What is a breast lift?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure used to alter the shape of sagging breasts. The breast lift in Dubai is performed to remove excess skin and breast tissue in order to lift the breasts, making them firmer and tighter.

The need for a breast lift

A person may have sagging breasts for the following reasons:

• Genetics
• Breast-feeding
• Ageing
• Lifestyle preferences
• Weight fluctuations

Breast lift surgery in Dubai aims to achieve breast symmetry by lifting the breasts. Another aim of the procedure is to reposition the nipples and areola.

How do I choose the right surgeon for a breast lift?

The first step in a breast lift operation is to choose the right surgeon for the procedure. The board-certified plastic surgeon you choose for mastopexy in Dubai must not only be an expert, but also possess the following characteristics;

• He must have received good reviews on his work from previous candidates.
• He must be able to show you the results of his previous work through photographs.
• They should focus on the safety and care of the candidate.

They must have an excellent sense of aesthetics.

Pre-operative guidelines

Once you have chosen the best breast lift surgeon in Dubai, the next step is a detailed consultation session with your surgeon. During this session, you will discuss with him or her the possible outcomes of the surgery.

You should also discuss your expectations and the reason for the operation. You should discuss exactly what you expect from the operation. You should discuss the process, the cost of the breast lift in Dubai and all the stages of the procedure.

Before the operation, your surgeon will check your medical history and also check whether you are taking or have taken any medication. Your breasts will be examined by your surgeon: he or she will measure their size and examine the shape and position of your nipples and areolas.

He will also recommend a baseline mammogram and your breasts will be photographed so that you can compare the results after the operation.

Your surgeon may postpone your operation if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant or are breast-feeding. However, there are certain guidelines to follow in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

You must follow an appropriate diet and exercise regularly under the supervision of a professional. You must stop smoking at least three weeks before the operation.

You must stop taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs or herbal food supplements to minimise the risk of excessive bleeding during the operation. You should keep hydrated and stop drinking alcohol.

Mastopexy surgery

Breast lift surgery in Dubai is performed under general anaesthetic and lasts an hour or less. It is performed on an outpatient basis and the candidate is allowed to go home after the operation.

There are, however, different techniques used to perform a breast lift operation, which are explained below;

• Crescent Lift – This involves removing the crescent of skin at the top of the nipple, and is a minimally invasive technique.
• Benelli Lift – This technique involves removing the skin or tissue around the areola by making a doughnut-shaped incision.
• Lollipop Lift – This is an incision around the areola that extends vertically downwards to the fold of the breast.
• Anchor Lift – An incision is made around the areola which extends downwards to the fold of the breast.

During the operation, incisions are made depending on the technique used. The surgeon then makes the desired changes, i.e. reshaping and lifting the underlying breast tissue, repositioning the areola and nipples, removing excess skin or reducing the size of enlarged areolas.

These modifications are carried out using surgical instruments. The incisions are then closed with sutures.

Breast lift surgery can be performed in combination with breast augmentation or reduction. Note that mastopexy in Dubai will not change the size of the breasts; it merely lifts sagging breasts.

Recovery

Candidates undergoing a breast lift in Dubai need to rest for a few weeks to fully recover. As the procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, you will be able to leave the hospital after the operation and may feel dizzy due to the effect of the anaesthetic.

You will feel extremely tired for the first few days after the operation and you will need to take the medication prescribed by your doctor regularly. Swelling and bruising are quite common after the operation, but will subside within two weeks.

You may experience absolute numbness in the affected areas for at least six weeks after the operation. Your scars will appear red and bumpy but will resolve after a few weeks.

Your stitches will be removed by your surgeon one week after the operation. You will be able to continue your usual activities, but full recovery will take some time.

Post-operative instructions

You must take your prescribed medication regularly. You will be given a surgical bra, which you must use 24 hours a day for a specified period. You will be advised to sleep on your back and avoid sexual intercourse for a few weeks after the operation. You should avoid bathing or washing your hair completely. Fluid drainage tubes will be placed near your incisions and removed after four days of surgery.

Avoid vigorous activities such as exertion and lifting heavy objects for a fortnight. Your dressing will be removed five days after the operation. Some stitches dissolve on their own, but others must be removed two weeks after the operation. Your doctor may suggest a gel for your incisions to promote healing. Throughout the breast lift recovery process, keep your breasts and incisions out of the sun.

Risks and complications

Like any other surgical procedure, breast lifting also involves certain risks. However, it is very important to discuss these with your breast lift surgeon before the operation. The possible side effects of breast lift surgery are as follows;

• Scars – There will be permanent scars after the procedure, but these will fade after two years and can easily be hidden by a bra.
• Altered skin sensation – There may be numbness in the affected areas; this usually returns after several weeks, but can be permanent in some cases.
• Breastfeeding – After surgery, some women find it difficult to produce enough milk for breastfeeding.
• Infection – Wounds may become infected for one reason or another, but antibiotics will be prescribed to prevent this.
• Allergies – This rarely happens, but your skin may be allergic to the tape, solutions or other relevant medication. In this case, you will need additional treatment to deal with allergic reactions.
