I'm 26 and I have my surgery scheduled for October. My doctor recommended implants and a Benneli "lift", where he will make my nipples smaller. This is supposed to give the effect of a lift without the actual lift. My question is, do you think this will achieve that? Or will I end up with just bigger/saggy breasts? I'm just looking at other's reviews and getting nervous.
Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Benelli Lift I personally use a Benelli lift infrequently because I believe most patients either fall into the camp of needing a full lift or no lift with their augmentation. For the small number of patients that really skirt the line of needing a lift it is a good option.

Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! Personally, I think that a breast lift would be in your best interest if you are looking for maximum perkiness and long-term results, especially for the droopier breast. Good luck!

Answer: Benelli "lift" Thank you for your question. The Benelli "lift" focuses on reducing the size of the areola, which can give the illusion of a mild lift. However, it might not address significant sagging or ptosis. If your primary concern is sagging, a traditional breast lift might offer a more comprehensive result. At 26, it's essential to choose a procedure that aligns with your long-term aesthetic goals. While implants can add volume, without proper lift, there's potential for dissatisfaction. It's always best to revisit your concerns with your surgeon or consider a second opinion before proceeding.

Answer: Case Analysis Hi,After reviewing your photos I can tell that you have good breast footprint, and you will have good result with breast augmentation with implants in terms of breast volume increase. In my opinion the BEST result will be achieved with a breast augmentation with implants and a small periareolar lift, so that way you can elevate minimally the nipple position (so they will be symmetrical in position) and reduce the size of the areola.Hope this will be helpful.Dr. Enrique Quiros Lim
