How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Intro with Pictures, 57 y/o post lung transplant, needing breast lift/reduction and more later
Firstly, I'm looking to take weight off my breasts. I've weighed as much as 267 lbs. on prednisone, and as low as 142 lbs. with exercise as an adult just 5 years ago. Currently 185 lbs, 5' 5". Breasts are heavy and caused shoulder digs and 2ry infections in folds. The breast weight also makes my shoulders very tired and causes back and neck strain. Additionally, post lung transplant scars have deformed my breasts, and weight pulls on the scars causing pain. Many areas are numb. There is concern for loss of nipples since I numbness may indicate lesser blood supply. I contacted Dr. Horndeski. His method secures the breast to the underlying pectoral muscle. It's done in a hospital and requires double the time, but with my illness, the reduction from a DD to a C, coupled with moving support of the breast to the pectoral wall and cleaning up the surgical site may be worth it. Dr. Horndeski seems like a pleasant doctor, and I'm sure that as I get closer to the procedure date, I will have questions he will be willing to answer. For now, my lung transplant surgical records are being prepared for his review so he knows what I have undergone and he can determine his approach.
