Hello I had donut mastopexy with implants 1 month ago.The problem is flattened breasts and not much lifted.i want a revision with full lift.Can flattened breasts due to donut mastopexy be fixed with a full lift?I also have permanent sutures around areola.If I will have a full T lift can these sutures be removed ?I am also thinking of a little reduction ~150cc.I just want rounder breasts ,more lifted.My right areola is puffed after the donut mastopexy.Is this due to the permanent sutures?
