1. What is the difference between a breast lift and an augmentation?
A breast lift picks up and reshapes sagging breasts.
A breast augmentation makes your breasts bigger by adding implants or fat.
You can lift, enlarge, or combine both based on your goals
2. Can I combine a breast lift with implants?
Yes, you can. Getting a breast lift with implants fixes the shape and adds volume at the same time. This combination works really well if you've had children, breastfed, or gone through weight loss.
3. How long do the results of a breast lift last?
A breast lift in Dubai usually lasts 10–15 years or more. Results last longer if you maintain a stable weight and stay healthy.
4. Is a breast lift painful?
You might experience mild to moderate discomfort for a few days.
Your surgeon will give you pain medication and a support bra to heal comfortably.
5. Will I be left with visible scars after breast lift surgery?
Yes, any surgical breast lift has some scars.
Scars fade away with time and become almost invisible.
6. Can I breastfeed after a mastopexy procedure?
Yes, most women can still breastfeed, although it depends on how the surgery was done.
Let your surgeon know if you're planning to have kids later.
7. When can I start exercising again after surgery?
After 2–3 weeks, you can do light things.
Don't go to the gym or lift heavy stuff for six weeks.
8. What is the cost of a breast lift in Dubai?
In Dubai, a breast lift usually costs between AED 25,000 and AED 35,000.
If you add implants or extra procedures, the cost goes up.
Many clinics offer installments or financing plans.
9. Is a nonsurgical breast lift effective?
Non-surgical breast lifts (using threads, radio frequency, or ultrasound) are only effective for minor sagging.
A surgical breast lift gives longer-lasting and more defined results for moderate to severe sagging.
10. When will I see breast lift results?
You will see improvements immediately after the surgery, but it will take 3 to 6 months for your breasts to fully heal and get back to their normal form.
11. What makes a lollipop lift distinct from an anchor lift?
Lollipop lift: Two cuts, one around the nipple and one down to the crease, for moderate drooping.
Anchor lift: Three incisions (one along the crease) for severe sagging.
12. Does a breast lift make breasts smaller?
Not really. It tightens and reshapes tissue. Some tissue removal might make them slightly smaller, but for actual size reduction, you'd need a breast reduction.
13. How do I prepare for breast lift surgery in Dubai?
Pre-surgery:
- Stop smoking and stay away from medicines that thin your blood.
- Undergo lab tests, and follow pre-op instructions.
