Will a benelli lift reduce areola puffiness? How will this affect my areola shape and size? (photos)

The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, implants can be exchanged.

Dear Friendly859372,
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. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Some benelli lifts turn out ok and others are terrible. In your case not worth the risk. I’ve seen to many bad scars

The areolae can be made smaller. However, when you are going larger, the areolae might stretch back out over time. they then could be revised under local anesthesia in the office if needed.
