If you are seeking fuller, firm, and youthful-looking breasts, then a combined Breast Augmentation and Lift (Mastopexy) is the perfect option for you. For some, Breast Augmentation is designed to address aesthetics; however, the surgery also offers women a reconstruction option.
Our board-certified surgeon at Hortman Clinic in Dubai will discuss the risks, advantages, and various surgical options available with you. Together, you will decide the best procedure and implant option for you and your lifestyle. With this surgery, your nipple position is corrected; it no longer faces downward, and the implant adds volume, creating a full, youthful-looking physique.
The combined procedure is one of the most popular breast surgeries, offering patients long-lasting results with minimal scarring. Here at our clinic in Dubai, we offer the best quality and outcomes for all our patients.
During your consultation at our aesthetic clinic in Dubai, you will discuss your expectations and your lifestyle. Our plastic surgeon will consider all of these and your overall physique and create the best solution for you. There are several criteria your plastic surgeon will look at to evaluate if you are a candidate for the procedure:
Even though most women qualify for a Breast Augmentation and lift, it is imperative that you are open and honest with your plastic surgeon. Multiple other options are available if an implant is not the right fit for you. The types of implants used depend on your desired outcome and lifestyle; our plastics surgeon here at Hortman Clinic will discuss your options, the longevity, and the result of each implant. From there, you will agree on your surgical plan.
You will need to meet our expert breast plastic surgeon for a consultation. You will review your expectations, lifestyle, and surgical options during this time. You will also need to complete your medical photographs that will go on file. The various options for your implants will be discussed, including texture, roundness, or shape, such as teardrop, along with your surgical options and techniques.
During your consultation, your doctor will need you to answer questions about the following:
The doctor will also complete the following:
Breast Augmentation combines two procedures, a lift and the placement of a surgical implant, to help create a more youthful-looking breast. Your surgeon will start the procedure by making an incision to remove any excess skin. Incisions are made around the areola and one vertically from the areola to the baseline of the breast. This is sometimes referred to as a “lollipop scar.” From there, your surgeon will place your implants through the same incision areas, typically under the pectoral chest muscle. Once the implant is in place, the surgeon will ensure they are symmetrical and close the incisions
You will be bandaged with surgical tape and garments and moved to the recovery bay. After a few minutes, the team will transfer you to your room for some well-deserved rest to ensure you are pain-free and able to move around. You can usually go home the same day; however, in some cases, your doctor will suggest you spend the night. It is important to note that you might be fitted with drains to remove any excess fluid or blood. This is only in situations where there was considerable fluid build-up.
After you are discharged, it is advised and recommended to rest, your estimated recovery time is 7-14 days of home rest, and any vigorous activities should be avoided for six weeks. There will be noticeable bruising, which will fade in a few days. Your surgical garment/bra should be worn for the entire day. It can be removed when you shower. The bra supports your new implants and allows the breast to settle in the best position. It is recommended to wear it for two weeks.
The most common side effects are swelling and bruising; in time, these will subside as you heal. After a few weeks, your final results will be visible with the breasts settling in place. It is essential to see your surgeon for your follow-up visit; here, he will discuss any concerns or address your post-op care. Please do not wait for your appointment if you have any concerns over the surgical site, scars, or any area of the breast.
Breast Augmentation surgery not only addresses the size and shape of your breast but also improves body and self-esteem concerns. After your recovery period and your breasts have settled in place, the final results will be visible, now full and lifted, giving you a newfound sense of confidence and self-assurance. It is essential to take care of your health and fitness, as weight gain or weight loss can change the appearance of your breasts. If you become pregnant and plan to breastfeed, please discuss this with your surgeon.

After performing a clinical evaluation and assessing your medical history, your doctor will determine if you are a candidate for Breast Augmentation.
The FDA approved that all implants (silicone or saline) are safe for 10-20 years; however, that does not mean you need to replace the implant every 10-20 years. Most patients replace their implants safely with 1-2 replacements in a lifetime. Your surgeon will discuss the signs for implant revision surgery to ensure you are well-equipped to know when it is time. Regular breast examinations for overall breast health are recommended. Just because you had an implant procedure does not exempt you from your routine breast screening.
The Breast Augmentation procedure does not prevent you from becoming pregnant or hinder you in any way, and most women breastfeed with no complications post-procedure. Nevertheless, surgeons will recommend that you do the procedure after pregnancy as the weight gain and loss affect the look of your breasts and can compromise the results you achieve during the surgery. You can opt for a revision if you are unsatisfied with your breasts post-pregnancy.
For your preparation, our team here at Hortman Clinic in Dubai would request you to do the following:
Your Breast Augmentation and lift scars will initially look raised and red. Our board-certified plastic surgeon uses precise and thin incisions to ensure that they will be less visible once healed. As you heal, your scars will soften, fade, become less visible, and turn red/pink to white. Part of your post-surgery care will include a scar cream that will be prescribed to you.
