I had breast aug w/ donut lift 10 yrs ago, want to replace with silicone n another lift. On a consult, surgeon advised crescent lift with 450cc silicone. But after reading more about the crescent, I'm afraid will not give me the amount of lift I truly want. Also read it could distort/stretch my areolas, which scares me since I think they were pretty stretched out after the donut lift 10 yrs ago. I'd prefer not to have vertical scar but will take it if it'll give me the results I really want.

Answer: Lollipop lift with implant exchange? Hello and thanks for your questions and photos. After reviewing your photos and wish phots, the short answer is that you will get the best result with a lollipop lift and implant exchange. This type of lift should be able to adequately correct your existing asymmetry and give you a very nice result. A crescent or donut/Benelli-type lift will not give you the look or amount of lift that you are desiring and will likely significantly distort your areola. I would encourage you to schedule a consultation and discuss your breast lift and augmentation treatment options with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS), and also a member of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), and a fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) demonstrating their commitment to cosmetic surgery and excellence in surgery. Assure that they have multiple before and after photos of results that you like so that you can have an informed discussion about your breast enhancement/correction and possible results. Best wishes!

Answer: Donut vs lollipop breast lift: how to decide Crescent lifts are for minor asymmetries, and donut lifts can work if the areolar diameter needs to be reduced and not a lot of lift. There are ways to prevent areolar widening (see link to an article below). In your case I think you would lose projection so a better shape will be with the vertical pattern (lollipop).
