I had assymetry issues to start with. Implant placed in both with a donut lift on the one side. Feel like the donut lift didn't do anything besides allow my nipple to stretch. The suggestion now is to do a small lift in office but I'm concerned that will only increase my stretching. I think I may need the lollipop lift.

Answer: Breast lift This is why I do not use the donut lift. It has very limited lifting use and often ends with stretched areola and flattened breasts. I would probably use a lollipop lift to correct your breast. Good luck.

Answer: Classic failure of periareolar lift The donut lift or periareolar lift is really not much of a lift and IMHO way overused. It often results in pleats and an overly large areola which you have. Now that skin has already been removed it is unlikely have the laxity to convert to a vertical lift. Sorry but at this point be very careful as more surgery may cause you to have significant complications. Good Luck!

Answer: Breast lift Hello and thank you for your question. A "donut" lift in the office will cause worsening stretching, flattening of your breast, and a wide scar around your areola. This has a high probability of not working in you, particularly if done under local anesthesia in the office. The quick fix may be tempting for both surgeon and patient but can often lead to unsatisfactory results. I recommend a formal breast lift in the operating room under general anesthesia.
