I want to know if I could be a candidate for a Benelli Lift. I want a Breast Augmentation because I breastfed my baby and I lost a cup of my volume.

I visited 2 surgeons in my country and they told me that I will need a lift only on my right breast. They told me about a Lollipop Breast Lift, but I read here that some people can have a Benelli lift. I want to know if I really need a Lollipop Lift or a Benelli + Breast implant. Will it work? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Lollipop vs Benelli lift for breast asymmetry

Hi Jadore645 Without the benefit of a clinical examination and measurements it is not possible to give an exact answer to your question. It is probable that either procedure can be performed but the changes or improvement may not be the same. In general, breast lifts that have more scarring also provide more lift. Depending on how much lift you require or how much residual ptosis you will accept will determine which procedure is preferred and selected. Although I know this is not a great... more

Periareolar lift plus an implant

In my opinion, you could have a nice result with implants on both sides and a periareolar lift on both sides. That way, you would have only scars around the areola and they would be equal on each side. You cam see many photos on my web site and RealSelf. You don't have a great starting point but could have some significant improvement.

Breast Lifting Technique?

Thank you for the question and pictures. Based on the pictures, I think you may have a very nice result with breast augmentation and circumareolar breast lifting. Of course, additional lifting will be necessary on your right side to improve symmetry as much as possible. Best wishes.

Breast Lift decision is based on clinical examination

Hello Jadore645, Without a clinical examination, it is very difficult to give you the correct answer. Based on your photo, it appears the left nipple is in good position, and a breast augmentation alone will give you a good result. The right breast does need a lift, but the question is which type? It really depends on the amount of drop and loose skin in the lower portion of the breast. In general, if up to one inch of nipple lift is needed AND there is MINIMAL to NO loose skin in the lower... more

Breast lift and implants

Hi, The type of breast lift you need depends on how large you wish to go with your implants. If you want small implants, you may need a lollipop incision, but if you are planning on having large implants placed, a Benelli incision alone may work. It would be hard to determine this without and examination and discussion, so I would ask your question directly to your surgeon. Good luck, /nsn.

Correction of Breast asymmetry

Many women, particularly those who have had children, will notice that their breast tissue will droop and “deflate” following breast-feeding. This phenomenon is not limited to mothers, however, as changes in weight as well as hormone fluctuations can cause these same issues. Some women, in fact, are born with breasts that may not be as “perky” as they would like. Many patients who complain of this breast deflation, or “breast ptosis” in medical terms,... more

Need to see you in person to determine breast lift with implants

As Dr Wallach states, we really need to see you in person. But from your photos my idea of a plan is to do the Benilli lift on the left and a lollipop on the right. But remember I could change my mind in an in person visit. Good Luck.

Lollipop Lift vs. Benelli Lift

A good question, but without fully examinng you I can only base my suggestions on your photos. It looks like you can probably "get away" with a Benelli type lift or a circumareola lift with an implant. I do it all the time.

Correction of breast asymmetry.

Hi. 1) You are a great candidate for correction of breast asymmetry. 2) In the left breast, you just need an implant inserted through the nipple. 3) In the right breast, you need a Benelli lift and an implant, with a circular scar around the nipple, making the areola a little smaller. You do not need a lollipop scar. 4) I recommend smooth, round, moderate plus profile, cohesive silicone gel breast implants placed over the muscle.

BREAST ASYMMETRY, PTOSIS, and HYPOPLASIA

SEE VIDEO BELOW FOR BREAST ASYMMETRY MANAGEMENT: Reviewing your photos, it appears that your right areola is larger than your left. This means that not only will you have lift the areola on the right (more than the left) but you will also have to reduce the size of the areola. This can result in puckering. The left will easily be corrected with the Benelli but the right will be more difficult to predict. It also appears that you may benefit from volume reduction of the right because using... more

Lollipop or Benelli lift

I prefer a lollipop lift (vertical with lollipop scar) in your situation. In a lot of cases the scar from a Benelli lift is not as nice and the procedure has a tendency to flatten the breast.
