I consulted with three doctors via email. All of them advised that I was good candidate for lollipop lift with implant. Is it possible to achieve a donut lift with implant to avoid the scar? Thank you alot
Answer: Breast lift Dear suz1,my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Answer: Breast Lift with Implants Thank you for your question and sharing your photos. Looking and your breast shape, I would tend to agree that your best outcome would be with a short vertical scar "lollipop" lift. The donut lift does not provide as pleasing a shape and the scars can be more troublesome down the road. Make sure you take the time to discuss your concerns with your surgeon ahead of time to avoid miscommunication and unmet expectations. Best wishes on a great result.

Answer: Breast lift with implants I agree with your 3 docs. I feel you will get the superior shape and scar with an implant and vertical lift. Donut lifts flattens the breast and very often makes poor scars. Good luck.
