After nursing 2 children I was a saggy 34 C/D and went in for a donut lift and 250 cc Saline implants w/ nipple reduction. While I do have more fullness on top I still appear a bit saggy after the surgery. My Dr. thought this was a better option because of less scarring. Please advise Additionally, if I can get better results with a lollypop lift how long should I wait before having them redone. I am 5'4 and 128 lbs. I am 3 and a half weeks post op.

Answer: Unhappy Result After Benelli Lift and Augmentation Hello,Considering your appearance before surgery, your surgeon did a really nice job. However, I understand your desire for more lift with regards to nipple position and lower breast mound. Additionally, I disagree with your surgeon and Dr. Tholen; when considering a breast lift, scarring is never a factor to determine the most appropriate type of lift. The decision is solely made on the amount of vertical and horizontal excess skin that needs to be treated. In fact, when the Benelli or donut lift is used on a breast that needed a more formal mastopexy, frequently more prominent scarring is the result.You should be able to get a really nice result is you so choose, or you can do nothing and enjoy what you got, which is pretty good. Best of luck!

Answer: Donut Lift Disappointment The donut lift is just not a good lift for most women. It can lead to poor/widened scarring, flattened breasts and enlarged areolas, among other problems. Since you just had surgery, it is best to wait at least 3 months before pursuing a re-evaluation for revision. If you choose to have a consultation with a new board certified plastic surgeon, will need your operative report from your previous surgery. It is best to revisit your current plastic surgeon for advice and recommendations. Waiting longer is always better to give your body a chance to full heal and re-evaluate the results. Best of luck to you!
