This is a procedure I had been considering for a long time, but I didn't want the vertical scars. When I found Dr. Horndeski, I knew I found a solution! I was willing to travel to Houston from California to get the results I wanted. I am only 4 days post surgery and am thrilled with the results! Dr. Horndeski and his staff were wonderful to work with and answered all my questions before I made the committment and were very helpful when I was there. If you are considering a breast lift or reduction, this is the only Doctor who does the procedure this way.

The healing process has been slow. I took a bath befor the suture line had completely healed and ended up getting an infection in my left breast. I had two open wounds for over a month that I had to treat multiple times per day. Now that they ate closed, I am healing nicely. I am still very glad I had the procedure done and am very happy with my doctor.

I had very droopy breasts after nursing two children and I had challenges finding bras that fit properly and supported me. I was a 32DD. I am still a 32DD, but they are firm and lifted! I could go without a bra if I wanted to. The scaring is in the shadow of the breast and hard to see if you are looking at me from the front.

Hello,

I saw that you got your breast lift by Gary Horndeski, I am trying to decide who I want to chose and was wondering if you are still happy with the results?

I am thrilled with my results! The follow up from Dr. Hordeski's assistant Elisa has been amazing!! I will post pictures soon!

Sorry to hear about the slow healing! I hope all is much better. Did you receive clearance from the doctor to shower/take a bath while in TX? If so, how long did you stay there as I've booked my surgery but I am only staying a week so I hope that's enough time...

I had gotten clearance to shower. I waited two weeks before taking a bath, I should have waited until it was completely sealed up. A week should be enough time. I only stayed 5 days and I really wasn't ready to travel. Good luck! You will be thrilled!

Ok! And you didn't want to be a little smaller than a DD? I'm a 34G now and would like to be a 34D so that I can have room to play with (i.e., children and breast feeding in the future). I don't want to be too small but I want my breasts to be perky, full, and round like implants but I feel the DD would be too big especially since the lift makes them look bigger. I want to go without a bra and the fact that you can do that with a DD is amazing!!! Sorry for the long diatribe, I'll just have to wait to see the pics-LOL!!!

Glad to find someone else that saw Dr.H! Yes, ELISA I great! I'm so glad I made this decision. Don't you just love your results! When did you have yours done? I had mine April 3rd.

I'm going to get my scars fixed next month. Some are thicker because of the infection.

Did the upper pole fullness diminish over the year or is the volume still sufficient?

It's still full.
