Do I need a full blown lift or can I do donut? (Photos)

O
Original753484Jul 21, 2022

I am wanting someone who can do a donut type of lift for my breasts. I have lost my volume post nursing for 4 years back to back. My upper pole is empty which makes my breasts look extra saggy. My normal chest was a very full and dense 34DD since high school. After nursing all my tissue is gone so it's appearing so saggy but if I stretch out my upper skin where the tissue used to be, my nipple raises naturally to its former level. I want full breasts with side boob, see attached wish pic

Hi there, Thanks for your question! You can absolutely do a breast lift without implants, as long as you are comfortable with a smaller cup size, because we can only work with the breast tissue you have! I think a mastopexy along with areola reduction would give you a really nice A cup breast...

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. Based on your photos, I don’t believe that you will benefit from a breast lift or require one. Volume is not restored with a lift, but rather fullness can be achieved with an implant or fat grafting.
