Benelli lift
You are considering having two things done at once, neither of which I am crazy about. The first is overly large implants and the other is the Benelli lift. although it may sound like a good plan , and may look ok for a while, it will ultimately result in more sagging and stretching of the breast skin and the areolae. It's impossible to tell without photos, but it sounds like you might be better off with smaller implants and a vertical lift with a lollipop scar instead. You should...

Benelli and 550 implants
A benelli lift can be done with large implants. I prefer to pal ce the implants through the same incision. As for suture, I use a permanent because it limits stretching of the areola.

Large Breast Implants (550cc) + Periareolar (Benelli) Lift = a BAD Idea
A Few comments:
1. Breast sag because gravity ALWAYS wins. The heavier / larger a breast is, the faster the breast will sag. If your breasts are already sagging, adding large implants to them makes as much sense as borrowing to pay your credit card bill; All you do is fill the breasts only to place GREATER downward pull on the breasts resulting in FASTER sagging, this time combined with thinning of the breast tissues and skin.
2. The Benelli (or Roundblock) lift is a sub category of...

Breast Lift plus large Implants
I agree with Dr. Edelson's answer. very large breast Implants and the Benelli lift can both be problematic.
A word of caution: many surgeons perform what they call a 'circumareolar' (or 'donut' or 'Benelli' ) mastopexy. In my opinion there is absolutely no such thing as a 'circumareolar mastopexy'. Removing skin around the areola may enable a surgeon to elevate the position of the nipple/areola complex perhaps 1-2 cm on the breast mound, but it DOES NOT lift the breast itself. In most...

Trust
If you did proper homework, you chose a board certified plastic surgeon with ample experience and an understanding of what you are trying to accomplish. If you trusted him/her enough to agree to do the surgery with him/her then trust that he/she will do surgery in the optimal manner.

Breast implants and lift
I agree with Dr.Pousti that the technical decisions of how your surgery is performed should be addressed to your surgeon and individualized to your circumstances. It is important for you to invest your trust in the person you have chosen to take care of you. Make sure your surgeon is experienced, certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, andis someone you can communicate with.

Planning Details of Breast Augmentation/Lifting Procedure?
Thank you for the question.
Most of the questions you're asking should be addressed with your chosen plastic surgeon. He/she is the best position to advise him about the potential size of breast implant that can be used at the same time as breast lift is performed. Your physical examination will be critical in the decision making/planning process. Online consultants, who have not met you, examined you and/or discussed your goals are not in a good position to advise you accurately...
