Wondering if breast lift is right for you? Dr. Kapadia evaluates candidacy based on sagging degree, health status, age, and goals. Learn about ideal candidates, temporary disqualifications, and alternative procedures. Schedule your Dubai consultation today.
Considering a breast lift but unsure if it's right for you? Understanding candidacy is the first step toward achieving your aesthetic goals. Dr. Abizer Kapadia helps patients in Dubai determine whether mastopexy can address their concerns and deliver the results they envision.
Sagging breasts: Your breasts have lost their youthful shape and firmness
Downward-pointing nipples: Nipples point below the breast crease
Stretched areolas: The pigmented area around nipples has enlarged
Asymmetry: One breast sits noticeably lower than the other
Loss of upper fullness: The upper portion of breasts appears flat or deflated
Skin laxity: Excess skin causes breasts to appear loose or elongated
If you experience several of these signs, you may be an ideal candidate for breast lift surgery.
Overall good health: No serious medical conditions that impair healing
Stable weight: Maintained consistent weight for at least 6-12 months
Non-smoker: Or willing to quit 4-6 weeks before and after surgery
Realistic expectations: Understanding of achievable outcomes
Completed childbearing: Or willing to accept that future pregnancies may affect results
Adequate breast tissue: Sufficient tissue for reshaping without implants
Skin elasticity: Reasonable skin quality for proper healing
No active infections: Clear of breast infections or skin conditions
Previous surgeries: Prior breast procedures don't automatically disqualify you
Dr. Kapadia evaluates each patient individually during consultation to determine suitability.
Currently pregnant or breastfeeding: Wait until at least 6 months post-nursing
Planning pregnancy soon: Future pregnancies can reverse lift results
Recent significant weight changes: Stabilize weight first for optimal outcomes
Active smoker: Must quit to reduce complication risks
Uncontrolled medical conditions: Address health issues before elective surgery
Minimal sagging with volume loss: May benefit more from breast augmentation alone
Large, heavy breasts: Breast reduction might be more appropriate
Both sagging and volume loss: Combination lift + augmentation could be ideal
Dr. Kapadia will recommend the most suitable procedure during your consultation.
Surgery is typically performed after breast development is complete (age 18+). However, there's no upper age limit if you're in good health.
20s-30s: Post-pregnancy restoration, genetic predisposition to sagging
40s-50s: Age-related changes, menopause effects
60s+: Long-term aging effects, still excellent candidates with good health
Your chronological age matters less than your overall health status and skin quality.
Breast examination: Size, shape, skin quality, nipple position
Measurements: Breast dimensions and degree of ptosis (sagging)
Photography: Medical photographs for surgical planning
Health assessment: Overall physical condition and healing capacity

While possible, it's generally recommended to wait until after completing your family, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect results.
A lift alone doesn't significantly reduce breast size—it reshapes and repositions. For size reduction, consider breast reduction instead.
Age alone isn't a barrier. If you're healthy and cleared medically, breast lift can be safely performed at any age.
Yes. Many patients combine lifts with augmentation, reduction, or mommy makeover procedures. Dr. Kapadia will discuss combination options.
