It covers operations that change breast size, lift sagging breasts or reduce an enlarged male chest. It reshapes healthy tissue and does not diagnose or treat breast cancer.
ISAPS ranked breast augmentation the third most common cosmetic operation in the world in 2024.
Small or underdeveloped breasts can make clothes fit poorly across the chest. Volume can be added with implants or your own fat.
Large breasts pull on the neck, back and shoulders and cause rashes in the fold. Making them smaller often relieves daily pain.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave breasts emptier and lower. Lifting them, sometimes with added volume, restores their position.
Men can develop breast gland from hormones, medicines or weight. Removing it gives a flatter chest once the cause is checked.
Adds size and upper fullness with silicone implants chosen for your chest. Read about breast augmentation
Adds a modest, natural increase using fat from your own body. Read about breast fat transfer
Raises sagging breasts and moves low nipples back to a youthful height. Read about breast lift
Makes heavy breasts smaller and lighter to ease pain and rashes. Read about breast reduction
Flattens an enlarged male chest after its cause is checked. Read about gynecomastia surgery
The aim is breast reshaping that fits your frame, so the change looks natural in clothes rather than obvious. Results depend on your skin, tissue and healing. Photos are shared privately at consultation.

In one study, 32% of women preferred a female surgeon for breast examination, mostly to avoid embarrassment. Here, a woman surgeon examines you privately.
About 1 in 9 women in Pakistan face breast cancer in their lifetime, so an ultrasound or mammogram is arranged before surgery when age or history calls for it.
Future pregnancy and breastfeeding can change any result. Timing surgery around your family plans protects the outcome.
Each procedure page lists its own risks with published rates. Across breast surgery, Dr. Umbreen explains these before consent:
It cannot stop the breasts ageing or changing with pregnancy and weight. It also does not replace regular breast screening as you get older.
Each fee is confirmed after consultation, once the procedure and technique are chosen. Ask for one written estimate covering surgeon, anesthesia, hospital and garments.
| Factor | How It Affects Your Fee |
|---|---|
| Procedure | Fat transfer and lifts are priced differently from implant surgery. |
| Implants | The implant brand adds a separate cost. |
| Hospital stay | Reductions usually need 1 or 2 nights. |
| Combining | Two procedures in one session share anesthesia and hospital charges. |
Compare quotes for the same procedure and technique, as names like “lift” cover very different operations.
Breast surgery and breast lift are listed on her public profile, alongside fat grafting and liposuction. As a female plastic surgeon, she gives women a private space to discuss changes after pregnancy, feeding and weight loss.
Many breasts need more than one change, such as a lift with added volume after pregnancy and feeding.
| Feature | One Procedure | Combined Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Example | Augmentation alone | Lift with implants or fat |
| Anesthesia | Once | Once, but longer |
| Recovery | Shorter | Longer, one recovery period |
| Cost | Lower | Higher, but less than two separate operations |
| Suited to | A single concern | Size and shape both changed |
When sagging is severe, some women are safer having the lift first and adding volume in a second stage.
Dr. Umbreen sees patients privately at Omer Diagnostic & Specialist Clinics (ODC), 12-A, LG Floor, CBC Plaza, G-8 Markaz, Islamabad, Monday to Friday, 3:00 to 5:00 PM.
Bring any breast scan reports, details of pregnancies and breastfeeding, and your current bra size.
Fat transfer usually has the shortest time off, because the breasts are not cut open. Reductions and anchor lifts take longest, as they involve the most stitching.
Wait until you have stopped feeding for several months and your breast size has settled. Surgery too soon may be planned on breasts that are still changing.
It depends on the procedure. Implant scars sit in the breast fold, while lifts and reductions place scars around the areola and below it, hidden by a bra.
Sometimes, but only with clearance from your cancer team. Reconstruction after cancer is planned with them, and cosmetic surgery is never used to treat the cancer itself.
Yes. A smaller breast can be enlarged, a larger one reduced or lifted, or both changed, to bring them closer together. Exact symmetry is not possible.
A soft, front-fastening sports bra without underwire, worn day and night for as long as advised. Loose, button-front tops make dressing much easier in the first week.
