Bellesoma Method: Very Reasonable Price, Caring Staff. Worth It! I Can Wear a Bikini Again :-) - Sugar Land, TX

Hi there. I am not home at the moment, so I uploaded an "after" picture that I just happened to take of myself this morning on my iPhone! (I will add "before" pictures and clearer/larger "after" pictures in the upcoming days). Dr. Horndeski makes the surgery virtually scarless because he weaves the underlying breast tissue throughout the muscles underneath your skin (the muscles that are kind of up towards your shoulders). This way, it is your own muscles that support your breasts, you don't rely on the tender skin on the outside to hold them up. Therefore, I believe my breasts will remain more supported this way in the long-term than they would have been had I undergone a traditional reduction. Most traditional reductions leave large "anchor" scars and still leave your skin as basically the only thing supporting your breast tissue. Most of Dr. Horndeski's patients (depending how much are you reducing), have a slight "pleating" of the skin on their breasts post-surgery, but I was told that they should fade in 6 months. Mine are seriously so slight that I don't mind it at all. WAY better than having those awful "anchor" scars! FYI: My areolas were a little larger than normal before the surgery, and Dr. Horndeski made them slightly smaller so they would look better, so he can do that for patients too :-) My previous reduction was a "liposelection" (basically liposuction) surgery, so they simply removed some fatty tissue, but did not remove any excess skin. That's why I was left even more saggy! That doctor told me that since I was so young, that my skin (being mostly made of water) would shrink up to 30%, but that never happened. With Dr. Horndeski's scarless reduction, he lifted them so well that I didn't need an implant, although it slightly looks like I do have the implants! (Amazing!!) He said a lot of patients think they need implants, when really they only need a slight lift. He was so right about that :-). Thank you for your question, I will definitely be adding more pictures as soon as I get my "before" pictures from Dr. Horndeski's office :-) He is definitely worth going to and I have ZERO regrets. I'm enjoying summer in my bikini! Take care!

I didn't see your pic before, they look unbelievable!!! Your natural breast volume is perfect! I wish I'd had enough volume not to need an implant but I really needed the implant and I have the dreaded anchor scar, which doesn't bother me too much, it's the price I pay for beautiful perky boobs I guess x Your boobs are perfect! Keep enjoying that bikini

Why thank you!! I love the "new" me and the fact that I've been in a bikini for much of this summer! Haha! Your anchor scar will fade over time and I'm really glad it doesn't bother you! I just couldn't do that surgery because I scar VERY easily. I also get keloid scarring easily. Glad to hear you are happy with your results as well. There are so many talented surgeons out there and it sounds like we went to good ones! I uploaded my pre-operative picture and additional follow-up pictures if you want to see how the surgery looks after 2.5 months. Sorry for the delayed reply, I was retrieving my pre-op pictures :-)

Thank you! I am very very pleased with the results. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was getting ahold of my pre-surgery pics :-). I uploaded my pre-surgery picture, as well as new pictures if you are interested in seeing how post-surgery recovery looks :)

Just saw them. I am totally amazed by the transformation. I'm surprised that he was able to do the mini version of the surgery because of the droop you had prior. I'm about were you were before surgery so this gives me a lot of hope. Can you tell me how much he reduced your areolas? Thanks for posting!

Thank you! I agree, I am just amazed at Dr. Horndeski's work as well! I don't know if you live anywhere near his practice in Sugar Land, Tx, but I flew there from California because he invented this nearly scarless procedure. It was worth the flight out there for sure! Dr. Horndeski is amazing isn't he??!! Plastic surgery is such a mind-boggling concept to me, it can completely transform you! I'm really glad to hear this gives you hope as well. ...Pre-surgery, my areolas were quite larger than what is "normal". I think I recall him saying they were 9 cm (3.5 inches across) and the average was 5 cm. I don't know my areola measurements now, but I do know that he reduced them a bit to make them more proportional to my new breast size. With the mini-lift procedure I had done, no breast tissue is actually removed (except the areola part for me), so you are not actually losing any breast volume. You just appear (very) slightly smaller because they are lifted. Although, if you want to become smaller, I'm sure they can do that as well. Plastic surgeons can do just about anything I think! :-)

I'm not in Texas but I've been considering having this same surgery. There have been a lot of women who have had good results with Dr. H. I've always wondered why the same surgery it isn't done by other plastic surgeons. I think it's amazing that you escaped the incisions below the breast and that it was all done through the areola. Are you disappointed with the puckering around the incisions? I assume this will change a bit with time. Overall I think your transformation is incredible. I am so happy for you.

