A year ago I had a breast surgery. My areolas stretched out and I‘m going for a revision. I‘m not sure which technique will be better for permanent results without stretching the areolas again. My doctor said he would use a permanent string in both options: donut or lollipop lift. Lollipop is „safer“ areola wise but the scar could be worse and donut is less safe with nicer scars. I‘m concerned because i dont have much to lift anymore so anyways there will be tension on areola and scar. thoughts?
