Thank you for you question, The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc). It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski
The answer to your question is "yes". A breast reduction and an uplift (mastopexy) are very closely related procedures. In both operations, the breast is reshaped, usually moving the nipple to a higher position. In a reduction, tissue is removed to facilitate the reshaping and to leave the patient with a smaller, lifted breast. In a mastopexy, all of the breast tissue is preserved and reshaped. If you are considering breast reduction surgery, you will be assessed by a surgeon who can explain this in greater detail.
