Dr. Gary Horndeski talks with NPR about the Bellesoma Method

NPR interviewed Dr. Gary Horndeski about his revolutionary Bellesoma Method. Horndeski explained how a woman needed a breast reduction will have a better outcome with his process. Horndeski states, “One of great advantages of this technique is that there is no vertical scar and the result is now permanent in the sense that the weight is now transferred to underlying muscle so instead of the skin holding up the breast, the muscle holds up the breast.” This helps in two ways: 1) it reduces additional sagging; and 2) moves the full part higher.

For a large breasted woman who wants relief from back, neck and/or shoulder pain without a severe change in size, Horndeski’s technique is a terrific solution. As noted above, the full part is moved higher and anchored into the chest wall’s muscle. The transfer of the weight relieves the pain. Further, more breast tissue can be kept. Also, implants are not needed for upper breast fullness because the breast is actually moved up into the higher, flattened area where the breasts used to rest before sagging over time.

Another advantage of his procedure is that the ability to breastfeed a baby is not affected. The nipple and areola area are not incised from the underside so sensitivity is retained as well. Dr. Gary Horndeski, Bellesoma method specialist, has used his pre-med school engineering degree to good use by re-thinking how to improve breast reduction and lift surgery. The recovery time is comparable to other types of plastic surgery involving breasts.
