I'd like to know how much excess skin can be removed using a donut incision. Im not interested in a lift (am fine with where my areola lay) but I do have excess skin I would like trimmed when I have my areola scars revised. How much can safely be removed this way?

Answer: Areola reduction Areolae reduction with the benelli techniques has its limits as well as its down sides. Your areolae may stretch out and have wide or thick scars. Might not be worth it

Answer: Donut mastopexy outcomes Hello! Donut mastopexy is limited in skin removal. You can certainly tighten up the breast to a point, and best to have the incision around the areola closed with permanent suture that will prevent spreading and widening of the areolar diameter. With greater needs for nipple lift and skin tightening, either lollipop mastopexy or full anchor incision best achieve the more gold standard lift outcome. I would recommend you see a board certified plastic surgeon. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org. Best of luck to you!
