What's really the difference between Areola Reduction and Donut Mastopexy?

An areola reduction is just that, it reduces the size of the areola. A donut mastopexy uses the same incision but also includes a minor breast lift, patient selection for this procedure is important. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to learn what options are available to you. Good luck.

A donut mastopexy involved reducing the areola and lifting the breasts using only a scar around the areola.  This may be okay in selected cases.  If you need a lift as well the scars are more involved but also reduced the areola.  Photos would be a great help in determining what procedure would be best for you.
