After I made the decision to go through with a breast reduction/lift…my main goal was to find a pair of boobs that looked similar to mine (saggy, loose skin, dinner plate areolas lol) and see if those end results were similar to what I wanted. I knew I wanted Lifted; Full breast and smaller areolas with no implants. I stumbled upon RealSelf and found what I was looking for with the Horndeski: Ultimate Breast Lift!
It was REALLY refreshing to find a different approach to the breast lift! It STILL amazes me that the Horndeski Method is not more popular than it is! This technique truly is LIFE CHANGING. ITS EVERYTHING I wanted. And his results for the most part are great! The procedure is pricey now than previous years, but from looking at the earlier before/after photos compared to newer photos, he is getting better at his own technique!
The fact that his technique isn’t the “Standard” breast lift procedure may cause some people to question his method. I too had my reservations. I know they say there is a 20 year lag between the time an invention is made and when it is commercialized because change is hard to sell! As a Registered Nurse, in relation to the medical field, I know that there are doctors who have done things one way for a long time and have no interest to change or step out of their Comfort Zone to learn a new technique. Which is a reflection of how a new technique may take time to gain popularity. They may tell you that the vertical scar is the only way to lift your breast and you need implants to achieve the upper fullness but now…that is NOT true!
The hospital staff was AMAZING! I felt completely comfortable and well taken care of. I could definitely say it was one of the BEST hospital experiences I have ever had! Elisa and Dr. Horndeski were really nice I was extremely comfortable with them. Overall a great experience!

1 Week Post Op

FINALLY! Had this procedure done after stalking this site, researching multiple MDs, reading ALL of the reviews and seeing TOO many boobs lol.
-Drains out after 4 days. THEY HURT but you will live.
-Hospital and staff are AMAZING...you will be treated well, but its 1 hour away from Horndeski's Office
-Only thing I would change is stay at a nice hotel like -->Staybridge Suites. You'll be paying more but its one less thing you have to worry about. I tried to save some money and stay at a cheap Motel (America's Inn)...Had to wait 1 hour to check in +extra problems, was just a cheap sketch area and people. I WISH I would have just paid the extra 200-300 dollars to have less stress and a more comfortable environment.
-Before drains out started to regret doing it. It hurt to move, get up. Had my parents help me do everything! I HATE pain...so pain medications were around the clock for me...every 4 hours. Laxatives are great! PLEASE have prescriptions filled and ready to go before surgery.
-KEEP Moving! its been 1 week and I feel like I'm back to myself somewhat. I actually drove to the mall and did some shopping =)

You look great?? I have a question. Why is the hotel an hour away?? Are there not any hotels near his facility?? Thanks in advance!
March 1, 2016
The hotel is near his office. It's just the Hospital where u do the procedure is an hour away. Once you leave there...you probably won't have to go back.

Hey I had a breast lift with implants I'm 6 days post op and I think I have a infection ..one is healing good and my nipple is swollen very bad ,is this normal that my gauze have yellowish orange liquid on the gauze ??
August 20, 2019
No! You should definitely let the doctor know this. It's not normal. Do you have any neosporin ointment? And you will need antibiotics. I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this. :-(....how did things go?
March 17, 2021
Hi there! I noticed your tip about the towels, how long did you do this and how soon after surgery? Are you still loving your results?
