I have read a lot of answers on here and some say that it can be difficult to convert a donut lift gone wrong into a lollipop lift, what are the reasons for that?
Answer: Binelli conversion I do not think is would be a problem to convert a peri-areolar lift to a vertical mastopexy. In fact, you will have a better outcome with a more shaply, durable lift and the areola will be crisp and round. I would not hesitate to proceed. Thank you for sharing.

Answer: Lift Actually, it is not difficult to convert the per-areolar lift to the vertical lift. Typically with the peri-areolar lift, the actual breast is not lifted that much.

Answer: Breast lift Dear Sensible57165, generally speaking, it is possible to convert benelli lift to lollipop lift. Benellis lifts are always limiting. A vertical lollipop lift would have been my recommendation from the beginning, which should provide you with great results. I would stay away from anchor type pattern lifts (Old School Surgeon Technique) as they tend to flatten the breast and make a boxy appearance. Aggressive scar management would likely yield virtually invisible scars after the lift as well.

Answer: Benelli to Lollypop It is not necessarily always an issue, but for some people who got a Benelli too much skin was removed in the lateral vector, making a conversion impossible without size reduction of the implant, something many women don't want. Also, when too much skin was removed in the vertical vector, leaving the upper edge of the areola too high, only an anchor scar pattern lift can be performed, with the same issue of needing to reduce size.

Answer: Why is it difficult to convert benelli lift to lollipop lift? It hard to say without talking about a specific case. So If you have photos it would be good to post a follow up question with the photos. I can only asume that a donut lift gone wrong means that the breast were not lifted enough. If that is the case it is probably because the patient needed a more aggressive lift to begin with. Basically she was never a candidate for a donut lift. The difference in lift between a donut lift and a lil iPod lift is usually minimal. So if the is a true issue with a donut lift the most practical way to fix it is with a traditional anchor lift. Hope this helps, Dr. Miguel Mota
