WHAT IS BREAST LIFT SURGERY?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgery that reshapes and lifts breasts and nipples to provide a firmer and more youthful-looking appearance of the breasts. It is beneficial for patients who are satisfied with their breast size but wish to improve their firmness or shape. A breast uplift surgery lifts saggy or droopy breasts that are left after breastfeeding, aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. Sagging breasts can also develop because of genetic predisposition, and gradually, breasts lose their shape and firmness; the nipples point downward or are placed below the crease where the breasts meet the ribcage.

During our breast lift procedure, our experienced Dubai breast lift surgeons: 

  •     Remove excess skin
  •     Reshape breast tissue to improve breast contours
  •     Position the nipples and areolas into the right symmetry
  •     Reduce and reshape the size of areolae if necessary

WHAT DOES BREAST LIFT SURGERY INVOLVE?

When the patient decides to undergo plastic surgery and arrives at Lucia Clinic, she first consults with one of our breast lift Dubai surgeons. They discuss the patient’s concerns, medical history, and expectations. It is important to be completely open with the surgeon and answer the questions thoroughly. This way, the surgeon can create a customized procedure plan that will specifically address the patient’s needs and deliver the best possible results.

The surgeon also inquires about possible allergies, past medical issues, medications, herbal supplements, or vitamins that the patient is taking.

After these questions are answered, the surgeon examines the patient’s breasts:

● Measures the breasts’ size and shape
● Assesses the breasts’ skin and tissue quality and quantity
● Examines the position of areolae and nipples

After that, the surgeon discusses the surgical techniques and methods and determines the breast shape and size that will be accomplished after the surgery.

It is important for the patient to fully understand everything that the surgery involves, including all the potential risks and the procedure results. Trust that our breast lift Dubai specialists will give you all the information you need and create a tailored surgery plan for the best results.

WHY CHOOSE BREAST LIFT SURGERY

The breasts sagging starts when the skin and ligaments stretch too much. This results in less support for the breast tissue beneath the skin and makes the breasts sag lower on the chest. This shape of the breasts is less aesthetically appealing because the breasts don’t appear as perky as before.

Our breast lift Dubai experts successfully solve the issue of sagging breasts because a part of the skin on the breasts is removed, and breast tissue is lifted on the chest wall. Also, if necessary, the areolae are resized. Once the extra skin is removed, breasts are firmer and youthful-looking again.

This surgery can also make the breast more symmetrical, especially regarding the position of the nipples. Breast lift surgery provides greater self-confidence to the patients, and they can finally enjoy wearing clothes that fit them properly.

Another benefit of this surgery is that it can be combined with breast augmentation to improve the shape and add more volume to the breasts.

Another option is fat grafting breast augmentation, a procedure that will give you a modest increase in breast size while also benefiting from body contouring in the areas where fat is removed.

BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT SURGERY

The main advantage of this surgery is a change in shape, contours, and feel of the breasts. A perkier look of the breasts can be restored, as well as firmness and a younger appearance. The patients return their confidence and finally feel good in their bodies. Their clothes fit better, and no longer need to wear a full-support bra.

Maybe this sounds a bit surprising, but breast lift surgery can improve physical health. The weight is taken from the chest, and the neck or back pain is reduced. Also, if there was skin irritation present under the breast, that should stop after the surgery. Rely on our breast lift Dubai surgeons to restore the attractive shape of your breasts and help you increase your self-esteem.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A BREAST LIFT 

Most patients who wish to improve the look of their breasts are good candidates for this surgery.

Generally, the patients should:

  •  Be older than 18
  • Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Be realistic about the expectations
  • Be physically and emotionally ready for the operation
  • Have a stable weight with a BMI of less than 30
  • Be non-smokers

The patients must stay at their target weight for 3 months before the surgery because significant weight loss or gain may affect the outcomes of the breast lift.

It is also advised that the patients choose to undergo this procedure after having their family because breast lift may affect breastfeeding. The incisions made during the surgery may impact the ability to nurse. Moreover, getting pregnant after the operation can affect the outcomes of breast lift surgery because the sagging can return after the pregnancy.

Breast lift surgery won’t dramatically change the size of the breasts. If this is what your goal is, your breast lift Dubai surgeon will suggest a combination with breast augmentation surgery. With breast implants, the upper part of the breast will appear fuller because a breast lift can’t add more volume to the breasts.

WHAT ARE THE POTENTIAL RISKS OF A BREAST LIFT

As breast lift surgery is an invasive procedure, there are possible complications and risks. It is important that the patients fully understand them. Also, it is important to take extra precautions in a place with a hot climate like Dubai’s until the wound heals completely.

Healing after surgery in a hot Dubai climate can present some challenges, such as an increased risk of dehydration, swelling, and discomfort. It’s essential to stay well-hydrated, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the surgical area clean and dry. Wearing loose, breathable clothing can help prevent irritation and reduce the chance of infection. Maintaining a cool indoor environment and following your breast lift Dubai surgeon’s instructions will also support a smoother recovery process.

