I’m interested in a donut lift and I’m wondering how much skin, on average, can be removed while minimizing puckering. Also, my areola are larger than I’d like them to be. I’m assuming that because concentric circles must be made to remove excess skin, resizing of the areola is built in to the procedure, right? Finally, can a donut lift reposition the areola/nipple so they’re higher up on the breast?

Answer: Donut lift I am not a proponent for donut lifts. They provide a minimal lift and the aeola tends to widen overtime. I don’t have your pictures so I’m not sure I can make an accurate determination as to what would be in your best interest.Hope this helps.

Answer: Lift The periareolar lift, or doughnut lift, is a procedure with limited results. If you have minimal sagging with minimal excess tissue, and need minimal movement of the nipple, then it may work well for you. Yes, the areolae can be made smaller, but sometimes it stretches back out if an augmentation is done. That is the most stretchy skin of the breast. I would suggest meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon and discussing your options for a lift.

Answer: Donut Lift Indications. #mastopexy The donut lift is really more of a procedure to relocate the nipple minimal distances, or to decrease the size of the areola. It is not a true breast lift and if the surgeon attempts to lift the breast with this technique, it may result in flattening the breast and a very poor surgical scar. As a result, the use of this technique is very limited, but does have a place in some individuals. The reason why it's attractive to some, is that there is only an incision around the nipple areolar complex.

Answer: Options Thank you for your question.There are no photos, which leads me to think you are not a candidate for a donut llift. There are only a small group of patients that qualify for that procedure. It is used more to correct minimal asymmetries and not really lift the breast.

Answer: Limits of "Donut" Lift Thank you for your question. Please understand that a periareolar mastopexy can lift the nipple about one inch at most and will have a minimal effect on breast shape, except to make it flatter. And the donut lift scar tends to heal worse because of puckering and the tension on the closure. It is mostly useful as an areolar reduction. Be very cautious about trying to accomplish too much with a donut lift. I see a lot of patients from elsewhere that have had donut lifts and they come in to see me because they are unhappy with the results. Best wishes.
