How Much Skin/tissue Can Be Removed with a Benelli/donut Lift?

The Benelli Breast Lift has limited indications.   In the right candidate, it can offer fantastic results.    

I also find that the closure is of paramount importance with a Benelli/Circumareolar Breast Lift to prevent the areola from widening.   I always use a permanent gortex suture to prevent and minimize this areola widening.  Most patients can safely get 2 cm of nipple lift with a Benelli, anything more would benefit from a lollipop incision.

I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.

When properly performing a Benelli lift the outer circle diameter should be no greater than 8 cm.   This type of breast lift has the highest level of patient dissatisfaction because it gets pushed further than it was designed.  I would agree that a vertical lift is a much better choice but an examination would be needed to give you a definitive answer.
