My Benelli Journey - Cleveland, OH

I am 35 year old mother of one child that I breast fed (mostly pumped). I am 5-7" and weigh around 130 lbs. I have tubular breasts and had asymetric breasts (right smaller than left). I got silicone implants- 450 in left and 495 in right. I went on 4 consults with 4 board certified plastic surgeons in my area. I trusted the advice to have the benelli lift but should not have! I am writing this blog to help other girls- don't have that type of lift!! I have spread aerolas (but permanent sutures were placed), I have dull pain 6. Mos later, still spitting stitches etc. I also have herniated aerolas, can feel the permanent suture, and have sunburst ing (vein growth) on one side, I hope this can be fixed one day. I paid $10k for this bad outcome. Before I had small decent looking small breasts, now I have big ugly naked breasts. If you are borderline for needing a lift then don't get one or get a vertical lift. If they tell you that you need an anchor lift (no one told me that) then get that, look on here and see beautiful results of girls with that lift- the scars fade and results look beautiful!! Please don't get the benelli, I will keep you updated on my progress (I am 6 mos. post op now). I am too shy to post pictures, but trust me they are not pretty

6 mos. post op and still have pain- no way this is normal and now I am fearful I will live with it forever- could my doc have given me permanent nerve damage- what could this pain be? Pain in left breast oh and did I mention my open wound on that side? Yep still spitting stitches?! What can I do, this is affecting my quality of life and I feel like there's no hope - cant afford a revision (plus even if I could, I worry about more complications and how selfish I feel) and worried a revision could cause more damage- research your doc!! Don't get benelli!!!

I am 8 mos. now, not much has changed unfortunately. I still have intermitent pain. I still get an occassional popped stitch. My aerolas are stretched and ugly and I have widened scars. My hope is for my results to stabilize. I hope that pain subsides completely. I will save money for a redo but hoping I can live with this for now. I have resorted to avoiding mirrors while naked. I look at my boobs in the shower to check for any popped stitches. This is beyond my worst nightmare. Please be careful. This lift is not your best bet. Wait til you have a consensus from doctors on what procedures you need (I had 4 differing opinions), you will end up spending twice the money you thought, have more surgery than you bargained for and may never get an aesthetically pleasing result- please don't get benelli!!! I will keep you updated
