I've been considering a breast lift for a very long time. I recently came across the Horndeski method and I am very intrigued by the possibility of no vertical scar. I found a doctor in my area who is being trained by Horndeski and I'm considering being his 5th patient. I've been pouring through reviews on Real Self to help me make a decision. Will the light, perky boobs be worth the risk, pain and scars?

Can't decide

I'm leaning toward waiting...still interested but just can't decide if the perky boobs will be worth the inevitable pain and scars. Took these swimsuit photos to help decide. What would you do?

If the top doesn't offer much lift, I think they look great. Otherwise it's hard to tell.

I could pretty much write your post. Photos would be pretty comparable. I gravitate towards halter a so I can tighten them up! I love the idea of a lift. I pour over real self reviews waiting for the perfect doctor to come along. Hoping one day to find the guts to do it! Have you had a few consults?

I've had two consults and have been reading reviews for years. Finally found a doctor I like but still hesitant.

I have comparable shape and am waiting for you!!!! I've thought about doing it for a long time, but never did it. Now I see these photos of the nipple sewn on and I question my self. I have to look up this Horndeski thing you write about..what is it?

I looked it up and its awesome. I want it!!! $11K is pretty damn steep, but just the weight off and more anchored would be worth that! No scar is a bonus! Do you know how much Horndeski himself charges? Have you seen all the photos from this DR from the 5 patients? What exactly does his 'training' from Horndeski consist of, do you know?

It's a complicated procedure. This is what I know. (I'm no expert) They lift and anchor the breast tissue to the underlying muscle, then pull down the skin and create a new nipple hole. There's proprietary formula used to determine where the incisions should go. Dr. L has done it 3 times before and looking to do another 3 in June. Dr H runs the numbers w the formula and is present during surgery but Dr L does the procedures. I was going to do it in June but the timing is bad for me. I'm hoping he gets trained so I can go forward with the procedure here and not have to go to Texas.

Is the doctor from theBay Area Dr. Lower? I have seen good surgery pictures from Lowen, but for BA not BL. Thank for your post! What did you decide to do?! What was the price quoted at? Thank you. Our boobs are similar except mine may be a little Safire. So far I have had my first consult with Dr. Lauren Greenberg

Yes that's the Dr Lowen. He has a very good repetition. He is easy to talk to and very meticulous. I'm scheduled for surgery next week. This is a new procedure for him so my fee $1150 is less than it would normally be.

Well, I've scheduled it and will go for a perconsult next week. I'm still a little nervous but am hopeful that it will turn out well.

I am in Santa Cruz and waiting to hear what you think. I called his office and think the surgery is very long- 7 hours? Let me know what you decide. I have similar shape and am dying to get them lifted!

Hi! I just came across your profile. I had a similar reduction on August 8th, called the Passot technique, and I'm so happy i was able to find a PS that does this type of reduction. I had 5 consults and all of them said if you are going to have issues healing, it's a 50/50 chance it would be in the T junction for the more common anchor technique. So, by eliminating that vertical scar, you have one less thing to worry about. If you are still nervous and don't have questions, check out my consult and pre-op questions and maybe those can help you with what your are nervous about, so you know what to ask. I'm sure you will do great! Good luck and wishing you a painless and speedy recovery! Thank you for sharing your story. :)
