A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts to a more youthful, elevated position on the chest. Dr. Saba Al Marush performs breast lifts in Dubai using techniques tailored to each patient’s degree of ptosis (sagging), including periareolar, vertical (lollipop), and inverted-T (anchor) approaches. The procedure removes excess skin, repositions the nipple-areola complex higher on the breast mound, and reshapes breast tissue to create a firmer, more aesthetically pleasing contour. A breast lift can be combined with augmentation using implants or fat transfer for patients who also desire increased volume. Surgery takes 2–3 hours under general anaesthesia, with an initial recovery period of 1–2 weeks. Patients wear a supportive surgical bra for 4–6 weeks post-operatively. Results are long-lasting, though natural ageing, weight changes, and gravity will continue to affect breast shape over time. A consultation determines the optimal technique.
A breast lift (mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a more youthful, elevated contour. Dr Saba Al Marush — French-board-certified female plastic surgeon in Dubai — delivers natural-looking mastopexy results tailored to your anatomy.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to reshape and support the breast. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful, forward-facing position. Unlike breast augmentation, which increases size with implants, a breast lift primarily addresses sagging and shape — though many patients combine both for lifting and volume.
Dr Saba assesses your breast anatomy, skin quality and degree of ptosis (sagging) to recommend the most appropriate technique — from a minimal peri-areolar lift to a full anchor lift for more significant correction.
You may benefit from a breast lift if your breasts have lost shape due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations or genetics. The ideal candidate is at a stable weight, in good health, and has realistic expectations.
Private assessment of your anatomy, degree of ptosis, goals and technique options — honestly discussed.
Dr Saba selects the optimal lift technique based on your breast shape, skin quality and desired outcome.
2–3 hours under general anaesthesia. Excess skin removed, tissue reshaped, nipple repositioned.
Surgical bra for support. Light activities at 1–2 weeks, full routine by 4–6 weeks, final shape at 3–6 months.
Peri-areolar (donut) lift — A circular incision around the areola for mild sagging. Minimal scarring, subtle correction.
Vertical (lollipop) lift — The most common technique. Incisions around the areola and vertically to the crease. Significant reshaping with moderate scarring.
Inverted-T (anchor) lift — For severe ptosis. Adds a horizontal incision along the crease for maximum lifting and reshaping.
Dr Saba can also combine a breast lift with implants for patients who want both elevation and added volume.
Week 1: Rest at home, wear a supportive surgical bra, manage swelling with prescribed medication.
Weeks 2–4: Gradual return to light daily activities. Avoid heavy lifting.
Weeks 4–6: Most patients return to work and normal routines.
3–6 months: Final results become visible as swelling resolves and scars begin to fade. Scars continue improving for 12–18 months.
Breast lift costs depend on the technique, whether implants are added, and facility fees. Dr Saba provides personalised, all-inclusive quotes during consultation. See the breast lift cost guide.
Scars are placed in discreet locations and fade significantly over 12–18 months. Dr Saba uses precise closure techniques and recommends scar management protocols.
Breast lift results are long-lasting, though natural ageing and gravity continue. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras prolongs results.
Yes. Many patients combine mastopexy with breast augmentation for both lifting and added volume.
Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks and full routines by 4–6 weeks. Final results are visible at 3–6 months.
Many women can breastfeed after a lift, but some techniques may affect milk ducts. Discuss this with Dr Saba if future breastfeeding is a priority.
