Lift and reshape sagging breasts
What Is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?
Breast Lift (mastopexy) is a procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the tissue to raise the breasts to a higher position. It also moves the nipple and areola up when they are down. The surgery doesn’t really alter the size of the breast, so the breasts retain their original size unless the augmentation is performed (implants) or reduction (removal of some fat or breast).
Why Do Women Have a Breast Lift?
Breasts change over time. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss and ageing all play a part. Most women who come in for a lift mention one or more of these:
- Sagging. The breasts sit lower on the chest than they used to.
- Less firmness. Pregnancy and weight changes stretch the skin, and it doesn’t bounce back the way it once did.
- Nipples pointing down. As the breasts drop, the nipples drop with them.
- Loose, stretched skin. The extra skin can leave the breasts looking uneven or empty.
- Weight loss. After losing a lot of weight, the breasts lose volume and droop.
- Mild asymmetry. A lift can sometimes even out the position of the two breasts.
If pregnancy is the main reason, a breast lift can be combined with a tummy tuck as part of a mommy makeover.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift in Dubai?
A breast lift suits women who are unhappy with the shape and position of their breasts because of sagging. Good candidates often have:
- Sagging breasts with nipples that sit low or point downward
- Stretched or loose breast skin
- A stable weight, ideally for several months before surgery
- Good general health
- A non-smoking lifestyle, or a willingness to stop smoking before and after surgery
- Realistic expectations about scars and results
Breasts can change again with future pregnancies and breastfeeding. Dr. Sohrab therefore advises you on timing during your consultation. If you already have implants, he may discuss breast implant removal alongside a lift.
Areas Treated with Mastopexy
The Breast lift in Dubai concentrates on the parts of the breast that have become droopy, loose, and altered in position.
- Skin of Breast: Removal of extra skin for improvement in breast contouring.
- Tissue of Breast: Manipulation of existing tissues to improve breast shape.
- Nipple and Areola: Repositioning of nipple and areola if necessary.
- Breast Contour: The Breast Lift improves breast position and contour.
Breast Lift Techniques
There are three different ways surgeons can perform a breast lift. Dr. Sohrab selects the one that corresponds to your level of sagging, skin tone and the location of your nipples.
Periareolar (Donut) Breast Lift
The cut goes around the edge of areola. It is very suitable for mild sagging and will leave a scar line that is barely visible in the area around the nipple. According to a systematic review of periareolar mastopexy, it is a frequently performed procedure.
Vertical (Lollipop) Breast Lift
This cut goes around the areola and down to the breast crease. It is commonly used in surgeons’ procedures for moderate sagging breasts, as it is capable of removing more skin, reshaping the breast more so than a periareolar lift.
Anchor (Inverted-T) Breast Lift
The incision encircles the areola, extends to the crease and continues around the crease. This method is suitable for larger and more extensive skin folds or sagging of the skin.
To sum up: A periareolar lift is suitable for slight sagging, and has a scar along the edge of the areola. For moderate sagging, a vertical lift works well, and creates a vertical crease down to the body. An anchor lift is suited to a very large amount of skin or a lot of sagging and has a third scar on the crease.

What to Expect After Breast Lift Surgery
Following surgery, there is swelling, which resolves within a few days. The improvement in the position of the breast is immediate. To achieve the best results, it is important to follow Dr. Sohrab’s post-operative instructions.
As swelling goes down, the shape and position of your breasts becomes more or less permanent. Dr. Sohrab needs to examine you to see how you are healing and to give you additional after-care instructions.
Breast Lift With or Without Implants
A lift repositions your breast tissue, while implants add volume. Your goals decide which route fits.
- Lift only: you want a higher, firmer shape and you are happy with your current size.
- Lift with implants: you also want more volume. Read about augmentation mastopexy or breast augmentation in Dubai.
- Lift with reduction: you also want a smaller size. See breast reduction in Dubai.
Breast Lift Surgery Recovery
Complete recovery from a breast lift in Dubai takes some months, and the first days are the most uncomfortable.
You will need to take some time off from your normal activities to heal and to take care of your incisions.During your recovery you will need to refrain from physical activities that pull on your breast or upper body, and exercise will need to wait until Dr. Sohrab says it is alright for you to start working out again.
Dr. Sohrab will want to see you a few times after your surgery to make sure that your scars are improving and to see how your breasts are positioning themselves.
How a Breast Lift Is Performed, Step by Step
- First, a consultation. Dr. Sohrab examines you, goes over your medical history and listens to what you want changed.
- You’re given the anaesthesia you agreed on at that visit.
- Dr. Sohrab Moradi makes the incisions. Where they go depends on your technique.
- Next comes the lift itself. He removes the extra skin, reshapes the tissue underneath and raises the breast.
- If your nipple and areola have slipped down, he moves them up too. Not everyone needs this.
- The incisions are closed and you wake up in dressings and a support bra. Keep it on for as long as he says.
How to Prepare for a Breast Lift
- Tell Dr. Sohrab about every medication and supplement you take, even the ones that seem harmless.
- Smokers will be asked to stop. Do it when he tells you to.
- Keep your weight steady until the surgery.
- Get someone to help you at home for the first few days.
- Book time off work, and don’t plan on driving yourself home.
- Stick to the fasting and pre-op instructions exactly.
Will Breast Lift Surgery Leave Scars?
Scar is definitely one of the outcomes of Mastopexy surgery since it involves making cuts. Scars occur depending on the method used and the amount of lift needed.
Scars are more visible as they belong to the healing process but gradually they become less visible because of the healing of the skin. Good care of wounds and adherence to Dr. Sohrab’s instructions help the healing process.
What Results Can You Expect from Breast Lift Surgery?
The main effect of this surgery is a more pleasing and youthful position of the breast. In order to achieve this result, excess skin is removed and the existing tissue is reformed to give the breast a more youthful and uplifted appearance.
Once you have healed completely, you can expect your breast to continue to change and sag over time due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and simple aging.
Breast Lift Surgery Cost In Dubai
There are numerous reasons that impact the cost of a procedure. Dr. Sohrab will review these with you in detail at your consultation.
Some of the reasons may include:
- The technique and incision pattern of the procedure.
- The degree of sagging of the breast.
- The amount of extra or redundant skin of the breast.
Other fees associated with the procedure.
Risks and Safety
Breast lift surgery is a common and generally safe procedure. A systematic review of mastopexy without implants found it generally reliable, with unsatisfactory breast shape in only 1.3% of patients. Your own risk depends on your overall health, skin quality and degree of sagging.
Every surgery carries risks. Dr. Sohrab explains each one before you decide:
- Bleeding: blood can collect under the skin and may need treatment.
- Infection: bacteria can enter an incision, and you may need antibiotics.
- Permanent scarring: scars fade but never disappear.
- Change in sensation: nipple or breast sensation can change, temporarily or permanently.
- Wound opening: an incision can open slightly and heal more slowly.
- Asymmetry: the two breasts can differ slightly in shape or position.
- Change in breast function: breastfeeding ability can be affected.
- Anaesthesia risks: your anaesthetist reviews these with you.
- Further surgery: some patients need a revision. See breast revision surgery.
Healing improves when you follow instructions before and after surgery. Regular visits with Dr. Sohrab let him check your progress and answer your questions.

- Correction of Breast Asymmetry: Other modifications can be made to correct any discrepancies in the breast size and/or shape.
- Correction of Nipples/Areolas: Other modifications can be made if the patient is concerned about nipples or areolas.
