It has been a year and a half since I got my donut lift with 450 cc implant. It's been a year since I've been confident enough to show my breasts to my partner. I have been extremely upset with my nipples and non existent lift. What should I do?

Answer: Areola revision The 450 cc implants combined with the normal breast tissue is a heavy mechanical load and your areolas have stretched. You will need the areolas revised using a circumareola approach. Also, you may want to consider smaller implants or explantation to decrease the mechanical load. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. I rarely say this on a public forum, but you did get botched. It is clear that your surgeon performed a donut lift(mastopexy) inappropriately when he should have performed a more formal lollipop or anchor mastopexy. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision area breast surgery. I do see cases like this occasionally. Affects his to perform a full lift. Sometimes it requires 2 stages to get full removal of the scar tissue. The good news is that you should be held to remove the vast majority of scar tissue and have attractive breasts. Best wishes to you.
