How to care for permanent suture after benelli lift?

Question

I am 5 weeks post off breast augmentation and benelli lift. My surgeon used a permanent suture around the areola and I wanted to ask how strong they are/how careful I need to be? For example, would stretching and arching my back (which moves the breast forward and puts tention on the areolas) stretch out or potentially break the permanent purse string suture? Also for exercising? I am just not sure how careful I need to be? Thanks

Hello,You do not have to be careful with activities to try to prevent suture disruption. It is unlikely going to happen. You may stretch ad lib.Best of luck!

Hello
dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. Ask your surgeon about the possible risks that can happen after your procedure and also how to take care about your wounds always. The incisions can open very easily after your procedure. 
The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by
different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging.
To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a
mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift
restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging
breasts. This not only can improve a patient’s appearance by restoring her
youthful, feminine proportions, but  also help bras and swimsuits fit
more comfortably and attractively.By removing excess, stretched out skin,
reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more
forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast
contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast
lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast,
hugs!

I am not a fan of the beneli lift as it is a/w poor lift results and poor areola scarring; the problem is that despite use of permanent sutures, the tissues will eventually stretch out and around the suture and it will lose its function. The preferred technique is the breast augmentaiton with vertical lift.
