Are there any doctors performing the horndeski method for breast reductions in the UK? (Photos)

Question

Severe ptosis, assymetry, large cup size (34J U.K. Size)

Jaime S. Schwartz, MD, FACS · Answer

I appreciate your question.

I perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast I then remove the skin to tighten the breast and create a better shape with nice cleavage. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It works very well if there are asymmetries. I can also use the removed fat as a natural breast augmentation by grafting the fat back into the breast to create more projection or into the top to create more cleavage. This procedure can also be combined with an implant if needed or wanted.  It should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. In fact, most women have more sensation after the procedure. If you gain or lose weight, the transferred fat can do the same.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.

Best of luck!

Hello and thank you for your question. You are a great candidate for a breast reduction. The incision type, surgical technique, and other details of your surgery is based on your desired versus existing breast size and shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. The no-vertical-incision breast reduction technique is a specific type of breast reduction / lift that many surgeons use infrequently, if at all. As with all specialized surgical techniques, proper patient selection is critical to success. The decision to have this surgery should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation in person with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
