Had donut lift, now areolas are a mess of stretched scars, what sutures will not spit for a lollipop lift revision?

Often the issue when a donut / concentric / Benelli mastopexy doesn't turn out is that the tissues were too gathered.  It is often possible to convert these lifts to lifts where the geometry of the skin is more favorable.  There are also suture choices that minimize the chance of spitting.

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Based on
your description, you will benefit from a revision.  I use monocryl sutures underneath the skin, which do not tend to spit.  This decision should
be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you
and your surgeon.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.
