Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in Abu Dhabi – Elyzee Hospital
A Breast Lift, clinically called Mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that lifts and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. Over time, aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, gravity, and weight fluctuations can cause breasts to lose firmness and descend. A breast lift restores a youthful, perky appearance and improves contour and symmetry.
At Elyzee Hospital, our focus is on achieving natural, balanced, and long-lasting results tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Consultation & Preparation
During your consultation, the surgeon will:
- Evaluate breast size, shape, nipple position, and skin elasticity
- Discuss goals and expected results
- Recommend the best technique based on degree of sagging (ptosis)
- Review medical history
Before surgery, you may need to stop certain medications, quit smoking temporarily, and follow pre-operative instructions provided by the surgeon.
What Happens During the Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
- Anesthesia: IV sedation or general anesthesia is administered for safety and comfort.
- Incisions: Incision type depends on the level of sagging and may be around the areola, vertical, or anchor-shaped.
- Tissue reshaping: The breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to restore firmness and contour.
- Nipple repositioning: The nipple and areola are moved higher for a more youthful position.
- Incision closure: Sutures are placed carefully to minimize scarring and support the new breast shape.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Wear a surgical bra or compression garment as directed
- Swelling and mild discomfort are normal and improve over time
- Most patients return to work within 7–14 days
- Avoid heavy lifting and exercise for 4–6 weeks
Follow-up appointments at Elyzee Hospital ensure that healing progresses properly.
Results
Once healing is complete, breasts appear lifted, more youthful, and symmetrical. Results are long-lasting and can be maintained with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