Nevertheless, some of the breast lift surgery risks include:

  • Mild bruising and bleeding
  • Infection
  • Numbness
  • Scars
  • Seroma
  • Sagging

Bruising and Bleeding

These complications are frequent after surgery. Excessive bleeding may happen but very rarely. In case of excessive bleeding, the patient’s breasts feel tight and are very swollen. If this happens, the patient must return to the hospital, where she will be properly cared for. When resolved promptly, bleeding shouldn’t affect the final outcome of the breast lift.

The risk of infection

There is a possibility of mild infection in the wound, which can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Every surgery can bring a risk of infection, and a breast lift is no exception. It is important to inform the surgeon if the patient notices any signs of infection.

There might be more severe infections, but this is very rare. The signs of more serious infections include:

  • a temperature over 38 degrees
  • major redness around the scar
  • bad-smelling fluid that comes from the incision
  • pain that can’t be relieved with medications

Numbness of the breasts

This is one of the most frequent risks of this surgery. Breasts can feel too numb or have altered sensations. This happens around the incision, nipple, or areolae. Once the nerves in the breast tissue and skin heal, these sensations should stop. The healing process may last for a few months.

Scars

Since the surgeon needs to make incisions to perform the breast uplift, scars are unavoidable. These scars are generally mild and fade within 12 to 18 months. After this time, the scars will fade to what they will be like forever.

In some cases, more severe scars may appear. They are called keloid or hypertrophic scars. Some patients have a genetic predisposition to develop keloid scars. In that case, the patient must inform the surgeon about this condition.

Seroma or a pocket of fluid

This pocket appears beneath the skin around the incision site. Seromas can develop 7 to 10 days post-surgery. Typically, a seroma-affected area will be swollen. They can be resolved without any intervention, or they may need to be drained by the surgeon.

The skin starts sagging again

Factors like aging, gravity, weight gain, or loss can affect the outcomes of breast lift surgery. The skin starts to sag again, and the patient can decide to have another breast lift in Dubai to make the breasts firm again.

    FREQUENT QUESTIONS

    • HOW TO PREPARE FOR A BREAST LIFT IN DUBAI

      It is very important that the patient arranges for somebody to drive her home after the surgery. The patient won’t be able to drive because of anesthesia. Also, somebody should stay with the patient for the first 24 hours in case of any complications.

      The breast lift Dubai surgeon can recommend the patient to avoid smoking because the recovery will be faster. Nicotine should be avoided at least for 6 weeks before and after the surgery.

      Since the patient needs to rest after the surgery, it is recommended to finish all household chores prior to the surgery. The patient should avoid any reaching up and stretching in order not to cause any damage to the stitches.

    • WHAT HAPPENS ON THE DAY OF THE BREAST LIFT SURGERY?

      When the patient arrives at the hospital, before the surgery, the surgeon draws guide marks on the patient’s breasts to show the patient the goals of the procedure. The patient will receive anesthesia - either general or local. It all depends on the agreement that the surgeon and the patient have reached prior to the surgery.

      The surgeon then cleans the patient’s chest to keep it sterile and avoid infections. Then the surgery can start. The surgeon makes incisions and begins with the breast lift.

      There are different incisions that the surgeon can make, all depending on what is expected from the breast lift Dubai procedure. The choice of the proper incision depends on the breast size and shape, the level of skin sagging, the position and the size of areolae, and the quantity and quality of the breasts’ skin and tissue.

      The incisions can possibly affect breastfeeding and breast sensation and they produce a scar. However, most scars are left close to the areola and beneath the breast and should fade away eventually and become almost invisible.

    • WHAT TYPES OF INCISIONS ARE THERE FOR A BREAST LIFT?

      INVERTED T OR ANCHOR
      With this incision, the surgeon is able to correct a great amount of sagging skin. The surgeon can use it for large breasts and if necessary combine the surgery with breast reduction. This incision is most frequently used.

      CIRCUMAREOLAR INCISION
      With this incision, the surgeon can correct mild breast sagging. It is not so frequently used because only a small amount of breast lift can be done with this incision.

      At the end of the surgery, when the breast lift Dubai surgeon is finished lifting and reshaping the breast tissue, he/she closes the incisions with stitches. If the stitches are absorbable, the patient doesn’t need to return to the hospital to get them removed.

      The surgeon might put surgical drains under the skin of the breasts. The drains lower the amount of bruising and swelling. The drains are removed when the patient is ready to go home.

      In most cases, the patient can go home the same day after the surgery, but sometimes it is required for her to stay overnight.

      Generally, the surgery can last between 1.5 to 3 hours.

    • WHAT ARE THE RESULTS OF THE BREAST LIFT SURGERY?

