I should have just gotten a full lift. I didn't want the anchor scars but my boobs are scarred anyhow and not positioned how I would like. I'm thinking of replant and lift at this point. What a waste of money ....

I am pretty frustrated that this is what my boobs look like after 2 surgeries. One benelli lift with implants and then another operation to fix the right side which is puckering underneath and it still is!! I even had a drain and everything. I'm nérvous to have to go through a third surgery to try and fix this

How are you doing? I finally got thAt God awful job by Motykie fixed. Wasted loads of time pain and money but maybe if he didn't do such a mess up on me I wouldn't have been in a necessity situation to get fixed by new doctor. I just wished I had researched a bit better in the first place. I've had a tT and a breast implant removal and lift w dr Moellekan and he's amazing, he's kind and gentle and talented and I feel a million times better already. :)

I haven't yet.. Just hit my year mark. I'm researching surgeons and trying to take it slow. Please feel free to message me anytime both of you. It's such a cruel thing we got stuck with... I still can't believe these are my breasts, I thought paying a surgeon 7k would make the world of difference for my deflation, but it created much worse and unnatural problems. I was very trusting. I'm so disappointed. I plan to do a vertical lift and Explant in the future. I can't live with these things. Horrible lateral displacement and ended up much, much bigger than I ever wanted. Nipples scars are ugly and spreading in one spot, perm suture causes areolas to be herniated all the time and just looks so strange. I try to keep my bra on at all times and not think about it. Hard to beleive I was so much more comfortable nude before this surgery and that's the reason j had my breasts done. I hope I can get that feeling back one day.

I had all the same feelings. Felt my body was hideous in the end after motykie but now I am feeling like the future looks bright again after I went to new surgeon, who is gentle and kind. I actually prayed to find a surgeon w a kind, healing touch and I feel confident I picked the right one this time. I'm only 9 days post but I am loving my new boobs and those awful puckered weird benelli scars were way more embarrassing than these thin lines !

Same here! Maybe you should get some other opinions. I think the satisfaction rating for Benelli lifts are so terrible, docs should not be performing them! If only I knew then what I know now I would have never trusted my surgeon and ruined my breasts.

I still have one wonky boob. I got dr motykie to "fix" it so that means another surgery on it with a drain and all... It still does not have fullness and seems encapsulated. Pretty dissapointing .. I plan to get a different surgeon to fix it when I can. I will post a pic if anyone is interested to see what I mean :(

I'm so sorry! So did you get an implant with the lift? Just curious what size and type? I think your result looks pretty good on the picture, sorry you had a complication.
