i’m 24. i had a baby 9 months ago. my boobs used to be super perky and i was wondering what i should do to get them back to how they used too look. also should i do an areola reconstruction to reduce nipple size?
Answer: Would a Benelli lift and implants help me achieve the same perky look I had pre pregnancy? You do need a breast lift along with augmentation. The Benelli or donut lift should really be called the 'Do Not' lift - it provides little lift, usually results in enlarged areolas and often produces ugly scars. The donut lift should be done as rarely as possible. I nearly always do a vertical, or lollipop breast lift. The anchor lift should only be done in very droopy breasts; in my very busy breast practice I nearly never do the anchor lift. I recommend smooth, round, cohesive silicone gel implants under the muscle. It is important to keep in mind that the larger the implant, the faster your lift will come down. You need to be sensible in choosing your implant size. The combined lift and augmentation is a challenging operation. I advise you to see a very experienced plastic surgeon with expertise in aesthetic breast procedures. All the best.

Answer: Breast lift Dear deeval, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Answer: Achieving Pre-Pregnancy Perkiness: Benelli Lift with Implants Hi Deeval, Thank you for reaching out with your question about achieving a perky look similar to what you had before pregnancy. Your detailed history and the photos you provided greatly assist in offering a tailored response. Based on your situation, I recommend considering breast augmentation combined with a Benelli, doughnut, or peri-areolar breast lift. This approach will help restore the volume of your breasts. The choice between placing implants above or below the muscle will depend on the look you are aiming for. For more pronounced upper pole cleavage, placing the implant above the muscle is advisable, while for a more natural appearance, under the muscle would be preferable. A thorough physical examination and implant sizing will be crucial to determine the ideal implant size for you. I would lean towards high profile or ultra-high profile implants, judging from your photos and body proportions, and I recommend smooth wall, silicone implants for a natural feel and appearance. The implant insertion method around the areola allows for the combined benefit of a Benelli, doughnut, or peri-areolar breast lift. This technique not only repositions but also resizes the areola, contributing to the overall aesthetic you desire. In summary, I believe that a Benelli lift with implants will effectively help you regain the perky appearance you enjoyed pre-pregnancy. I am confident that with the right approach, you will be delighted with the results. Sincerely, J. Timothy Katzen, MD, FASMBS, FICS Plastic and Aesthetic Surgeon

Answer: Lift You will need at least a vertical lift to reshape your breasts better. You might consider small implants behind the muscle for better upper breast fullness. If you plan to have more children, then wait for now.

Answer: Lift with implants From the photos it appears a lift with a small implant will help you to get closer to your pre-pregnancy look. During this surgery the areola can be reduced as well. A small implant will provide more upper pole fullness to restore the "perkiness". See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
