I'm researching breast lift/tightening options, the scars associated with the lifts are not the best trade offs (especially that anchor scar). Is it possible to get the Benelli on large breast, 34dd then add an implant after it has healed. This way I avoid the vertical scar and the extra long horizontal scar. I don't need the nipple position to be crazy high on the chest, just want to get rid of extra skin, after weight loss. The donut lift seems to target just the skin which is my goal.

Answer: Breast lift Great question! As plastic surgeons, our goal is reduce the amount of scarring necessary to achieve the goals you desire. Unfortunately with a Benelli lift, all it does is move the nipple and areola up a 1-2 centimeter, there really isn't much breast skin that is removed. It also really isn't a lift as the breast still stays in the same position. Only with a vertical or horizontal lift can the breast tissue itself be lifted higher onto your chest as well as really having excess skin removed. Looking at your photos, you will need a full lift - either vertical or traditional which both has its advantages and disadvantages. Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: The Benelli is a poor choice for a breast lift. The vertical method is better The inverted-T anchor scar should be obsolete because of the very long horizontal scar and other design problems, such as an overelevated nipple. The Benelli is unsatisfactory because it provides no lift and just distorts the areola, sometimes making the breast look like a tomato (this method has fallen into disfavor). The vertical method is best.
