benelli lift with areola reduction

doubleanxious · 11-16-2009, 01:30 PM

good morning ladies! i finally scheduled my breast augmentation implant exchange with benelli lift and areola reduction for dec 11... i am very nervous... i currently have 300cc salines overfilled to 330 and 320... now i am going with silicone and would like to be a whole cup size bigger to hopefully fill in the gap... i like the midrange profile and am thinking about 397cc or 421cc... my preop is on nov 24th so i will discuss more with my ps.... what size do you ladies reccomend? i am 5'2" about 116 lbs and have a 28 1/2 ribcage... also for the ladies tha have done the benelli with areola reduction... did the ps just go through the areola or did he make another incision under the crease for the implants??? i was just wondering if i needed 2 separate incisions... my other question is.. how is the healing? do you think by xmas i should be fine to be around family? i am not telling anyone, my family does not even know about my past breast augmentation 5 years ago... is the recovery really easier the second time around... i have a 1 year old i need to care for and also my parents live about 5 minutes away.. do you think its possible i can conceal my recovery from them,, by pretending im getting sick and wearing a robe when they come by... i'm so excited and nervous...

not sure about the other, but in terms of hiding you're recovery that's what i did. everyone just thought i was sick. luckily most of them didn't come around for am little over a week.

Hey there! I just wanted to let you know that I had a Benelli lift and what my PS does is go through the peri-areolar incision, but then tunnels internally down to the crease and places the implant that way. So luckily there are not 2 separate incisions, it is all done internally. Hope that helps!! As for hiding your recovery, I guess it is possible, but you will have to be careful with all the lifting of your little one.

I had the same surgery and I am very happy with the results. Just one scar. But it did take me a while to recover and I think you shuld consider who is going to help with your 1 year old. Will your DH be home for some time to help out? My PS did not want me to lift over my head or lift anything heavier than 3 lbs for a few weeks.
I hear your excitement. It will be well worth it!
Good Luck!

When I had mine reduced, he just put the implants in, in the same scar, so I dont have 2 seperate, which I was glad about because I already had a big snough scar from having them lifted.
I also have a 4 months old baby and I was fine after a week lifting him.
