is a Breast Lift?

According to most women who underwent breast lift surgery, the procedure was less painful than expected. In general, post-operative pain lasts a couple of weeks after the surgery. Even this pain is manageable with medications that your surgeon will suggest.

Will I Still be Able to Breastfeed After Breast Lift Surgery?

Yes, you can nurse your baby after a breast lift surgery. The surgery’s impact on milk supply depends on whether the milk ducts are cut during the operation. Fortunately, a breast lift typically does not involve cutting these ducts.

Does a Breast Lift Leave Scars?

Since a breast lift involves incisions, there will be scars after surgery. However, these scars are generally minimal and fade over time. To minimize the risk of prominent scarring, it is best to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon.

How Long Does it Take to See the Full Result of the Breast Lift Surgery?

You will see the final results of the breast lift a few months after the surgery. During this period, the swelling and bruising will subside. However, the incision lines will remain but will fade over time.

Can Breast Lift Surgery be Performed with Breast Augmentation?

Yes, an ideal candidate can maximize the benefits of a breast lift procedure by combining it with breast augmentation.
