What is a Donut Mastopexy?
A donut lift is designed to remove excess skin from the breast, tightening the breast and raising nipple placement. The technique removes a donut shaped piece of skin from around the areola, allowing the breast to be drawn tighter and firmer. Ptosis occurs when skin loses its natural elasticity and this surgical procedure helps to eliminate some of that stretched out tissue creating a more youthful breast shape. Recovering from a Benelli mastopexy is relatively fast, compared to a full version of a breast lift which uses several larger incisions.