      After the surgery, the patient can see the change in breast size and shape immediately. However, since this is an invasive procedure, it takes some time to fully see the aesthetic results. Every patient is different, so the results may vary. Usually, it takes from 6 to 12 months for the swelling to fully cease and for the scars to heal and fade.

    • WHAT IS THE POST-OPERATIVE RECOVERY PROTOCOL?

      After the surgery, the patient is given a strict recovery protocol by our breast lift Dubai aesthetic team. It is important that the patient fully understands all the protocol rules and follows them in order to speed up the healing process.

      Before the patient can leave the hospital she needs to arrange a post-surgery appointment with the surgeon. The surgeon will assess if the breasts are healing properly and treat any complications if necessary.

      Every patient is different and requires a different healing timeframe. The surgeon’s recommendations include:

      Taking time off work

      This depends on the type of work that the patient does. If it is a physically demanding job, the patients may need to take two weeks off work. On the whole, when returning to work, the patient should start off slowly and avoid hard work for 2 to 3 weeks after surgery.

      Sports and exercise

      The patient needs to rest after the surgery. However, a light exercise like walking is advisable to lower the risk of developing blood clots. The amount of exercise is advised by the surgeon.

      During the first and second weeks, the patient can’t do any sports at all. After the second week, the patient can start with cycling for example but without vigorous movement. After 6 weeks, the patient may continue with sports and exercises as before.

      Wearing compression garment

      After the breast lift Dubai surgery, the patient may need to wear a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks. It helps to reduce swelling and helps to get the best results. The surgeon will advise the patient what kind of garment to wear and how frequently.

      Taking care of the scars

      There are different ways the patient can treat scars and speed up their healing. The patient can massage the scar twice a day after the incisions have completely healed. Also, the patient should avoid exposing to the sun or going to sunbeds.

      Other recommendations include sleeping on the back to avoid swelling and keeping a healthy and balanced diet. The patient should avoid food with too much salt or sugar and drinks with caffeine. Instead, drinking plenty of water is beneficial for healing.

    • How much is a breast lift in Dubai?

      The cost of a breast lift in Dubai varies depending on individual needs and the specifics of the procedure. To receive an accurate estimate tailored to your unique requirements, it’s best to schedule a consultation with our expert team. This allows us to assess your goals and provide a detailed breakdown of the cost based on your personalized treatment plan.

    • How long does a breast lift last?

      The results of a breast lift can last for many years, but their longevity depends on various factors such as your skin's elasticity, lifestyle, and natural aging process. While our breast lift Dubai technique provides a long-lasting enhancement, it’s important to note that no surgical procedure can completely stop the effects of gravity or aging. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the results. For the best outcome, regular follow-ups with your surgeon at Lucia Clinic are recommended to monitor and maintain the results over time.

    • How painful is a breast lift?

      A breast lift is typically associated with moderate discomfort rather than severe pain. During the procedure, anesthesia ensures that you feel no pain. After a breast lift surgery in Dubai, it’s common to experience some soreness, tightness, and swelling in the treated area. Most patients describe the pain as manageable and similar to muscle soreness. Your surgeon at Lucia Clinic Dubai will provide pain management options, including prescribed medications, to help alleviate any discomfort during the recovery period. The intensity of pain usually decreases significantly within the first week, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a few weeks.

    • Can I lift my breast without surgery?

      Non-surgical options for lifting the breasts can offer some improvement in firmness and appearance, but they cannot achieve the same results as a surgical breast lift. Methods like exercises targeting the chest muscles, wearing supportive bras, and using certain skincare products can help enhance the appearance of the breasts slightly by improving muscle tone and skin elasticity. Additionally, treatments like radiofrequency or laser therapy may provide some skin tightening effects. However, these methods won't address significant sagging or reshape the breast tissue. For a more noticeable and lasting lift, surgery is the most effective option.

    • Do breast lifts sag over time?

      Yes, even after a breast lift, some degree of sagging can occur over time. This is due to natural factors such as aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, and changes in skin elasticity. While a breast lift can significantly improve the position and shape of the breasts, it cannot completely stop the aging process. However, the results of our breast lift Dubai approach are long-lasting, and many women enjoy their enhanced appearance for years. Maintaining a stable weight, wearing supportive bras, and leading a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the results and minimize future sagging. Regular check-ins with your surgeon can also help monitor the results and address any concerns as they arise.

    • How many times can you do a breast lift?

      There is no strict limit to the number of times a breast lift can be performed, but multiple procedures should be approached with caution. The need for a second or even third breast lift may arise due to factors like significant weight changes, pregnancy, or the natural aging process. However, each surgery involves removing skin and adjusting tissue, which can affect the breast’s structure. It's important to discuss with your surgeon the risks and benefits of repeated procedures, as well as the best timing for any additional lifts, to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the results.
