Summary: We find suitable assumptions for the quasi-concave envelope $u^*$ of a solution (or a subsolution) $u$ of an elliptic equation $F(x,u,\nabla u,D^2u)=0$ (possibly fully nonlinear) to be a viscosity subsolution of the same equation. We apply this result to study the convexity of level sets of solutions to elliptic Dirichlet problems in a convex ring $\Omega=\Omega_0\setminus\overline\Omega_1$.
