How much skin can a donut lift safely remove without adding to scarring issues?

December 31, 2021
Asked By:easycoast

I am looking to revise my areola scars and fix the contour deformity caused by my periareola implants (removed for 3yrs). I am not interested in adding scars with a traditional lift & will be very happy with a 2cm lift from a revised donut. How much skin can be removed safely during a donut without increasing the risk of stretching the scar? Will a donut lift also be able to fix my deformity? The deformity happens when my arms are raised and my implants were placed over the muscle. Thank you.
