Can a Benelli breast lift revision be performed sooner than 6 months post op?

It's generally advisable to wait for at least 6 months to a year before considering a revision after a cosmetic surgery procedure. This waiting period allows for the initial healing and settling of tissues. Rushing into a revision before this time can lead to inaccurate assessments of the final outcome.

Performing a revision too early can pose potential complications, as tissues may not have fully stabilized, and the final results may not be apparent. It's crucial to follow your surgeon's guidance and allow sufficient time for the healing process.

While you may be eager for corrections, patience is often key in achieving the best and most stable results from a revision surgery.

Best of luck !

Dear Sensible57165,
I understand your concern. Sometimes it is possible to get revision surgery earlier. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Unfortunately the benelli lift has its problems.. you may be better off converting the lift to a lollipop type lift instead

Typically, breast lift revisions are recommended after allowing the initial healing period, which is often around six months. It’s crucial to consult with your surgeon to assess your specific situation and discuss the possibility of an earlier revision if necessary. They can provide recommendations based on your healing progress and individual circumstances.

It's best to wait at least six months before considering a revision to allow time for the tissues to heal and the scar to mature. Some opt for the Benelli approach when they are not good candidates to avoid more incisions. The end results can be too much tension on the incisions and a poor result. Be sure to consult with board certified plastic surgeons to ensure you are a good candidate for this procedure before proceeding with a revision.

You probably were not "botched", but did have issues with would healing. It is best to let your tissue heal and calm down before doing another revision. This usually takes 6 months. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon.

There are several reasons why plastic surgeons ask patients to wait six months before doing revision surgery. Sometimes we ask patients to wait even longer. There are several reasons for this. One of them is that we need scar tissue to be fully mature before doing a revision surgery. Scar maturation typically takes six months.
If someone had a delayed healing in the six month, period usually starts when the patient no longer had open wounds.
Benelli mastopexy surgery has a high incidence of complications and undesirable side effects. This is especially true when the procedure is done on individuals who needed a more extensive mastopexy in the first place.
I recommend you follow up with your plastic surgeons and follow their recommendations. If you want a proper second opinion, consultation scheduled those in person consultation with other providers to see what they have to say.
Best,
