UPDATED FROM ebonyshine
1 year post

Botched beyond repair. Pissed. Can’t look at myself in the mirror.

Hate my breasts. Mad at myself for not doing my due diligence. Don’t do this. Research Horndeski method and you’ll see for yourself.

How are you now? I do hope you are ok and that things turned out well. Your initial review / photos looked great. As I am considering a breast lift, I am looking for the things to watch out for....but this makes me think just forget it.

The scarring is not only fold. The scar is on my breasts and long and visible and peeps out of every bra. It’s horrible. It goes right up the cleavage. So there is a vertical scar.

I’m so sorry you feel this way! I know you said it was botched but I hope something can be done in the future that will make things better. Hugs

What happened that made them botched? Was it from the hematoma sx? I hope something can be done to fix this. Good luck and thanks for the update. ❣️

No...not from Hematoma. That resolved nicely.

You shouldn’t take one experience and say forget it? You don’t even know what happened to cause such post. I would continue to do your research. I am almost 14 mpo BL/BA w/full anchor incision and love my results. You can read my profile anytime & my 1 yr overview was 7/24/18.

@Rbelly yes do your research. This technique promises no vertical scar which is misleading. You end up having a huge scar visible that’s not in the fold and goes up the cleavage. My breasts ended up looking flat and Needed implants and now scar revision. Google Horndeski lawsuits and see https://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/dr-horndeski-the-bellesoma-method-the-horndeski-method-the-bellesoma-method-the-horndeski-method-the-ultimate-breast-lift-dr-horndeski-c964417.html

Thank you ladies, this community is awesome. I saw the 19 day post op photo and thought yours looked AMAZING and it’s a lift not implants, this was exactly what I wanted. I’m certainly not doing my breasts now, seeing how great yours started out - then hearing how it begins to decline...I took your advice and checked many women have similar stories. I just had a TT a month ago and the recovery / results are ok. I will no longer even consider doing my breast. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry you have to go through this, I’m also grateful you’re willing to share and help others...really honorable to think of others during a painful time. Praying there is a solution found to fix your breast and compensation for your pain and suffering. You deserve peace of mind at this point.

I wish I felt comfortable enough to share pics. Maybe one day. It took me awhile to share but i feel I need to share to help prevent someone else from making the same mistake. So many similar stories. I too did TT and I’m extremely happy with my results. The recovery from TT is a long one. Hope your doing well. You won’t get a full appreciation for results yet.

Things are healing

ebonyshineMay 24, 2017
Swelling is going down and I'm loving the shape that my breasts are taking on. I did develop a hematoma in my left breast and had to undergo surgery again. This occurred about 7 days post op. Dr Kara was amazing and took me in right away. Small set back but on on the road to recovery once again. Using silicone strips on my scar and kelocote silicone scar gel. just waiting for my breast to drop some more and take on it's new shape.

Things I love right now is the upper fullness and size.

Was nervous about my areola being slightly different size between left and right but now that the steri strips are off I think it looks great.

My biggest fear right now is the scar under my breast. But I know from research that's it's way too soon to tell how things will settle and heal. So I wait patiently and hope that my breast drop enough to cover the scar. Really hoping for enough of a drop that the scar is hidden.

I'm considering implants or fat transfer. Gonna talk to Dr Kara and his team to get their thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear about the hematoma and additional surgical intervention, BUT YOU LOOK AMAZING! They look as perfect as implants now! Thank you for journaling your experience and posting pics. I try to read as many reviews of this technique as I can find because I like the idea of not having that vertical scar too. You are right, when the swelling goes down and the incision has had time to heal the horizontal incisions are very challenging to see. The vertical incision is much more visible, comparatively. Very excited to see your healing experience and see your final results! Congrats! You are looking FAB!

You are looking amazing! A little more healing, tape off and a bit more time to adjust to the change and you will be loving them! You look incredible!
