What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to elevate the breasts. It can also reposition the nipples and areolae for a more balanced, youthful appearance. Unlike augmentation, a lift doesn’t add volume but reshapes what’s already there – and it can be combined with implants if desired. Dr Parviz Sadigh performs breast lift surgery in Dubai for patients seeking a firmer silhouette with natural harmony and long-term results.
How the Procedure Works
Incision Types
The approach depends on the degree of sagging. Common techniques include periareolar (around the nipple), vertical (lollipop), or inverted-T (anchor). Dr Sadigh selects the most discreet option based on your anatomy and goals.
Skin & Tissue Reshaping
Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped to improve projection. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned to a more youthful height, preserving sensation where possible.
Anaesthesia & Procedure Time
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on complexity. Patients return home the same day.
Combination with Implants
If volume loss is a concern, Dr Sadigh may recommend combining the lift with breast implants or fat transfer to enhance both shape and fullness.
Who Can Benefit from a Breast Lift?
You may benefit if you:
Have sagging or drooping breasts (ptosis)
Notice stretched or downward-facing nipples
Have lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss
Feel your breasts look deflated or asymmetrical
Want reshaping without necessarily increasing size
Are in good health and near your target weight

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do breast lift results last?
Results typically last 10–15 years, depending on factors like ageing, lifestyle, and pregnancy. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve outcomes.
Is breast lift surgery painful?
Most patients experience moderate discomfort and tightness for a few days. Pain is manageable with prescribed medication and usually subsides within a week.
What are the risks involved?
Risks include infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon helps minimise complications.
What is the recovery period like?
You’ll need to rest for 3–5 days, wear a supportive garment for several weeks, and avoid heavy lifting for at least four weeks. Final results settle over 3–6 months.
Can a breast lift be combined with implants?
Yes. If you want to restore volume as well as lift, Dr Sadigh may recommend combining the procedure with implants or fat transfer for optimal shape and fullness.
Will there be visible scarring?
Scars are placed carefully around the areola and along natural breast contours. While visible initially, they fade significantly over time with proper care.
Who performs the surgery?
All breast lifts are performed by Dr Parviz Sadigh, a UK-trained Consultant Plastic Surgeon with extensive international experience in breast aesthetics.
