Breast lift w/ implants over 6mo ago to address -lifting breast -increasing volume -reducing nipple size -correct asymmetry -improve fullness at top of breast where chest wall can be felt 36 B/C before surgery. 34D before children. Lollipop technique w/ 390cc implants communicated but changed to Benelli during surgery. Breasts still sagging. White incision lines w/i areola. Now told lift + reshaping is not possible w/ implant size, asymmetry and areola outside of white scar not fixable.
Answer: Substandard result Your result and your story of surgeon changing to Benelli during surgery does not sound like a American Board of Plastic Surgery certified surgeon, much less a breast surgery expert. You needed a full, anchor scar pattern mastopexy with some tissue reduction along with the implants. You should disconnect from your surgeon and spend more time searching out an experienced revision breast surgeon expert.

Answer: Lift Based on the photos you were never a candidate for the Benelli lift. In order to improve your results a revision including a standard lift would need to be considered. Visit with a few board certified plastic surgeons near you for professional opinions.

Answer: Breasts You would have done best with first a lift, and then add implants. With implants, you need to go down in size or you will just stretch again and sag. Going smaller, the lift can be repeated and the areolar scarring and size can be addressed. You will need at least the lift with the vertical component and maybe the anchor. Measurements are needed to be certain. If you want to stay lifted, you need to be smaller.

Answer: This is fixable Thank you for the photos, I don’t think the Benelli is the right option. A lollipop (circumferential) lift can actually lift things to where they need to go, and it places the tension on the bottom of the breast, not the areola. I would convert this to a lollipop lift next month

Answer: Breast Lift with Large Implants It is possible/probable that your concerns could be addressed by converting to a full anchor type mastopexy. There is a good chance your implant size would not have to be reduced, but a more definitive answer would require a physical examination. Revisit your concerns with your surgeon to discuss your options. You can also seek another opinion with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
