Round block breast uplift techniques

The Benelli breast uplift (concentric, or peri-areolar or doughnut lift)
This technique is considered less invasive and was designed with the scars being around the areolae. With the Benelli, a donut shaped piece of tissue around the areola border is removed and the surrounding tissue sutured to the areola. The incisions are normally closed with purse string sutures. Sometimes a little more tissue is removed above the areola (like the crescent) to compensate for a lifting effect when it is sutured. The Benelli lift results in a flatter, rounder breast shape post-operatively as opposed to a sloped breast. The flatter aspect after the uplift is, however, temporary, and given time to settle a pleasant effect does ususally occur quickly.

The Benelli breast uplift can be combined with breast augmentation in cases of moderate ptosis(saginess) of the breast and a very empty skin envelope.

Areola Reduction Surgery
Some women may be displeased with the size of their areolae which may be enlarged due to genetic predisposition, previously having had large breasts then undergoing tissue loss, stretching of the areola due to implants or other reasons. The areola reduction surgery is designed to remove the redundant areola tissue to improve the overall cosmetic appearance of enlarged areolae. The reduction may result in a slight lift and may also produce slight irregularities at the incision line if the reduction was significant.

Again the approach can be combined with  breast augmentation via implants
