Lots of puckering with Benelli?? - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

I know I'm only four/five days out here, but I'm freaking out a little over the excessive puckering I have with the Benelli lift. I'm trying to figure out how to make my own yahoo group and upload photos so those who've been through it can tell me if this all looks normal?! If any of you have had puckering around the areola, how long did it last? Are your scars bad? Help!

I also had the Benelli lift. My puckering lasted a few weeks... it will get better over time- trust me! My scars around the areolas still aren't the prettiest, but my PS says that they will get better over time. I am noticing a gradual change with them... but so far it's been a very slow progression. I have a pic of my puckering at its worst. I'll try to upload it now. Just a warning- its pretty ugly!!! I think it was taken about 2 days out.

Puckering is pretty normal for a benelli, it usually sorts itself out.

I still have some puckering, but it is gradually lessening as my boobs go through the settling and de-swelling process. I definitely see a huge difference between what they look like now and what they looked like when the stitches were removed. Don't fret, it does take some time, but they will start to look good.

I also have some puckering, although it's getting better. Do you have dissolvable stitches? If so, they might start migrating to the surface and rear their ugly heads. Don't panic if that happens, call your PS and ask them what they want you to do. When they do make it to the surface they create an opening, so that has to heal all over again, making another place that isn't smooth and "pucker-free." Just know that it'll take months before it looks like a "normal" areola!

Thanks gals! That makes me feel so much better. Can you believe I don't know if my stitches are dissolvable or not?! I guess I'll find out at my post op this week.

well... if theyre not dissolvable, i cant tell you this: they dont hurt coming out... it may feel a little strange.. but no pain at all!
