The Bellesoma Method was developed by Gary Horndeski, M.D. in Sugar Land, Texas. Currently there are four other doctors trained in the technique: Shim Ching, M.D. (Honolulu, HI), Kaye Riolo, M.D. (Fresno, CA), Daniel Brown, M.D. (La Jolla, CA) and Mahmood Kara, M.D. (Toronto, ON). Currently there are no doctors in Chicago trained in the technique. This technique has evolved out of necessity. Women refuse to have vertical scars on their breasts, they do not want implants and they want to maintain nipple sensitivity and the ability to breast feed. Women want to keep their breasts proportionate to their body and do not want excessive reduction to eliminate breast associated pain. The Bellesoma Method has continuously evolved over the last seventeen years to meet women’s desires. Each woman is unique and The Bellesoma Method uses computer analysis of breast images. These are combined with her desires to determine the optimal surgical solution. This technology is proprietary and currently limited to the five doctors mentioned. I consider the anchor lift obsolete and have not used it in over twenty years and would not recommend it to anyone. The Bellesoma Method was presented at the Aesthetic Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada on April 2, 2016. I am in the process of submitting a paper for publication. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
