Am I a candidate for a donut / benelli lift? How much of a lift can be achieved with this technique? (photos)

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

In your case vertical brow lift with a lollipop scar is better solution. You will not get desired shape and projection with donut lift. Good luck.

A donut lift can only achieve a subtle improvement. Your nipples are located below your breast fold therefore the improvement would not be sufficient. You would most likely be more suitable for a full breast lift (vertical lift).

The amount of lift achieved is directly proportional to the amount of scarring. That is, the procedures that have less scarring provide less lift and vice versa. For the degree of sagging shown in your photos, a more standard breast lift would be recommended.

Thank you for your pictures and questions. In general a periareolar scar should not be relied upon as doing much "lifting" but more should be used for reduction of the areola. If you push the envelope and try to achieve a lot of lifting with this technique, you end up with severe stretching and widening of the scar as well as flattening of the anterior projection of the breast. In your case, I think you might be best served with an implant to provide volume and then discussing how best to shape the nipple/areola. Discuss with a plastic surgeon in your area.
Good luck!
