Would I be able to get a donut lift instead of a regular lift? Or a bellasoma lift? What lift is best for me? (Photos)

The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Dear amalev2015,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Please note that even with a donut lift, you will be left with scars. Your nipples are located below your breast fold therefore a vertical lift may be more suitable for you.

Hello @amalev2015, thank you for your question. To answer the question, it ultimately depends on the results that you are looking for. The most important factor in deciding which technique(s) to use is the opinion of your plastic surgeon, who will have assessed factors such as skin laxity, breast size and shape, and other individual characteristics that can determine the best approach.
That said, I always perfom a breast lift with an L shape incision that allows me to reposition and improve the shape of the breast with minimal scarring by raising the base slightly and improving the overall proportion with minimal scarring. Ultimately though, each case should be evaluated on its own merit by an experienced board certified plastic surgeon before recommending a surgical plan to ensure you get optimal results tailored to your needs and preferences.

Hello, thank you for your question. I would check out some wish pics of someone starting out similar to you. A donut lift also called a benelli would only reposition the areola, it is not much of a lift. I suggest discussing your options with you plastic surgeon. I hope this helps.

Based on these images, you are not a candidate for periareolar, donut, breast lift. Vertical breast lift with lollipop or, more likely, anchor scar, will be needed considering amount of skin to be removed. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with good reputation in breast surgery would give you an oportunity to discuss your options in more details. Good luck.

Both the donut lift and bellasoma lift are problematic even though they sound spiraling. You need a vertical lift sometimes called a lollipop lift along with an implant. Bear in mind that many plastic surgeons don’t know how to do that procedure. I recommend some online research about the procedure prior to consultation

A donut lift, also known as a periareolar lift, is a type of breast lift that involves making an incision around the areola and removing excess skin to lift and reshape the breast. This procedure is suitable for women who have mild sagging or drooping of the breast.

However, it's important to note that a donut lift may not be enough to address more significant sagging or drooping. Additionally, even with a donut lift, some degree of scarring is inevitable. The extent of scarring will depend on the extent of the lift required and the individual's healing ability.

Based on your pictures, you may need a vertical mastopexy.

It's best to consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate your individual case and recommend the most appropriate surgical approach to address your concerns. They will also be able to discuss the potential risks, benefits, and recovery associated with the procedure, including scarring.

Best of luck !

No, you are sagging and do need at least the vertical lift to reposition your breast tissue and obtain the best shape. The peri-areolar lift does not shape the breast well.

If your goal is to avoid scars, then consider just breast augmentation to give you volume and a slight lift. You will have natural look breasts. Later on, if you feel like you want more uplifted breasts, you can get a lift done with the existing imp
