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. 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 ussyes, 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 foctir, and I'm sure that as I get closer to the procedure date, I will have questions he will be willing to snswer. For now, my lung transplant surgical records are being prepared for his review so he knows what I have undergone and he xan determine his approach.

You can just type her name in the search bar to look for her. I'm considering Dr.Horndeski as well and would recommend look at all of his reviews on here so you have realistic expectations of what can/could happen

When you are on his page you can sort his reviews in various ways; I would strongly encourage you to read and look at the photos of those that did not get the lift he promised them. He has some definite hits but some absolute misses as well...

I saw the horrible job he did on Angeleyes. As they were, her breasts were pretty, now, after surgery, they have the same scarring as mine that I want to correct! Certainly I will look at the other reviews.

AngelEyes281, thank you for your recommendation. I was disturbed that your breasts, which I thought were quite beautiful before surgery, ended up looking like mine before surgery. I do hope you are able to get them restored to your satisfaction.. I appreciate your recommendation to do adequate research, as we all should.
