What is a Mastopexy
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It is designed to correct sagging and drooping breasts, a condition often caused by aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or loss of skin elasticity. Unlike breast augmentation or reduction, a breast lift focuses on improving breast position and firmness, not size—although it can be combined with implants or reduction for more comprehensive results.
During the procedure, the nipple and areola are often repositioned to a more youthful height, and the overall breast contour is reshaped for a perkier, more lifted appearance. The surgery can also reduce stretched areolas, restore symmetry between the breasts, and enhance upper pole fullness. It’s a highly personalized procedure tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Ali Soueid, a leading plastic surgeon in London, Doha, and Dubai, performs breast lift surgery with a focus on natural-looking outcomes, balanced proportions, and long-term satisfaction. Patients across all three locations benefit from a thorough consultation, precise surgical technique, and exceptional post-operative care. A breast lift can greatly enhance confidence, comfort in clothing, and body image—helping you feel renewed, empowered, and naturally beautiful.

What to expect
During Your Mastopexy Procedure
A breast lift (mastopexy) is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you remain fully comfortable and pain-free throughout the surgery. Dr. Ali Soueid begins by making carefully planned incisions, which vary depending on the chosen technique—such as crescent, donut, vertical, or anchor patterns. These incisions allow the removal of excess skin and the reshaping of breast tissue to restore a firmer, lifted breast contour.
During the procedure, the nipples and areolas are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location on the breast mound, while efforts are made to preserve nipple sensation and blood supply. The surgeon also reduces the size of stretched areolas if necessary, enhancing overall breast symmetry and appearance. Once reshaping is complete, the incisions are meticulously closed with sutures to minimize scarring.
The entire surgery usually takes between two to three hours, depending on individual anatomy and the extent of the lift required. After surgery, you will be monitored in a recovery area as you awaken from anesthesia. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are managed with prescribed medications.
You’ll leave the clinic wearing a specialized surgical bra or compression garment to support healing and reduce swelling. Dr. Soueid’s team will provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your needs. Most patients in London, Doha, and Dubai can return home the same day and resume light activities within a week. Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal, long-lasting results.
