Benilli Lift on Just One Breast?

After nursing, one breast was slightly more stretched out than the other, as was the size of the areola. My PS said that he would make one implant slightly more filled to even this out, but its been a couple years after surgery and one side is still about a half an inch lower and has a wider areola. Could this be corrected with a Benilli lift on just one breast?

A: One-sided Breast Lift

This is a great question. This question can only be properly answered after a personal evaluation. It does sound like a concentric(Benelli) mastopexy could be the ticket. However, that side sounds like it was already looser than the other side and it could relax again even after a proper surgical procedure. I hope this helps.

How Long Will It Take for Breast Tissue to Settle After Breast Lift Revision?

Had revision breast lift in one breast & scar revision in 1/2011. 1st lift was performed 12/2009. First surgery left me quite asymmetrical. Right breast measured 21 cm from sternal notch while the left measured 19 cm. I'm extremely worried that the breast that was relifted appears way too high. The surgeon's nurse explained that he "tacked" my breast tissue to my chest wall because that is his technique. First surgeon never did any tacking. Is it too early for me to panic about my results?!

A: Assymetry after a breast lift

Asymmetry after a breast lift is very common.  Give your procedure six to eight weeks and then reassess.  Skin laxity and shape can change significantly in the first few weeks.

Wishing you all the best.

Advice for Sagging Breasts After Weight Loss?

I am 29 and have recently lost 100 lbs. I have always had large breasts (46 DDD) now that I have lost the weight I feel so insecure, my chest is saggy and looks like giant rasins. I have always loved my large chest. Now I wear a 38 DDD, the cup size didn't go down, but my skin is just loose and gross. I still want very large brests. The rest of my body is responding nicely to all my working out. I want to be excited about my weight loss. Do you have advice?

A: massive weight loss and breast restoration

First of all, congratulations.  It takes a great deal of determination and discipline to lose all of that weight.  It sounds like you will require a rather large implant and then a breast lift.  I recommend under the muscle and a vertical lift.  You may want to consider the so-called "mommy make-over".  This is a breast and body procedure to rejuvenate you and give you an entirely new appearance.

Best,
