Has it already been 4 years?!
I'm back up at a reasonable weight now, thanks to medication stopping my bleeding colon. I'm at about 120 lbs (5' 7.5" tall) so my results look really, really good, and I have breasts again! You can still see the stitch-line of the mesh through a little, but it's not as bad as when I was skinnier.
Another wonderful thing that happened this year, (a few months ago, actually,) is that I am no longer self-conscious about showing my scars. So I can wear lower-cut bikinis and workout clothes without worrying about that. So liberating!
You may notice some surgical tape in the vid. That's because I had a large cyst in my left breast. It was something called a galactocele, which means a milk cyst. Only the 'milk' was hard, so they couldn't just drain it, which is the most usual way of treating it. So I just had that surgically removed two weeks ago, and they used my old scar to go in there. It's still swollen and misshapen, so it's hard to know how that'll turn out.
I can't think of anything else to say right now, but as usual, I'm happy to answer questions. I'm still very pleased overall, and all of my complaints are nitpicky. I'm actually really grateful I went to Dr. Horndeski and got the results I got. Even the doctors and nurses here in Sweden who examined and operated on me me for my recent surgery said that my doctor did a great job and that my breasts looked fantastic. And they never even saw the 'before' pics!
Sorry, I'm actually 3.5 years post-op, not 4.5!

Provider Review
I found Dr. Horndeski here on this website and, despite some misgivings because of negative reviews and what looked like fake reviews, I gave them a call. Talking to the doctor allayed all my fears and I scheduled a date right away. I'm going to be blunt. This doctor is offering procedures no one else offers. The ultimate breast lift is proprietary and he hasn't taught it to anyone else. His tummy tuck procedure is also unique, as far as my research goes. While I was unconcerned about whether I'd have a vertical scar, the fact that this procedure does without will reassure many patients. For me, retention of nipple sensitivity and a FIRM result with upper pole fullness WITHOUT an implant were irresistible. The internal bra, however, is FANTASTIC. So far, my shape isn't settled yet, so they look fake, but even as they are, I'm extremely pleased with my result. As far as the TT goes, I'm happy with that too, but I can't stand up straight yet so it's not a fair test. I took off a couple of stars for wait times because we had to wait 20 minutes our first appointment day, and because we always have to wait, even when I was crying and in pain post-op. Five minutes feels like an hour in a waiting room when you're in pain, half delerious, and can barely breathe. I took off one star for aftercare because as on out of state patient, I won't be able to have follow-up visits that more local patients will get as part of the price. Finally, I took off one star for bedside manner just so that people will read my warning. Dr. H is an engineer. He is very friendly, but he talks like an engineer. He is focused, very sharp, (smart, not mean,) and very technical. I had no particular opinion about how my breasts should look, other than 'good', but if you do, bring pictures. He is not that great with sympathy, so bring someone who is if you can. I'm thinking specifically of the drain removal now. It was painful for me, and it was nice to hear sympathetic words from DH. My husband and I both have degrees in Computer Science and are very comfortable with engineer types. We found the doctor to be fun and reassuring. But even if you are a little put off at first, the results you can get with him might be worth a second interview. If you like the results pics you see. I'll try to continue to post updated pics as time goes on.
