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: Can breast lift be tailored to patient's desire? While you can to a degree tailor the lift to your desired results, the surgeon cannot accomplish any shape without choosing the right technique. I your situation, a Binelli (or circumareolar) lift would make things worse. The areola would stretch and the buttom of you breast would be too full and sag more. At a minimum, you would need a vertical scar with removal of some breast tissue in the lower breast. I would suggest you don't need an implant at all, just reshaping of the breast, but you have to be accepting of the scars.

Answer: Lift You have too much breast tissue that is sagging and too much extra skin for the peri-areolar or doughnut lift. Plus, with the standard breast lift, you can get a nice shape since the breast tissue is actually moved and reshaped. Without it, you will have an odd and wide shape to your breasts.

Answer: Scar will stretch with Benelli Hello: I see that you are concerned about scaring with a breast lift augmentation. Your photos reveal a good loss of upper pole volume and widening of the breasts that are lying low on the chest wall. Your idea of doing a Benelli lift with a scar only around the nipple followed by a breast augmentation will result in flattening of your areola, poor final shape and wide undesirable scars. It is not possible to contour the shape of the breast well with a peri areolar incision. My recommendation would be to do a vertical "lollipop" mastopexy augmentation to reduce the width of your breasts and support the implant and your breast tissue into a higher position on your chest. The tension will be spread along the longer scar and you will avoid the flattening effect of the peri areolar lift. You have a good amount of breast tissue so you would have the choice of a saline or gel implant to give the best result. I think your overall shape will be better in the long run with this approach.

Answer: Breast Lift Surgery / Mastopexy -- Breast Mound Repositioning, Nipple & Areola Relocation, Excess Skin Removal, Fat Grafting, Br You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast lifts, revisions and augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals. Breast lift surgery can improve a woman's breast shape by repositioning the breast mound at a higher position on the chest and then centering the nipple and areola on the breast itself. If there is enough breast tissue, I can perform a highly aesthetic mastopexy without the addition of further volume by internally rearranging the breast tissue and removing excess skin. If more volume is needed, especially in the upper portion of the breasts, we will discuss the possibility of fat grafting or silicone gel implant placement. The type of incision required for this surgery (circumareolar, “lollipop” or “anchor”) and the lifespan of the lift depends on each patient’s condition, breast tissue, genetics, weight and hormonal fluctuations, and desired results. Augmentation with mastopexy is a challenging surgery that requires significant experience to create a shape that is youthful, natural, and proportionate to the body, while managing the native tissue as well as fat grafts or implants. When performed properly, it can result in a dramatic improvement to a woman’s breast appearance. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Lifts. - Dr. Cohen

Answer: Can the breast lift be tailored to what you want? Thank you for the question. Some general thoughts but be helpful to: Different patients will present with different degrees of "sagging" (breast ptosis). The type of breast lift indicated will mainly depend on the patient's physical examination and goals. In some cases where the nipple/areola complexes are in a "borderline" position when it comes to requiring breast lifting, breast augmentation alone may create the "illusion" of a breast lift. Very minor "sagging" may be corrected using a circumferential areolar incision (Benelli breast lift) ; more severe breast ptosis may require a vertical or "anchor" breast lift pattern. In your case, a Benelli breast lift will not suffice when it comes to achieving a powerful enough breast lift. A vertical or "anchor" breast lift will be necessary. I would caution you about utilizing breast implants in the sub glandular position; you will learn a lot about the pros/cons associated with sub muscular versus sub glandular breast augmentation surgery on the Real self website. Again generally speaking, breast lifting involves some degree of tightening and lifting of the breast skin envelope. In order to tighten the skin envelope, skin excision is necessary; this results in the presence of scars. Sometimes, the presence of scars is a “dealbreaker”; patients would prefer to leave their breasts unchanged than to have scars. At other times, patients prefer to have the improvement in breast position, shape, and (possibly) size and are willing to accept the trade-off of the scars.My best advice: if you choose to proceed with breast surgery, select your plastic surgeon carefully. Make sure that he/she has significant experience achieving the types of outcomes you will be pleased with. Then, communicate your goals carefully, as well. I find that the use of goal photographs and computer imaging are very helpful during this communication phase. Working together you will come up with a good plan to achieve your goals. I hope this helps.
