I want to reduce the size of my areola and also lift the nipple just a bit(if it is possible). I am curious if by doing the donut lift in order to perform the reduction, the areolas will stretch in time and will affect the breast shape. I am trying to avoid the vertical scar, but I would like to know what the best option for good long lasting results is. Thank you!
Answer: #areolarreduction #breastuplift with #plasticsurgery You do appear to have a good shape to your breasts, you do not have a breast droop needing an uplift. I would not recomend having surgery to your breasts. One could potentially reduce the size of the areola by doing a periareolar areola reduction (as in a doughnut lift), but there is a risk of stretching and the transition between your areola and the chest skin will become very sharp.

Answer: Breast Lift Techniques, Incisions and Scarring Hi Meghan890, Breast lift surgery aims to re-volumize the breast with either and natural implant or fat grafting followed by nipple repositioning using the lift. I prefer to use a vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern for more significant lifts. This reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. Mastopexy that requires less than 2cm of lift only needs a donut incision. Every incision is also closed in five precise layers without using reactive sutures that can cause inflammation and eventual scarring. If you are considering a breast lift, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: A periareolar ("donut") lift is rarely a good option. The vertical lift is superior (and no lift is also an option) A periareolar lift provides essentially no lift. It does create a scar around the areola and this scar can spread if subjected to tension and give an unattractive "tomato" breast appearance. One option for you is just to have implants and avoid unnecessary scarring because you have minimal sagging. If you do want a lift, the vertical approach is best. It is effective and if done by an experienced surgeon will provide an excellent lift without undue tension on the skin around the areola. Yes, you do have to accept a vertical scar. I discuss the different types of breast lift on my website.

Answer: Donut lift From your photos, you look like you have a nice shape already and, whilst the nipples may ideally benefit from a very minor lift, I personally don't think it's worth the scarring involved. You are right in your assumption that these scars (and the nipples) stretch so it's also not a very effective technique in reducing nipple size. In addition, it will do almost nothing to improve the shape of your breasts. As usual, best option for you is to have a face-to-face consultation with someone who can examine you, get a sense of your tissue characteristics and go through your options in detail.

Answer: Sometimes the best advice is to do nothing Overall you have a nice shape to your breasts. Your areola are not excessively large and the asymmetry, although present, is not significant. I would caution against surgery. For many the scar is a great trade-off. For you I don't think it is worth it.Dr Rodger Shortt, plastic surgeon in Oakville, Ontario.
