Different Doctors Have Suggested Benelli or Full Anchor Lift, Which Would be Best?
Question for Denver Plastic Surgeon Dr. John Squires about Benelli:
I have consulted with two board certified plastic surgeons in regards to having full abdominoplasty and breast lift. One surgeon said all I would need is a Benelli lift, the other said I need a full “anchor” lift. Why is there such a discrepancy? And why not a lollipop? After having 6 kids, and breastfeeding all of them, I just want my breasts to be back where they once were, and to stay in my bra when I lean over!! All of this just seems to get more confusing… Please help!
Answer from Dr. John Squires:
Breasts with minimal to moderate ptosis often can be treated with several different types of breast lift, depending on what you want your results to be. If you are happy with a conservative amount of lifting that will leave you with a natural but still not extremely perky result, a well done Benelli lift will give you a good result. Since the Benelli lift is not an extremely powerful one, I commonly use an implant to help fill out the breast volume and lift the breasts. If you want a very perky appearing result, a vertical mastopexy with the lollipop incision would be more appropriate.
