I would like a Breast lift and Areola reduction. I am scared of getting Breast implants and have no intention of getting Breast Augmentation. What is the difference between a Benelli/Donut lift and Areola reduction? Are they one and the same? Is the cost different? I am a C cup & really interested in an areola reduction because it is inexpensive and also lifts. Thanks.
Answer: Benelli or Donut lift versus areolar reduction. The incisions used for a Benelli or Donut lift are the same incisions that are used for an areolar reduction. This incision is called circumareolar.

CONTACT NOW Answer: What does the Benelli Lift consist of in comparison to the Donut Lift? Can the areola also be corrected? The #BenelliLift, developed by French surgeon Dr. Benellil,is also known as the "DonutLift"to most surgeons, is performed by removing a donut-shaped piece of the areola and the surrounding skin. Followed by applying a #Pursestring, or, a double purse-string suture, to tighten the skin. Initally, a #Benelli was developed to access a majority of the breast through the incision. The breast is then shaped and lifted with sutures. This is a very complex procedure which is not often performed. However, the term is widely used to refer to breast lifts involving an incision around the #areola. A #mastopexy or #BreastLift enables the Plastic Surgeon to create nipple and areolae of a desired size and at the correct height. Costs will depend on several factors such as the geographic location, the skill and experience of the surgeon, and operating room and anesthesia fees. Approximate costs can be found on the Real Self website, Surgery.org, or PlasticSurgery.org

Answer: Difference between Benelli and Areolar Reduction A Benelli Lift entails wider undermining and underlying positioning of breast tissue with or without areolar diameter reduction. An areolar reduction usually requires removal of excess areola, minimal undermining and skin closure. You may want to consider a more natural way to augment your breasts with fat transfer.

Answer: Benelli vs. Donut Lift The periareolar ("donut" or Benelli) technique is suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate ptosis (classified as grade I or II). It is also the least invasive form of breast lift. You may find that you won't be able to achieve the results you want with this technique. Generally, the cost is about the same as other breast lift types, although you will have to ask your specific surgeon if this is the case for them.

Answer: New option for women wanting breast lift without implants or a vertical scar
Hi,
Great question! My colleagues are correct. The differences are minimal, but essentially the same. The Benelli lift does not and cannot permanently lift low lying breast tissue. It only provides minimal lift by pulling the nipple/areola up. Hopefully, you would be a candidate for this procedure. If, however, you have a significant amount of ptosis (sagginess) the Benelli will not give you an adequate lift. There is another option if you do not desire implants or do not want visible scars. The Ultimate Breast Lift is a new technique which designs and constructs an internal cone using your own tissue to imulate an implant. It also constructs straps made from the excess skin to permanently attach the newly formed cone on to your chest muscles. This 'internal bra' provides the lift and upper pole fullness most women are looking for after loosing weight, pregnancies, and breast feeding. It's worth looking into. Best wishes,
Dr. Horndeski

Answer: Benelli Lift versus Areola Reduction?
Thank you for the question.
The Benelli breast lift involves an incisions around the areola (that allow for skin excision more so above the areola then below the areola); the difference in the amount of skin excised above and below the areola is what allows for the breast lifting to occur. Keep in mind, that this operation is indicated only for patients who require relatively minor upward movement of the nipple/areola complexes.
Areola reduction on the other hand, involves incisions around the areola removing skin equally above and below the areola; this operation serves to decrease the size of the areola and not necessarily lift the breasts.
I would suggest in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons; appropriate patient selection is key to the success of any plastic surgical procedure.
