Can I Get a Benelli Breast Lift Done Twice?

History tends to repeat itself. If you were unhappy with the Benelli outcome then you might want to rethink which procedure is best for you. Here are some decision information that might be helpful to you:The key to success lies in letting you surgeon know
specifically what you would like to look like following the surgery. For
example, how perky do you want to be, what shape do you want to have,
etc.? However from your description it would appear that a lollipop
type lift would be best for you rather than a periareolar lift like the Benelli
procedure. Here is a rule of thumb that works for most patients. If you nipple
is above your lower breast crease then often a periareolar lift will be
sufficient for most patients. If your nipple is at or below your crease then a
vertical lift (lollipop lift), inverted T or anchor pattern may be required.



The Lollipop incision for Grade 3 or 4 ptosis (areolar near
or below your breast crease) works best in my hands and the use of a Lollipop
technique can lift your breast to the perkiness you desire. However, other
plastic surgeons are more comfortable with an inverted T or Anchor Pattern
technique.The donut lift does tend to both
flatten and have scars widened as you are removing skin around the areola which
causes tension in that single area causing it to "spring' apart over time.
With the Lollipop incision the tension is spread out over a greater distance of
the lower vertical scar (where the areola once was) causing less tension on the
areola and entire closure. The vertical lift tends to cone the breast making it
more shapely (conical) and less flat. For a visual take a paper circle, cut out
a small wedge on the bottom and bring the edges together to see this effect. In
general I would pick the best Surgeon and explain fully what you want to
achieve rather than the technique. Always choose a board certified Plastic
Surgeon.

Yes, this type of lift can be done twice.  Of course, the amount of lifting achieved is relatively small;  please make sure your good candidate for the procedure and do not need a more powerful breast lift.

Best wishes.

Yes, Benelli or circumareolar lfts (mastopexy) can be repeated and is most oftenly performed to correct a broken circumareaolar stitch and treat an enlarged areola. Use of a permanent suture may reduce this tendency
