Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
‘If you are contemplating a Breast Lift, Dubai plastic surgeon Dr. Ahmad will help you attain your goals.’
Breast Lift in Dubai
Over time, factors like aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can cause breasts to lose their firmness and shape. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is a highly effective solution for restoring a more youthful and lifted appearance. Renowned for delivering outstanding cosmetic breast surgery results, Dr. Ahmad will work closely with you to determine if a breast lift aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Our Credentials
Benefits of a Breast Lift
A mastopexy, or breast lift, does more than simply elevate the breasts—it enhances their overall appearance in several ways. By addressing the elongated shape often associated with sagging, the procedure creates a rounder, more youthful contour. As the breast tissue is lifted and excess skin is removed, the upper portion of the breast gains a fuller, more balanced look. Additionally, the nipples are repositioned to a more central, natural position, and the areolas are reduced in size, which is especially beneficial if they have been stretched due to drooping.
The many cosmetic benefits of a Breast Lift with Dr. Ahmad include:
-
Elevated breast mound
-
Rounder breast shape
-
Raised nipples
-
Reduced areola size
For patients who also desire fuller, more voluptuous breasts, Dr. Ahmad may combine Breast Lift with a Breast Augmentation procedure.
Who is a Candidate for Breast Lift?
If you have any of the following concerns, you could benefit from Breast Lift:
You are interested in correcting sagging or drooping breasts (ptosis)
You have a “long” breast shape and would prefer them to be more rounded
Your nipple position is low
You desire enhanced fullness in the upper breasts
You desire breasts that are perkier, not necessarily larger
Other Criteria for Candidates:
Fitness and Health
Patients should be generally fit and relatively healthy; Dr. Ahmad will make an assessment of your general health and suitability before undergoing any type of surgery.
Breastfeeding Recovery
Patients who are breastfeeding / pregnant should wait at least 4-8 weeks after breastfeeding has ceased before having surgery so that the true breast size and shape can be determined.
No Smoking
Smokers should quit smoking at least 2 weeks prior to surgery.
Realistic Surgery Goals
A patient should have realistic expectations about what can be accomplished through Mastopexy.
Breast Lift Options
Dr. Ahmad tailors each breast lift surgery to suit your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, which will be carefully discussed during your private consultation. The type of incision and technique he selects will depend on the degree of sagging (ptosis) and the desired outcome.
For mild cases of ptosis, fewer incisions may be required, while more advanced sagging may necessitate additional incisions.
Here are the common types of breast lift techniques:
Periareolar Breast Lift in Dubai
An incision is made around the areola. Once healed, this scar blends well with the natural color transition of the skin, making it the least visible compared to other methods.
Short-Scar Breast Lift in Dubai
This involves an incision around the areola, along with a vertical incision extending from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. While the vertical scar may be somewhat visible when unclothed, it is typically discreet.

Traditional Breast Lift in Dubai
This technique includes an incision around the areola, a vertical incision to the breast crease (often called a “lollipop incision”), and, if necessary, a horizontal incision along the breast fold. The additional incision is generally used for more severe sagging and is usually well-concealed beneath the breast.
Although all surgical procedures result in some scarring, Dr. Ahmad’s advanced techniques and extensive experience ensure that scars are minimized and carefully placed to be as inconspicuous as possible once healing is complete.

Preparing for Your Breast Lift
A crucial step in preparing for your breast lift (mastopexy) is attending a private consultation. During this one-on-one session, Dr. Ahmad will provide his full attention to address your concerns, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions about your treatment. At the Yorkville Institute of Plastic Surgery, we recognize the importance of building confidence in both your surgeon and your treatment plan. That’s why we dedicate ample time during consultations to ensure you feel informed, comfortable, and empowered to explore your options.
Once your surgery is scheduled, our team will provide detailed preoperative instructions to help you prepare for the procedure. We will also thoroughly explain what to expect during the recovery period, ensuring you feel fully supported every step of the way.
Details of the Breast Lift Procedure
Dr. Ahmad begins the mastopexy procedure by removing excess skin caused by stretching and sagging. Next, he reshapes the breast mound by elevating and repositioning the internal breast tissue to achieve a rounder, fuller, and more youthful appearance. To maintain nipple sensation, Dr. Ahmad carefully raises the nipple to a higher, natural position without detaching it from the underlying breast tissue. The size of the areola is also reduced to create a balanced and proportionate look in harmony with the reshaped breast.
Once the lifting and reshaping are complete, the patient is positioned upright so Dr. Ahmad can assess the breast shape and symmetry with precision. At this stage, minor adjustments may be made to ensure optimal aesthetic results. When the desired outcome is achieved, Dr. Ahmad meticulously closes the incisions to minimize scarring. The patient is then fitted with a supportive surgical bra and gently awakened from anesthesia, ready to begin the recovery process.
Recovery After Breast Lift
Recovery From Breast Lift Immediately After Surgery
Immediately after your breast lift procedure, you will be transferred to the post-anesthesia recovery area, where our registered nurses will closely monitor you as you wake up. Once the effects of anesthesia have mostly worn off, Dr. Ahmad will approve your discharge, and you will be able to go home with a responsible adult escort.
Recovery From Breast Lift at Home
At home, we recommend plenty of rest. You may engage in light, non-strenuous activities such as reading or watching TV, but avoid anything physically demanding.
Mild chest soreness is expected for 3–5 days, and prescribed pain medication will help manage any discomfort, which is typically less intense than many patients anticipate. Most patients feel ready to return to non-strenuous work within 5–7 days.
Follow-Up Visits After a Breast Lift
One week after surgery, Dr. Ahmad will see you for a follow-up to assess your healing and remove any stitches. He will provide specific guidance on activity restrictions, but light exercise, such as walking, is generally permitted 1–2 weeks after surgery. More strenuous activities, including weightlifting, aerobics, jogging, yoga, or martial arts, can typically be resumed around 4–6 weeks post-surgery.
During the first 1–2 weeks, your breasts may appear swollen, bruised, or slightly unnatural in shape. This is completely normal and part of the healing process. It can take 1–3 months for the breasts to fully settle into a more natural look and shape.
In addition to your initial postoperative visit, you will see Dr. Ahmad at 6 weeks and again at 6 months to monitor your progress. Postoperative photos will also be taken during certain visits to document your results and recovery journey.
Risks and Complication of Breast Lift
As with any surgery, there are risks involved with Mastopexy. Although the procedure has a low risk profile, Dr. Ahmad will make sure to go through the pertinent potential problems associated with Breast Lift surgery at the time of your consultation.
Breast Lift surgery risks may include (but are not limited to):
-
Anesthesia risks
-
Bleeding
-
Undesirable scars
-
Changes in breast or nipple sensation
-
Infection
-
Asymmetry and other cosmetic issues
Many Breast Lift complications can be avoided when the procedure is performed by a highly experienced surgeon such as Dr. Ahmad.

