Could I expect to see weird sagging in the long run using the Bellesoma breast lift? I notice some ladies do not have their incisions at the bottom in the traditional anchor location is this due to their nipple not being far enough below the fold? The Bellesoma method seems so "common sense" to me, I wonder if I am missing something significant that would make it not the first go to for professionals.

Answer: Is the Horndeski Method Common Sense That is a very good question. The Horndeski / Bellasoma method is a technique of avoiding the vertical scar in the standard breast lift. In a similar way as the Binelli Doughnut mastopexy has specific patients that it works well on, the Horndeski method appears very limited in that very few patients present with anatomy that is applicable to this technique (My opinion). The vertical incision is critical to sculpting the breast in most patients with severe ptosis. By not making that scar, you potentially lose the ability to optimally shape the breast (Similar to a Doughnut Mastopexy, you sacrifice shape for avoiding the additional scar). By relying heavily on the scar in the breast crease to generate the result puts more stress on that scar, which may make it heal in a less desirable way. A few patients may have the right situation to make a good result possible . The method is seeing a lot of well- crafted traffic on the internet which has generated a lot of web interest. The concept is novel and well within the abilities of most Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. I would recommend that you seek the advice of an experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who is well versed in all the techniques of breast surgery so you can make the best decision.
