The most common procedure is the
Benelli Lift. A donut of skin is removed from
the flesh colored area. Large areolas may
require a lollypop shaped closure; this is when the
scar runs down from the nipple and around the areola
to close like a lollipop. Often areola enhancement
surgery is part of a mastopexy - breast
reduction - or breast lift surgery.
Our goal is to
minimize scarring. Your esthetic surgeon will discuss
with you the possibilities for the best possible
result.

The Benelli doughnut,
peri-areolar correction:
This technique is considered
less invasive and was designed with the scars
being around the areolae.
A donut shaped piece of
tissue around the areola border is removed and
the surrounding tissue sutured to the areola.
Sometimes a little more tissue is removed
above the areola to compensate for a lifting
effect when it is sutured.
The scars have a nasty
tendency to become hypertrophic, which may
necessitate a conversion to a Lollipop
Procedure.

The Benelli-Lollipop:
Straight incisions from
under the areolae to the mammary fold are made
to reduce slight sagging (ptosis) of the
areola.
This technique is for those who
have too much for the simple Benelli Lift only
and too little for a full mastopexy incision. |

Breast Reduction surgery
Breast Lift surgery with areola correction:
The incisions are made in
the shape of an anchor at the natural crease
of the breast up to the areola.
Excess skin and breast
tissue can be removed to lift a sagging breast
or to reduce the size of the breast. The shape
of the areola will be corrected at the same
time.