Dr. Horndeski invented this type of procedure not too long ago, but he is already an expert at it :-) I think he too wonders why other surgeons have not thought of practicing this procedure as well! At first, I was nervous because this is a newer procedure, but after seeing all of his patients' results and reviews, I decided to proceed with my decision and I am glad I did. I recovered sooo well. I was never in any pain really, just general soreness and nausea from the pain meds post-surgery (I am VERY sensitive to any medicines). ...They told me the puckering would diminish after 6 months and that I could go back in to have a revision surgery if I did not like my results after 6 months, but I definitely won't be needing that since I can already see the puckering has greatly decreased. I don't mind that part at all since it is hardly visible :-) Anything is better than how I looked before, I liked nothing about those old boobies, lol!

I can't say I blame you for wanting to have them done. They look great so far. Please continue to post photos. I'd love to see the difference after you have had more time to heal.

I will certainly do that! I want to try to let everyone stay as informed as they can since plastic surgery is a major life (and sometimes financial) decision :-). It's nice to have a forum like this where everyday patients can discuss relevant topics. Thanks again, I will continue to update my progress :)

Thank you, I'm glad I could share my experience with all of you lovely ladies so that you can decide if this surgery is right for you as well. Dr. Horndeski was a great pick and I am glad my mother found him. ....No, I have not attemped the rice test, I had actually never heard of that until now! I'm learning new things daily :) ...I was a small D cup before, and even though the Dr. Horndeski did not remove any breast tissue during the procedure, I feel slight smaller because my breasts were lifted up. I am very pleased with this because now I am a perfect size :) You can check out my pre-surgery and new follow-up pictures if you want. Thank you very much for the well-wishes!

When you talk about the cc volume it really doesn't translate with this procedure. Before my first implants I was a small B and had 375 and 400 ccs and over time I was a DD but he took those and put in 180 cc and I can still wear the same bra because he uses your own "saggy" breast tissue and that fills up all that empty volume so sizers just don't work. It's all about you. It's amazing how much is in there under sagging breasts and on the side where all the stuff normally hangs out under the armpit and out the side of the bra.

I understand! Dr H said I looked slimmer just because it was all moved and lifted up and I agree!

Yes! Dr. Horndeski is a master in taking what you already do have and making it better!

So funny how we have similiar experiences. Lifted breasts just make your waist appear slimmer! They also feel lighter since he weaves that underlying tissue underneath your own muscles (as you already personally know) so it feels like there is less of a weight sitting on your chest! So glad to not feel suffocated all the time now!

Thank you! I am very grateful for my mom locating Dr. Horndeski as well! I was a small D size cup before surgery, and not I feel like a large C cup possibly? The doctor did not remove any breast tissue, but since they are not lifted and my areolas are smaller, I feel "lighter". Haha. I really love it! I had the surgery just 2.5 months ago and I feel great. I posted some more updated pictures, as well as my pre-operation pictures if you want to check them out! Thank you for wishing me well, I appreciate it very much! Sorry for the delayed reply, I was retrieving my pre-operative pictures :-)

Thank you :-) I look and FEEL like an entirely new (and improved) version of myself! It's a nice feeling too since I live in CA and it is summer time. I wish I could be in a bikini forever now!! So glad I got this done while I'm still in my 20s, so I could know what it's like to wear a string bikini for once!

Oh I will be posting photos for sure! I need to take some to update everybody! :)
