The doctor I have seen wants to perform a donut lift with a minor lollipop on the left. He said it will be skin only and all done under local. My question is will this make the stretch marks on the upper portion of breast look better? Just looking for an improvement but wondering what I should expect. I do NOT want implants.

Answer: Breast Lift Dear Marriedtoyou, I think in any circumstance, it would be hard to make stretch marks look better. Unfortunately, in 2017 (almost 2018) ... we don't have any significant cure. So, I would recommend going into your surgery expecting them not to look better. However, depending on how tightly the skin is pulled with your lift... they shadowing from the indented concave stretch marks might be slightly improved due a rubber band effect. Hope this helps and good luck...

Answer: Breast lift and stretch marks Thank you for this relevant question. Whereas a breast lift will not actually improve the quality of skin it will reduce the appearance of the stretch marks dramatically by increasing tension on the skin. The donut mastopexy is, in my opinion, only a good choice in combination with breast augmentation with either implants or autologous fat transfer. I would suggest a lollipop mastopexy with only a vertical scar that will deliver a more natural shape. Good luck on your journey.

Answer: Breast lift and stretch marks Any procedure that will put more tension on the skin will help the appearance of stretch marks. A breast lift would help, but I would suggest a lollipop lift on both sides to improve shape and scar symmetry. If you do not want an implant, you could discuss a fat transfer to your upper breasts which would help with upper pole fullness and further help improve the stretch marks. Good luck.
