I am considering a peri-areolar breast lift w/ breast implants and have read various pros (less invasive, less visible scarring) and cons (scar stretching, breast/areola flattening). I'm a small B/large A (different sizes), with mild grade 2 ptosis, hoping to get to a full C. I've seen 3 surgeons so far, 2 that recommended Benelli Lift, and 1 that suggested the regular anchor as he never seen a periareolar lift without the above mentioned cons. Also, I have not had children yet but plan to within the next 8 years. What sort of effect will that have? Thanks!

Answer: Before and after photos help to see the difference between breast lift procedures The better lift for you depends on how much lifting is needed. The benneli lift (around the nipple) usually works best for small amounts of lift. If you need more lifting, a lift with incision around the nipple and vertically to the bottom of the breast works. If you need the greatest amount of lifting, the anchor shaped incision (around the nipple, vertically to the bottom of the breast, and in the crease underneath) works. I find that patients are much happier having a breast that is properly shaped even if it takes more incision.

Answer: Pros and Cons of Benelli Lift? The Benelli breast lift involves removing skin completely around the areola. This circumferential excision involves more skin excision superiorly and inferiorly, allowing for the nipple/areola to be moved up. It is a useful breast lift for a limited number of patients given that only a small degree of breast lifting can be achieved with the technique. Also, the breast profile (side view) tends to flatten with this procedure. Sometimes, areolar spreading can occur.Again, proper patient selection ( as with any plastic surgical procedure) is key.I hope this, and the attached link, helps.
