Donut mastopexy revision? (Photo)

Yes this can be converted to a full lift, and the permanent sutures can be removed. But you should wait for 6-12 months and if a different surgeon is going to do it, s/he needs the old operative report

It is impossible to know what your final result will be as far as breast contour. It is very early in your healing process. Some flattening of the breast is expected with a donut mastopexy. You should probably consider waiting 6-12 months before deciding on any further surgery. The permanent sutures can usually be removed as part of revision surgery. The photograph does not help me much as far as understanding how further surgery may help. You have mentioned quite a few details about your expectations. Although your plastic surgeon can strive to achieve these, this is not always possible to manipulate soft tissue exactly into the patient's desired effect.

Dear Beautiful800656,
I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Hi there,
I would say that it is very early to tell what the breasts are going to look like. I would wait 3-6months. It is very common for the breast to be flat after donut mastopexy but they will round out over time. The puffiness in your areolar indicates swelling in the area, which is normal when you are only one month out.
I would wait and see how it changes over time, you may still require a revision but they revision can be done more successfully after you have fully healed
All the best

The donut mastopexy is not a great operation. It typically doesn’t lift the breast enough. It can be revised to either a lollipop type lift or a full anchor lift
