Looking for a Topless Beach After the Horndeski Bellesome Lift.

My husband and I went to Houston, pre coronavirus, where I had a Bellesoma breast lift.
The doctor has a great deal of passion for his trade, At present, I can go bra-free and wear a backless dress in a few days, 
HIs office staff is efficient and helpful. One strange thing that they told me was that I had to get rid of my nail polish. 
As an RN, I know that is not true, You simply flip the pulse-Ox machine to the side of your finger without a nail. 
Otherwise--a great doctor who does only 1 case a day.

Traveled to Houston for the Bellesoma Lift.

Dr. Horndeski was professional and courteous. His office staff is superb. My husband was impressed with the fact that Dr. Horndeski obviously loves what he does. Because of his early training in math and engineering, he designed a treatment using these modalities. Although a handful of surgeons have been trained in this technique, I wanted to go to the original inventor. Dr. Horndeski has done 2500 of these lifts, so he is the expert.
I just returned home a few days ago, and it will take 6 months to reveal the results.
If you choose this type of lift, know that you will be wearing a bra 24/7 for 16 weeks. In addition, you may not raise your arms during the first month more than 90 degrees. That one is difficult to remember. I finally realized that we have a step stool! I am quite tall, which helps in everyday activities, but now I will be using the stool instead of asking my husband for help every other minute.
I chose this type of lift because I wanted to retain nipple sensation and I did not like the look of vertical scars.
I am lucky to heal quickly without raised (Keloid) scars. One other post surgical tip that I can add is to get plenty of protein and take large quantities of Vitamin C. Forming new collagen is dependent on these two elements. Perhaps that is the reason I heal quickly, and without terrible scars.
I will not be adding a picture to this review until I am at least 4 months post op. At that time, I may be able to remove the bra to give a better review.
