Would I be a candidate for a breast lift (no implant) with a donut incision, only around the areolae, instead of vertical/lollipop incision?
Answer: Breast lift Thank you for the question. You will have a better result with the vertical/lollipop incision. I wish you the best of luck. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, Houston. TX.

Answer: Donut lift may not be sufficient A donut lift may not be sufficient for you. The improvement would be minimal. However, it really depends on your goals therefore please let your surgeon know what you’d like to achieve so they can determine whether a donut lift would suffice.

Answer: Mini lift The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Breast lift Breast lifts or mastopexy procedures need to address both the position of the nipple and extra skin if present. Breasts with stretch marks tend to be less elastic and therefore tend to need more skin removal to achieve beautiful shape after surgery. Wether or not you are a good candidate for a donut mastopexy (donut incision) depends on the position of the nipple relative to the inframammary fold (degree of ptosis), your skin type, and the volume and distribution of breast tissue. Based on your photos, it is likely (but not certain) that you would benefit from a vertical scar and possibly a scar in your breast crease. The donut mastopexy can work well for small vertical adjustments in nipple-areola position (1 -2 cm) when the breast tissue is centered behind the nipple. However, donut techniques frequently flatten the contour of the breast in the lateral view, making the breast look less perky. The lollipop and inverted-T techniques tend to create better shape because they address skin excess in addition to changing nipple position.
