1 yr post op from submusular implants + donut lift. Started out with asymmetry & constricted lower pole (before pics attached). I still have some asymmetry & now they seem snoopy? My surgeon was hesitant to lower my fold on the higher breast due to the risk of bottming out. Im considering seeking revision & wanting to get some other opinions on what's going on with me.

Answer: Donuts Don't Lift Just reading your text without the accompanying photos I knew you got the wrong operation. Donut/circumareolar/Benelli lifts don't lift the breast and barely lift the nipple areolar complex. That procedure is reserved for a breast shape that most patients would simply get no lift at all: a small and deflated breast with a *slightly* low nipple areolar complex that is NOT tethered by a lack of inframammary skin. Asymmetric breasts, larger breasts, and constricted breasts (yes, I know, there is plenty of plastic surgery literature written about its use with tubular or constricted breasts) are not ideal candidates for that procedure. You'll need a formal breast lift to give you what you want, an attractive breast mound and nipple position on the mound.

Answer: Breast revision Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision surgery. In your case, you probably needed a lollipop lift from the beginning. Donut lifts rarely elevate the areola enough to make a meaningful change. You should be able to have an excellent outcome with the talented surgeon. Best wishes to you.
