I got a donut lift with implant and got is scarring and no lift.. it's been a year and the scar has not gotten any better. Please help what should I do?
Answer: Areolar reduction scar revision Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. Based on your photograph, I would recommend a surgical scar revision with areolar reduction using a deep gortex purse string suture and a smaller implant to reduce tension. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.

It is hard to tell from the limited photos, schedule an email, Skype, or in-office consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for proper evaluation.

Answer: Scarring Yes, I would suggest a scar revision to help minimize the scar. If a lift is still needed, you may need the vertical component to give you the full lift. The doughnut lift is restricted on how much lifting it can do. Many times, it enlarges the areola and widens scars.

Answer: Should I redo a lift to help scarring that hasn't improved since implants and a donut lift a year ago? (photo Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately without a full series of photographs that show your breasts it is difficult to make definite advice. In most cases if excess skin is still present, then a re-do of your breast lift can be performed successfully.

Answer: Mastopexy/Breast Lift A "donut lift" or periareolar mastopexy can tighten the breast skin envelope but generally does very little to actually lift the breast. Transitioning to a full scar mastopexy should improve the periareolar scars and give you the amount of lift you want.
