I was a 32DD who after two pregnancies REALLY wanted a breast lift. It's not a life threatening kind of thing, but it was something that I really wanted for myself. I started researching the procedure 3 years ago. I started talking to local p-doc's in my area and when I learned about getting a breast lift I was EXTREMELY disheartened. Here I thought I could get "my girls" back to the way were, but didn't realize what I was going to have to give up in return. They told me I would not only have an ugly vertical anchor scar, but that I was also going to need implants otherwise they said it wouldn't look right. Implants for a breast lift? I started crying on the way home. I didn't think I was going to have to make such tradeoffs. I gave up for awhile, but then I started researching the internet and calling doctors in other cities (LA and Miami) that I thought would have the "best" p-doc's in the country. To my disappointment, after multiple consultations with different doctors they were bascially telling me the same thing. Then I found this site last year and found Dr. Horndeski. Essentially the Ultimate Breast Lift - Horndeski Method was the answer to my prayers. I thought it might be too good to be true. I asked Dr. Horndeski, if this is so great why isn't every p-doc doing this. He did say he was training new doctors in his technique and that reassured me some. However, Jana (who is a sweetheart by the way) put me in touch with previous patients. After talking to them, reading all the reviews on this site, and having my consultation with Dr. Horndeski I was in!!!! Does Dr. Horndeski talk fast and like an engineer, yes. However, I wasn't looking for a friend, I was looking for results. I had my surgery in February and almost 6 months later I have the boobs I dreamed about (and used to have) and you can barely see the scars like I hoped. There is still some pleating around my areolas, but Dr. Horndeski said it should resolve itself over time. I realize that I paid Dr. Horndeski, but I still feel sooo grateful to him. I am DEFINITELY not the type to leave reviews (almost did on Tripadvisor once) but I was so thrilled with the results that I felt I had to share. I wish there was a doctor in my area that could have performed the Ultimate Breast Lift because travelling for surgery is not ideal and I have friends who want the procedure, but can't travel because of family or their job. That said, the Staybridge suites were very nice and like I said - the effort was worth it because I got results!!!! Thank you Dr. Horndeski.

U look great! I'm considering Dr.Horndeski so thank u for posting this review! Any advice or tips u have for a smooth recovery??? Thanks : )

Definitely. I think my tip is to follow his post surgery instructions. I expressed concerns about some of the results and in speaking with him about it he stressed that once surgery is done, good results come from following his guidelines. He said he can't control what people do once they leave surgery and that you need to follow the recovery guidelines or risk not getting an optimal result.

Thanks for responding! I've heard multiple stress how important it is to follow his post-op instructions, I guess I'm just nervous about messing something up! But I'm glad your recovery went well : ) How long after surgery before u felt "normal" again? I'm a bit concerned with a long recovery...

It appears one breast is larger than the other, are you happy with that?

Absolutely the results I wanted!!! I waited for years as I said. I thought that it seemed like a toss up on his reviews at first too. Then my husband (he is an accountant) took a look at his reviews and he figured out that they were like 90% positive.

Thank you for sharing what I was thinking, but didn't feel comfortable saying. I feel great :):):)

Your welcome : ) I just hate when people say things like that without thinking about how it may affect someone else..

What I was worried about was the puckering ... I've looked at other sites and read other reviews on other things not just breast surgeries I would say I found more negative than positive . But I'm happy yours is a positive one

I think she has the right to voice her opinion , you and others may not like it but she has the right . Opinions are something everyone has you can just ignore what you don't like

I agree, everyone has the right to their own opinion & it's easy to ignore people. However, voice your opinion on your own review. There's a time & place for certain things & you need to be tactful when addressing others' bodies.

Bellesoma 3 months post op and very happy!

I had my surgery 3 months ago and wanted to wait to write a review until I felt comfortable with my thoughts.  I can honestly say I am really thrilled with my results. I am not usually a review writer, but the site was so helpful to me to learn about Dr. Horndeski and Bellesoma that I felt compelled to give back.  He is not the warm and fuzzy type, but I was looking for results and not a friend.  I can say he is a genius and have happily recommended him to my friends who are considering the procedure.

Hi! thank you for sharing your experience. Your review has put me more at ease! Can you please upload an updated photo of the horizontal suture and how they've healed? I'm really considering the procedure but am concerned with the horizontal suture on the bottom of the breast or "boxiness" that people speak of.
