Wanting smaller implant to fill me out after breastfeeding. Am I a good candidate for a Benelli lift? (photos)

A definitive answer to your questions would require an in person physical examination. There is a limit to the amount of lift that can be achieved with a Benelli type lift. Your photos suggest the this would be inadequate. Depending on your goals the implant size you mentioned should provide good volume.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. 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 then get to choose what looks right for them. 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.

Measurements are needed to be certain, but you appear to need more than just the peri-areolar lift. I think the vertical lift would serve you better.
