Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Dubai

What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure performed to address breast drooping caused by factors such as ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes. The procedure involves removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple to achieve a more lifted and balanced appearance, without significantly altering breast volume.

In Dubai, breast lift surgery is performed within regulated healthcare settings when carried out by qualified surgeons at licensed aesthetic clinics, in accordance with clinical governance standards set by the Dubai Health Authority.

Breast Lift Techniques

Breast lift surgery can be performed using a range of techniques, selected according to the degree of sagging, breast shape, skin elasticity, and nipple position. The chosen approach determines incision placement, degree of tissue reshaping, and overall aesthetic outcome.

Commonly used breast lift techniques include:

• Crescent breast lift, intended for minimal sagging and involving a small incision above the areola to achieve subtle elevation

• Periareolar breast lift, used for mild to moderate sagging, allowing repositioning through an incision around the areola

• Vertical (lollipop) breast lift, suitable for moderate sagging, combining reshaping with improved projection and contour

• Anchor (inverted-T) breast lift, applied in cases of more advanced sagging where extensive reshaping and lifting are required

Technique selection is guided by anatomical assessment and surgical planning, with the aim of achieving stable results, balanced proportions, and controlled scar placement.

Breast Lift (Mastopexy) With or Without Implants

A breast lift may be performed either on its own or in combination with breast implants, depending on the patient’s starting breast volume and desired outcome.

• A breast lift without implants focuses exclusively on repositioning and reshaping existing tissue, making it suitable for patients who are comfortable with their breast size but concerned about drooping or loss of firmness.

• A combined breast lift with implants may be considered when breast sagging is accompanied by volume loss, allowing both elevation and fullness to be addressed in a single procedure.

The decision to include implants is made during consultation after evaluating tissue quality, chest structure, and long-term aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift (Mastopexy) surgery offers several aesthetic benefits, including:

• Elevated breast position

• Improved firmness and contour

• Better breast symmetry

• A more youthful and balanced breast appearance

While a breast lift enhances shape and position, it does not halt the natural ageing process or prevent future changes caused by gravity or weight variation. Understanding these factors supports informed decision-making.

Cost of Breast Lift in Dubai

The cost of breast lift surgery in Dubai varies based on multiple clinical factors, such as:

• Technique required to achieve correction

• Extent of sagging and tissue reshaping

• Surgeon expertise

• Facility standards and aftercare provisions

Accurate treatment planning and cost assessment are provided following a professional consultation.

Recovery Timeline and Results

Recovery following breast lift surgery is typically gradual and varies depending on the technique used and individual healing response.

General recovery milestones include:

• Initial swelling and discomfort during the early post-operative period

• Return to light daily activities within approximately one week

• Progressive improvement in breast shape as swelling subsides

• Ongoing scar maturation and tissue settling over subsequent months

Final results continue to refine as healing progresses, with long-term appearance influenced by tissue quality, lifestyle factors, and natural ageing.
