Asked By:betterandbetter in Beverly Hills, CA

I have had several different surgeries over the past 3 years. Donut lift (no implant) and rhinoplasty. Both surgeries have required additional surgery due to spitting stiches and infection. My areolas are a mess of stretched scars. I want to fix them and the doctor recommends a lollipop lift but WHAT SUTURES WILL NOT SPIT? Otherwise I'm just creating more problems.
