I have posted how horrible my breast surgery...
$10,000
I have posted how horrible my breast surgery turned out. Now here are pictures. Hopefully you will see why NOT to go to Dr. Horndeski for surgery. My experience was horrible. He took me from a slight hang, size D cup to a very ugly size B cup. I now have square tiny breast, many scars, nipples that do not match, and will have to have reconstruction to repair them. He talked me out of implants, said I would be the same size, that is a lie. He said this surgery was scarless, that is a lie. He promised how beautiful my breast would be, that is a lie. His response to me crying sitting in his office? " I just can't please you"! I look nothing like the pictures he showed me BEFORE my surgery! I look nothing like what I was promised. I have wanted to have this for over 30 years, now I wish I could undo it all. I now have Frankenstein breast. This is my opinion of my procedure, FAILURE.

Update
It has been almost 4 months now. I still look about the same except the antibiotics have finally cleared up all the infections. Thanks to my medical doctor. I only have 3 stitches still trying to work their way out of my skin. I am still a size B cup in my bras. I still have square, flat breast, with uneven, non matching nipples. I still have lots of scaring around the nipples and the bottom of the breast. My breast are starting to droop even more, and the gathers on the sides of my square breasts have not changed. I will add some new photos later this week. I still look really, really
bad. Still very, very unhappy.
bad. Still very, very unhappy.

I would give anything to have 10,000 to have my breast done... Unfortunately look at what you are going tru. Am very sorry for you but hang in there... am sure it can be fix.

What?! This is scarless? This doc just promising a mirage. I see scars and flat square shaped breasts. And why all those stretchmarks? So sorry u had such a bad outcome and recovery. And wasted time nd money.
January 7, 2014
I had stretch marks, I am not concerned with them, just the flat, square, gathered breast with nipples that do not match.

I'm just curious... Out of all his results and all of his reviews, yours is the most negative! I'm truly sorry you're going through what you are going through. Do you think in a certain amount of time it will heal and look better?
I will say any surgery is scary and I want a reduction as well as a full body tuck due to weight loss but I really want to do all my research.
He just has sooooo many good results and so many good reviews other than your one. I'm going to see him to at least see more pics and see about him.
I hope your results get better...

I've seen reviews / results from a couple others that were rectangle shaped and not happy at all with their outcome with this Dr.. Not everyone does a Dr. review, but you can search his name on here, and google it and find the lawsuits he has had filed against him, like i did. Of course the Dr. is only going to allow "good" results (pics/reviews) on his site, as most dr. i imagine.
January 23, 2014
Sorry about your results. I was not entirely happy about my results either until after I got a revision. I would let them do a revision and demand they put some implants for free. This bad publicity has to be costing them a lot of money! Maybe he did not assess correctly how much "good" tissue he had to work with in your case.
January 30, 2014
Thanks, but I don't think he can correct his mess up. I need someone more skilled. Will keep you posted. Thanks for your concern.

Dr Andy hand in Waco tx. That's where going and he doesn't have one bad review anywhere ! I've been researching him for 6 months now
I hope you get the results you want
March 13, 2015
Obviously you stand incorrectly. He has several on this site and numerous on other sites besides RealSelf. Vitals. Healthgrades. How about the women who are afraid to post and just went back to their home town to suffer?

Update on my horrible breast surgery
It has been over four months. I have finally had the last (hopefully) stitch work it's way out. Just look at my pictures. My breast still look horrible. Time has not helped. I don't think time will ever help. Only another surgery possible will help. Dr. Horndeski totally messed my breast up, and then his help from his office, posts total lies on me on this site. Now how professional is that? If you have eyes you can see how damaged I am by his surgery.

RitaKolb I am so sorry you are going this. I am not thrilled with my results either. I am not sure if I am going to do a revision with Dr. H. I didn't have the money to go else where so I feel stuck! I have to say your most recent pics REALLY do look better. I know that for yourself going through this and feeling chopped up, that its hard for you to see the change. But I really do see an improvement. I think that you will get really great results from where you are now with a better surgery! For now it looks like the correct scar care would hope to make a great difference. I really hope it works out for you. I do see a small light a the tunnel for myself after 1yr & 7 months! (still not what we paid for ,right!)...anyway I really pray it all works out. keep your head up (I know it's hard). God Bless

wouldn't be the first one. Upon a brief Google search, I came across a number of lawsuits... I posted the link somewhere in these comments.

Oh Rita, I am extremely upset to hear and see what you're going through. This is not a good publicity for him, and he should care. I have had a very good impression about him and I was in a process of saving money to fix my breast. I'm horrified now. Doctors should understand that we pay money to look good not to make them rich. I will pray for you to find a way to fix it. Please don't despair. I am sure God will help you. Thank you for sharing with us . Stay positive, I will pray for you.
February 10, 2014
Thank you so much for those kind words. I will overcome this mess up. It will take a year or so and probably 15,000 dollars more to correct my breasts. I will keep everyone posted.

@cocktails I'm reporting you. You've been warned months ago to keep your negative comments to yourself by realself. You doing it again. Im happy with my results so why can't you just drop it before you get all our pages deleted. After 3 Months, you still thinkin of me? My results are Priceless!! Dr Horndeski did a fabulous job. I am so grateful I went to himself
June 2, 2014
@PrettyPleased I know Right. I don't understand why women are so mean and miserable I don't see men engaging in this sort of behavior on Realself. It's disgusting!! This is clearly cyber bullying. But Thank You... In fact the reason I went to Dr. Horndeski was because of your post. So Thank You!!! You've made me a better woman without even knowing it..

