Lollipop lift. Do I need Gore-Tex sutures?

A vertical lift is done to remove additional skin and lift the breast but it also reduces tension along the circumareolar closure.

It's impossible to answer your question without examining you. In general, many surgeons perform the sort of lift you describe without a Gore-Tex suture. Without the Gore-Tex suture there is increased risk of  stretching of the areola and widening of the periareolar scar.  Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Depending on how much tightening you require either a dissolvable suture or a permanent suture like Gore-Tex  may be a good solution for you.

A properly done vertical or lollipop does not require the gortex suture since there should be no tension on the areola. When I do a lift I close all the skin and make sure all tension controlled and pop the nipple/aerola out in the proper spot and close it tension free. This gives a superior breast shape and areola size as compared to the donut  or periaerola lift. Good luck.
