Circumareolar Mastopexy WITHOUT Implants- Worth It?

Sirensiren
My D's deflated to saggy C's after a 50 lb weight loss, implants are not an option (husband very opposed) and I don't have the body fat needed for a fat transfer. I see many beautiful examples of "donut" mastopexy done with implants, but I can't find any without. Is this because it's a minimally effective surgery? How much of a lift can one expect from this method? I feel like this is the most "lifting" method not involving scars on the non-nipple areas of the breast, and I like that. Thanks!
