Discover the patented Bellesoma® Method by Dr. Gary Horndeski, a breast lift Houston TX patients choose to restore a youthful shape using their own natural tissue while minimizing visible scarring.
Pregnancy, weight changes, breastfeeding and time gradually change the breast. Many women tell us they cover up, avoid the mirror, and quietly miss feeling like themselves.
A breast lift — medically known as mastopexy — restores shape and firmness. The Bellesoma Method does it with your own tissue, for a result that looks and feels like you.
Dr. Gary Horndeski developed the Bellesoma Method, so every breast lift Houston TX procedure at our practice is performed by the surgeon who designed the technique. It lifts and reshapes the breast using your own tissue, without implants and without a vertical scar.
Most patients return to light activity within one to two weeks after a breast lift Houston TX procedure, with results refining as swelling settles. Learn more about the Bellesoma Method, compare a Bellesoma breast lift Houston, or read the ASPS breast lift guide.
Incisions sit around the areola and in the breast crease — with no anchor scar running down the front of the breast.
Upper-pole fullness is created from your own breast tissue — which also means no implant replacement surgery later.
The breast is rebuilt with the tissue you already have, so results tend to look and feel genuinely natural.
An internal support holds the breast high on the chest wall — rather than relying on skin that stretches over time.
Weight is transferred to the chest muscle — and many patients report immediate relief of back, neck and shoulder pain.
Because support comes from within, the Bellesoma Method is engineered for a high, full result that holds. Results vary.
Results vary from patient to patient. Dr. Horndeski will review your own photos and goals at your consultation.
Heavy, downward-pointing breasts lifted high and full on the chest wall.
A typical patient with sagging breasts — a conical shape with nipples and areolas pointing downward.
Using your own breast tissue, new mounds are created and positioned high on the chest wall.
The mounds are secured to the chest muscle, transferring the weight away from the skin envelope.
Final sutures are placed around the areola and inferior breast, leaving no ugly vertical scars.
If you’ve considered a breast lift but worried about heavy scarring or needing implants to get a good shape — this is the difference.

Certified in 1994 by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Doctor of Medicine from Case Western Reserve University. Named one of the Top 100 Plastic Surgeons in the nation by RealSelf.
He developed the proprietary Bellesoma Method of “no vertical scar” surgery — reshaping the breast without implants or old techniques that traumatize tissue and leave unsightly scars. An engineer before he was a surgeon, he plans every case with proprietary measurement software before the first incision.
“I felt like I had looked through every RealSelf breast lift review, and then I saw it — breast lift, no vertical scar. That’s when I read about Dr. Horndeski’s Bellesoma Method. Genius! How did no one else think of this?”
“I’ve had large breasts my entire life and although I have always wanted a lift and small reduction I never went forward with it because I was concerned about the anchor scars and eventual sagging. Then I found Dr. Horndeski on RealSelf and I am extremely glad I did. I was an engineer for many years, so the engineering approach to performing a breast lift with minimal scarring and no sagging over time really resonated with me.
He explained how he uses the lower portion of the breast tissue to support the breast — like creating a sling that connects at nine points to the pectoral muscle for maximum lift and a really great shape. One thing I noticed right away was relief from the back and shoulder pain that has plagued me all my life. I’m nearly five weeks post-op and thrilled with the results.”
“I remember when I first searched how a traditional breast lift was done, and I saw that first anchor scar and immediately wrote it off. After looking at so many before and afters of traditional lifts, I just wasn’t impressed — the breasts may have been higher, but they still didn’t appear youthful. Because I’m super cautious, I seriously thought about this for years before I finally called his office.
They make it so easy to be a fly-in patient, and communication before, during and after has been incredible. I’m just shy of three weeks now and the results are amazing. He explained the long-term difference between putting the weight on skin versus his method of putting it on muscle, and I’m so thrilled — I know I have a lift that will last.”
