These photos show how Dr. Yamini, a Beverly Hills based plastic surgeon was able to use a Benelli Breast Lift and augmentation with silicone implants (390cc). Dr. Yamini used a circumareolar technique used to limit the scar to only around the areola. At 3 weeks post-operation, the incisions will become less noticeable as the healing process continues.

This is a 44 y.o. mother of two who previously had fuller sized breasts before pregnancy. She consulted with Dr. Svehlak to help lift and give more fullness to her breasts.

Dr. Svehlak performed a Benelli breast lift (Donut Mastopexy) with placement of silicone implants below the muscle.  The implants were Allergan Style 20 325cc each.  She was very happy with the improved fullness and shape of her breasts.

She also had a lower abdominal scar revised.

This patient wanted larger breasts, so she consulted with Dr. Yamini, a Los Angeles based plastic surgeon. Dr. Yamini encouraged her to consider the Benelli breast lift and augmentation.  Dr. Yamini  gave this patient a dual plane silicone breast augmentation with 330cc implants and Benelli breast lift with the incision only around the nipple. These photos show before and 10 days after post-op. Incisions well blend further as they heal.

What Is the Benelli Breast Lift

The Benelli breast lift at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery addresses mild to moderate breast sagging, loss of volume, and a deflated appearance. Through a carefully crafted circumareolar incision—forming a gentle circle around the areola—this technique ensures minimal visible scarring. Dr. Yamini and Dr. Svehlak’s Benelli lift expertly elevate the nipple position, restore breast fullness, and enhance overall breast shape. Our patients love their Benelli breast lift before and after results!

Benelli Lift Advantages

A Benelli lift is also a good choice for those with enlarged, widened, or uneven areolas. Instead of an anchor-shaped scar below each breast, as with a traditional breast lift, the incision on a Benelli lift is made only around the areolas. Sometimes, this lift is also called a donut breast lift, because excess skin is removed in a doughnut shape all the way around the areolas.

After a lift surgery, it is usually possible to return to work within a week or so, depending on your job. In many cases, our Los Angeles-area patients resume most of their normal activities, including some form of mild exercise, after several weeks.

Benelli Lift Disadvantages

  • More difficult than a traditional lift, this procedure requires a high level of skill and an experienced surgeon, so it is recommended that it only be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with plenty of specific experience in this procedure (both Dr. Svelak and Dr. Yamini are double board-certified plastic surgeons).
  • This lift cannot be used for extremely saggy breasts. If there is too much extra skin, a traditional incision will usually be recommended.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

The Benelli lift is ideal for individuals whose breasts have experienced mild to moderate sagging or deflation due to factors such as weight changes, pregnancy, or aging. This procedure also benefits those with uneven, enlarged, or widened areolas. Candidates need to be in good health and have realistic expectations for the procedure’s outcomes.

Risks and Side Effects

As with any surgical procedure, the Benelli breast lift carries certain risks and potential side effects. These include the possibility of scarring, infection, implant-related complications, changes in sensation, and variations in results. Open dialogue with Dr. Yamini and Dr. Svehlak during your consultation will ensure a thorough understanding of these factors.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the Benelli breast lift suitable for extremely saggy breasts?

    The procedure is most effective for mild to moderate sagging. For significant sagging, Dr. Svehlak and Dr. Yamini may recommend alternative approaches.

    What is the typical recovery period?

    The donut breast lift surgery recovery period is minimal with most patients usually returning to work within a week. However, strenuous activity and exercise are limited for several months to ensure optimal healing.

    Can the Benelli lift be combined with other procedures?

    Definitely! Procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation, or asymmetry correction can help achieve comprehensive enhancements.

    Are there other breast surgery options?

    In some cases, a patient may be an ideal candidate for the Benelli lift, or a more traditional lift may be called for. Similarly, the ultimate desired look may be best achieved with a breast reduction, or surgery to correct breast asymmetry. Some procedures can be performed as a standalone cosmetic solution, while others can be combined for an overall rejuvenating effect.

    What is the cost of the Benelli breast lift?

    Costs can vary based on factors such as surgeon expertise and location. Schedule a donut breast lift consultations with Dr. Yamini and Dr. Svehlak provide accurate estimates.

    Is the procedure painful?

    While discomfort levels vary, patients may experience some discomfort during the initial recovery. Pain management options are discussed during consultations.
