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.

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.