How Long Does the Nose Correction / Reshaping Last?For the majority of the Hyaluronic Acid to degrade, more than 12 months will be required. Nonetheless, around one-third of the injection will remain permanent.
-
How Much Does a Nose Job With Filler in Dubai Cost?The costs for a nasal injection containing up to 1 ml of Hyaluronic gel are determined based on the amount of effort and materials required. The price of this injection is AED 2000, excluding value-added tax. The doctor's schedule of fees will be used to determine the price based on the individual effort and materials used. Currently, there is a special offer available for AED 2,100, which is only valid for a few more days.
-
A Nose Correction Without Surgery - What Can I Expect?By undergoing a simple procedure known as Hyaluronic acid implantation, an experienced doctor can help you achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing nose by remodeling its tip or knob area. Observers often tend to notice any facial irregularities, and a nose that has been reshaped through this method will appear more regular and better integrated with the rest of your features, thereby giving the illusion of a smaller nose.
-
Which Hyaluronic Gel (Filler) Is Used?We typically utilize a gel containing synthetic Hyaluronic Acid, which mimics the natural water-retaining substance produced by our bodies. The difference between this synthetic form and the body's own version lies in its chemical stabilization through linking molecules. Other fillers with higher viscosity are less suitable for correcting nasal shape, particularly permanent ones on the nasal ridge, as they either have an unsuitable consistency or are prone to rejection by the body. The gel-like consistency of Hyaluronic Acid allows for a visible, albeit limited lifting effect beneath taut nasal skin. In the event of need, hyaluronidase can dissolve the Hyaluronic Acid gel.
-
How Does a Nose Job Without Surgery Proceed?To begin the procedure, the nose will be locally numbed as required. The Hyaluronic Acid gel will then be accurately implanted beneath the skin to correct the specific needs of the nose. If a local anesthetic is administered, its effects may last for approximately an hour following the treatment. There is no need for downtime or recovery time, and you may resume your daily activities right away.
-
What Unwanted Side Effects Are Possible?It is likely that the treated area will experience swelling and redness after being treated with Hyaluronic Acid. After a nose correction, small hematomas may appear, but they are not comparable to the significant bleeding that may occur after a Rhinoplasty operation. These hematomas can be concealed with make-up and typically disappear within three days. While vigorous massaging may shift the position of the Hyaluronic Acid slightly, it should only be done by the treating physician. Prior to treatment, you will receive information on the potential side effects of any intervention that affects the integrity of the human body, including rare but possible effects on blood and nerve supply, as well as the wound itself. These risks are similar to those associated with the injection of premium-quality Hyaluronic Acid for wrinkle treatment. If you are unsatisfied with the results, Nose Fillers can be dissolved using an appropriate enzyme.
-
Is the Non-Surgical Rhinoplasty with Nose Filler Safe?Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in human tissue and doesn't cause rejection reactions. When working with this substance, we use small amounts and needles. Nevertheless, any invasive procedure carries some degree of risk, and the safety of a non-medically necessary treatment should be paramount. Even a relatively safe procedure should not be promoted as entirely risk-free. The injection of Hyaluronic Acid into tissue involves the implantation of a foreign substance, which has mechanical, osmotic, and growth-modulating effects.
-
Is a Nose Job Without Surgery Painful?By administering a local anesthetic to delicate areas, the procedure can be comfortably endured, although some mild discomfort may still be present. Patients may have differing levels of pain perception; for instance, those who underwent a nose correction using Hyaluronic Acid gel may experience temporary, slight discomfort. By employing basic pain medication, we aim to maximize your level of comfort.

The clinic employs the finest, top-quality filler available. To obtain the precise expense for your nose correction, a complimentary consultation at EDEN AESTHETICS Clinic in Dubai is recommended.
-
When Can I See the Result?Although the nose may be slightly swollen immediately after the treatment, the results will be visible. However, it is only after the swelling subsides, the redness vanishes, and any small Hematomas disappear that a conclusive evaluation of the outcome can be made. This evaluation typically takes place after ten days.
-
Am I a Suitable Candidate for a Nose Correction Without Surgery?To achieve a successful course of therapy with Hyaluronic Acid treatment, it is essential to have realistic expectations and a clear comprehension of the limits associated with this cosmetic-aesthetic procedure, such as consistency, breakdown, and tissue response.
