Breast Implant Revision Before & After Case 448

This is a 32 year old, 5'3", 131 pound woman who previously underwent a breast augmentation with circumareolar (doughnut or Bennelli) breast lift at another facility. She complained of an unattractive breast shape and large areolae. This is a very common scenario where women seek breast revision surgery. Implants do not help lift breasts as seen in her before pictures.  A circumareolar or doughnut breast lift does not lift breasts either. Many women undergo this operation in an attempt to achieve an attractive breast shape while avoiding the scar line going down the bottom of her breasts. However, this doughnut procedure is rarely indicated and often leaves women disappointed and understanding the need for a true mastopexy procedure. This patient underwent a mastopexy without changing the implants. 

Notice that the scarring in the after pictures is hardly visible only 5 weeks after surgery while the improved, more attractive breast shape and smaller areolae are undeniable.
