After massive weight loss, there is excess inelastic skin in female breasts and adjacent areas of the armpit. Excess skin in the chest area appears on the front of the chest (sagging chest), the side chest wall (lateral skin sacs), and the back (posterior skin sacs). Many patients feel severely restricted and even perceive this to impair their quality of life. They no longer want to wear tight-fitting dresses or T-shirts. A body lift in Dubai can resolve their issue.
- Breast lift : If there is excess soft tissue after the fat mass has been reduced through weight loss, the excess skin must be removed with a breast lifting procedure. The breast lift surgery corrects the drooping (ptosis) of the breasts and the orientation of the nipples and finally reshapes the breasts.
Breast lift surgery, medically termed as mastopexy, is a part of upper body lift in Dubai that helps to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It is a popular procedure among women unhappy with their breasts’ size, shape, or sag due to ageing, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations.

Breast Lift Technique Options:
Several techniques can be used to perform a breast lift surgery, and the choice of technique depends on the extent of sagging and the patient’s aesthetic goals. Some of the most common breast lift surgery techniques used in Dubai include:
Breast enlargement/augmentation: – The initial stage of breast sagging (ptosis) is due to volume loss – fat or breast glandular tissue-. Therefore volume replacement is a very good option to correct the missing volume. This can be achieve by fat transfer (Lipofilling), breast augmentation with silicone implant or a combination of fat transfer and silicone implant (“Hibrid-technique”).
Periareolar or “Donut” Lift – This technique involves incision around the areola and removing a doughnut-shaped piece of skin. The remaining skin is then tightened, and the nipple is repositioned higher on the breast.
Vertical or “Lollipop” Lift – This technique involves making an incision surrounding the areola and down the front of the breast. The excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is lifted and tightened to reshape the breast.
Anchor or “Inverted T” Lift – This technique involves incision around the areola, down the front of the breast, and along the crease. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining skin is lifted and tightened to reshape the breast.

Why do you need breast reduction?
Women who have large breasts often experience physical discomfort and emotional distress. The excess weight of the breasts can cause back and neck pain, shoulder pain, and posture problems. Large breasts can also cause skin irritation, rashes, and infections.

Different types of breast reduction surgery in Dubai
There are different types of breast reduction surgery, depending on the amount of tissue and skin that needs to be removed and the desired outcome. The most common types of breast reduction include:
Vertical scar breast reduction: This type of breast reduction involves making an incision around the areola and a vertical incision down the breast. This technique allows the surgeon to remove excess breast tissue and reshape the breast while maintaining its natural contour.
Anchor scar breast reduction: This technique involves making an incision around the areola, a vertical incision down the breast, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. This technique is used for women with severe breast sagging and excess skin.
Horizontal scar breast reduction: Especially in very large breast the horizontal scar breast reduction technique offers the advantage of not having the visible vertical scar. The resulting scar is well hidden at the inframammary crease. This techniques is only offered in very few placed. Prof. robert Hierner is one of the protagonists of this technique.
Explaining the breast reduction procedure
Breast reduction surgery is commonly performed under general anaesthesia and takes 2-4 hours. First, incisions are made in the breast, removing excess tissue, fat, and skin. The remaining breast tissue is then reshaped to create a more natural-looking breast contour.
The surgeon may also reposition the nipples to a higher position to improve the overall appearance of the breasts. The incisions are then closed with stitches.
During the procedure, the surgeon will take steps to avoid disrupting the function of the milk ducts and the nipples to ensure the patient can breastfeed after the surgery. However, there is a small risk of losing sensation in the nipples or breastfeeding difficulties.
What to expect
After breast reduction surgery, patients may experience discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Pain medication and a compression garment can help to manage these symptoms. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activity for several weeks and follow the surgeon’s instructions for wound care and post-operative care.
Patients can expect a significant breast size and shape improvement immediately after the surgery. However, it may take several months for the final results to become visible as the breasts heal and settle into their new shape.
