Looking into breast lift options, thought on the Bellesoma method? Is this more expensive than regular breast lift?

Question

Hello, I am looking into breast lift options. I have mild sagging due to weight loss, and c cup breasts. I’m getting a lot of negative reviews on things like laser breast lift and donut breast lift. My thing is, I don’t think my breasts are big or saggy enough for a lollipop breast lift. I truly do not want any huge scars. Iv read about the Bellesoma method, who performs this? Is this more expensive than regular breast lift? Why is it so hard to find a doctor for it? Any thoughts on it?

I am Gary Horndeski, the inventor of The Bellesoma Method.  The operation takes 4-6 hours to perform depending on the size of the breasts.  The cost is comparable to other lifts.  There are very few physicians who are trained in this technique since it is currently licensed through myself.  I developed this technique to avoid the vertical scars associated with the traditional techniques while adding the mechanically strength of the internal weight transfer.  I am located in Houston, TX.

Best Wishes,

Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Dear Gregarious670292,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

The Bellasoma lift, just like the doughnut lift, is specific and is not for every lady. What can be done is limited and sometimes the shape is not best. Some surgeons choose not to bother with this method because of its limitations.
