Hanging off Implants

Newbie05 · 06-21-2009, 11:24 AM

Dr. Sorokin,

I am almost 4 weeks PO and i was boarderline lift but my PS said he would lower the fold that might fix the issue, But know my breast look good when I have the strap on, but if I take it off they hang. Is it still to early to tell? And if so can is there a way to fix it with out having a redo with a lift?

thank you

The comments "borderline lift" and "lower the fold to avoid lift" are scary to me. I see so many women who have had bad first surgery in the attempt to "avoid lifts." No woman wants a lift if she doesn't need it. Many women simply need a lift. Trying to avoid a lift often results in disappointment. At this point you need to give things time. You are only 4 weeks postop. It will take months for you to know for certain. You can always email me a photo if you would like so I can give you a real opinion, but for now, I would say you need to give things time.... Good luck!

I have a few questions regarding the Benelli Lift. How long after a breast augmentation can I do the Benelli Lift? Where would you do the surgery, can it be done in the office under local? How much do you charge for the operation?

Thank you

I wish I could honestly answer this question but I cannot as I do not know what needs to be done. Are you really a candidate for this type of lift? Is it just a skin excision or tightening of the breast structure itself? Unless I see you and get a real exam and review what you have had done previously I simply can't really answer the questions. I have done benelli lifts in the office. Ideally they are done in the OR with at least some sedation. It really is the type of thing that needs to be decided on an individual basis. Cost really depends on what needs to be done and if it is done in the office or OR this also influences cost. I am more than happy to see you in a complimentary consultation to go over your options. Thanks, and hopefully we can meet soon.
