Benelli Vs Lollipop Lift, What is Recommended For No Scarring?

One Ps recommended the donut lift, measure 25cm. I know the lollipop would be best for me. But I would rather have a little sag and no scar vs perky breast with a scar. I don't want my nipples to go flat is there something that can decrease my chances of this happening? I'm a 36d plan to go 36dd with saline and lift. Will I really regret the donut lift? Keep in mine I don't mine a little sag but I will NEVER be comfortable with the vertical scar. I HATE marks on my body and I'm very self conscious

The Ultimate Breast Lift is a full lift with NO vertical scar

Hi, I agree with you. I hate vertical scars on breasts too! A new series of breast lifting techniques have been developed from the need to maximise shape and elevation without the need of a vertical scar regardless of how ptotic (saggy) breasts might be. The Ultimate Breast Lift with augmentation technique uses your excess skin to fashion 'bra straps' to lift your existing breast tissue and drape it over a subpectoral implant to achieve a shapely/natural look. The only incision... more

Benelli or Lollipop?

You ask a really good question but have already answered it for yourself. If you don't have much sagging and prefer a little sag over more scars than you will probably be happy with the Benelli type of lift. I personally prefer a tighter breast which you get from the lollipop type procedure but it's your body and your decision. Get enough consultations from surgeons who you think understand what you want and check out their results.

Lift and appearance

A Benelli lift or donut mastopexy with augmentation usually does not create a flat areola. If this lift is done without an implant, a flattening can occur.

Breast lift scars

In my practice there are only a few patients I think will do well with a donut or peri areolar lift. The procedure uses a suture that stays there forever to keep the areola and scar from getting wide. So if the suture breaks or extrudes you need more surgery. I like the lollipop lift most of the time since the vertical scar heals very well and I have more control of the results using this procedure. Please consult you plastic surgeon to review these issue and let them guide you. more

Breast Lifting and Scarring?

Thank you for the question. Although it is not possible to give you good advice without direct examination, it sounds like you have some degree of breast ptosis and would benefit from breast lifting. Unfortunately, there is no breast lift that can be done without resulting scars on the breasts. Based on your strong feelings about the vertical scar associated with the vertical mastopexy, you obviously should not consider that operation. Whether the Benelli breast lift... more

Mastopexy decisions

There is no single right answer to this question, I can just give a single surgeons experience. Never compromise on shape for the sake of less scar. My impression is that most patients are extremely concerned about the scar before mastopexy surgery, but what is most important to them afterwards is the shape. Scars do usually fade with time, and patients do not object them so much, but they are very unhappy if they haven't got a good shape. This is my experience, there is... more

Benelli (Donut) vs. Lollipop Breast Lift with Breast Aug.

The equation for droop, (ptosis), is too much skin and not enough breast issue. It looks like you are electing to place some volume and take away some skin. Without photos or exam what technique is best is hard to say. You state that you are very self conscious, etc; Please make sure that you have reasonable expectations. You state that you can except a "little" sag, and that you already know the lolipop is more approprate for you, but you want the other... more

Lift and implants

Perhaps you should delay the lift until you see how you look with just implants. I am not a fan of the donut mastopexy. It does not give much lift and can flatten out the areola and may be adding unnecessary costs to your procedure. If you just do the implants you can wait 6 months and see if a donut will really offer you any improvement.

No such thing as "no scarring" breast lifts

All breast lifts require scars but almost all patients will trade shape for scar. It is usually the best plan to get the lift your anatomy requires and not try to get by with less unless you understand what you won't be getting by doing less.