Sorry to hear about your results. I was going to go to him, but after seeing what he did to you and a couple of others here on realself, there is no way I'm going to him.
February 10, 2014
I did not post to harm the doctor in any way. I just feel that maybe he should go back to doing hand surgeries, instead of women's breast. I am doing better, have seen two other plastic surgeons and I feel pretty confident that one of them can fix this mess up, that I now have for breasts. Thank you for your concern and care. Good luck finding a doctor that can do breast the right way, I know they are out there. Ask your medical doctor for a referral. They know who is good and who isn't. Thanks again.

Hi Rita, I was wondering if you cared to share you age, weight, height, etc? Not sure why you would go for perfect breast when you don't appear to have the best skin elasticity. I'm just saying. I think your results look great for just having the surgery a month of so ago. Scars are expected when this kind of surgery. No way around it.. So give it time. To wait 30 years for a breast lift seems like forever. I'm sure there's something you like about them after waiting 30 years. Can you imagined what your breast would look like with any other surgeon using the traditional technique? A Butcher shop.
I just had mine done with Dr. Horndeski and I couldn't be happier. They're high, perky, even, round. Etc. I feel great. I love them already.
February 12, 2014
I am 59. 5'9. 180 lbs. why would I not go for perfect breasts? Is there an age, height, weight limit to try and improve yourself? I am very happy that you are happy with your results. If your breast looked like mine 5 months after the operation, not one month as you said, you would be unhappy also. I believe mine would have looked better with another dr performing the surgery the correct way, including implants. Yes, 30 years was a long time to wait and want this procedure, that's why I was so excited when Dr Horndeski promised me how beautiful they would be. He even showed me pictures of how they would look. Haha, not. There is nothing I like about them, did you look at my pictures? See anything you would like if they were on your body? I think not.
February 12, 2014
Do you have photos? I want it done and a tummy tuck... Thank you royblue if you do that would be great
February 12, 2014
Yes I so have photos and my results are amazing. The minute I walked into the office and started crying tears of joy, I know I made the right decision. I have 3 family members who had reduction with other surgeons. Their results look horrible. Yes, I'm sure I'll have scars but the trade off is so worth it to me.. I will begin blogging my experience in a day or so.. Photos coming soon

Royblue There is no need to hurl insults at the woman. You don't know her background, if she has ever exercised, etc. Also, we DON'T see before pics of her breasts, and the pics that she has taken are "unflattering" to most people at that angle. Rita I do think "perfect" breasts are never realistic, i don't know what pics this dr. showed you or how he explained the surgery. I had a small lift and implants redone less than a year ago, and there MUST be incisions, therefore there will be eventual "scars". What you have right now are INCISIONS, NOT scars, they will take a good year to heal over and blend in and I PROMISE you, your incisions will be much lighter than they are now, they may not even be noticeable. THAT is probably this dr. definition of "scarless" (without the traditional vertical incision of course). Getting an implant once your incisions are well healed may be an option to give you fullness and upper pole fullness, but i would definitely wait a year before making any decisions.
February 12, 2014
You are really downing me over putting what happened to me on this site. Do you work for this doctor or something? This is my experience, not yours. How dare you write that I have too much fat, who are you to judge? No one promised me perfect, but he, Dr. Horndeski did promise that I would be happy with my results. I am not happy with my results. I never expected Perfect, I doubt that yours are perfect, or your body is perfect. I do however have the right to expect what I was promised. I did not receive what I paid for. If you do not like what I have had or will say regarding this doctor, don't go on my site. Easy. And you can take your comments regarding about me and stuff them. I am happy with myself, except for my breasts. Which should be the only thing anyone comments about on my site.

Dr Horndeski said his car was broken into and someone stole the camera with my before pictures. How convenient. So not only did he do a messed up surgery on my breasts, now my pictures are out in the public, with my name on them. If he really lost his camera, which I doubt.
February 12, 2014
Royblue- exercize or not, that has nothing to do with her results. But to be honest, I think Rita you are over reacting. They are not perfect, but with time the insicions will look better and you can have the dogears trimmed. Plastic surgery more often than not is a journey, not a destination, at least that has been my experience with all the procedures I've had. He is a doctor, not God and there is only so much control they have about the healing process. Couple that with the "perfectionistic" personalities some of us have, and then there is ensuing dissatisfaction. I for myself, am satisfied now, but thankfully have my before photos to remind me that my breasts already didn't have perfectly rounded areolas, had stretchmarks, etc., which I look at when I start to nitpick at defects in the mirror. I hate the slight circular scar around my areola and it is in those moments that I have to remind my self ho I would feel with the vertical scar... I would be totally obsessed with it. Yet there are some people that are perfectly fine with it. But in any case, like others mentioned, Rita it is better for you to do an implant if you want more upper pole fulness like a year after the scars have healed. Look around for pictures of open incisions from women that got the lift + implants simultaneously, and THOSE are horrific. So this may be a blessing in disguise. Stay positive...

You're right.. You posted the best message on this thread this far.. I totally agree..

@royblue you are jst revealing ur agenda. But I don't think u are going t succeed in harrassing her off her own review.

I never said perfect in any comment I made. I did not expect perfection, but I did not expect ugly either. I do plan to wait a year before anything will be done to correct this mess. I just wanted firm, full breast. I was told that I would have firm, full breast. I do not. The incisions, ie. scars will fade somewhat with time, I agree, but the flat, square, puckered, mis matched nipples will not just magically become right. Sorry, it will never happen that way, unless I go through yet another surgery to repair his mistake.

Rita you don't have to constantly defend your experience to someone who seems to just be trolling the site. There are some that have good and some that have bad experiences with all surgeons, dr, etc. You are entitled to share your experience as you have. Nobody has to like it, but the should respect it. Please try not to pay this person any more attention.
