Bellesoma Breast Explant Surgery Q&A

Would you like to have your implants removed, but concerned with their post-operative appearance?

Unfortunately, breast implants may not last forever. It may be a difficult decision for some, but it may be time to remove undesired implants. Reasons for removal include:

Problems with the implant – capsular contracture, deflation, or another potential complication
Change in lifestyle
Desire to get back to your “natural body”
Excess sagging and/or pain from excessively large implants

Common concerns for breast explant surgery are the post-operative shape, size, projection, and of course visibility of scars. The innovative approach of Bellesoma is a new option to consider and may help alleviate some of these issues.

How is a Bellesoma® Explant surgery different from conventional approaches?

The ability to significantly lift breasts that have sagged without the unsightly vertical scar
Creates projection and upper pole fullness from your existing natural tissue
Transfers the weight of the breast to the chest muscle, providing a long lasting result
Allow the use of fat transfer should additional volume be desired

Actual Before and After Photos:

My experience was like no other! The results were more excellent than I could have imagined or hoped for. I had an explant with a lift and went from a droopy D to a perky C. I have seen the results (lollipop scars) of traditional explants/lifts/reductions and there is NO COMPARISON to the Bellesoma method! I have minimal scarring and all of my sensation is intact. The first thing I noticed was the back, neck and shoulder pains I previously had were drastically reduced after the procedure. My posture and breathing had great improvements. From the preoperative care to the postoperative care the exceptional professionalism coupled with genuine concern for the best recovery possible has been life changing. Dr. Horndeski and his staff were thorough in eduacting and addressing every concern I had along the way as well as being accessible. All in all the Bellesoma procedure is an PHENOMENAL investment! I would highly recommend Dr. Horndeski!

I had breast implant surgery with a lift after two pregnancies 13 years ago. My breast looked great for a few years but eventually, I noticed that I needed another lift and it was also time to repair the capsular contracture of my left breast. I visited 7 doctors in the Houston area and also considered going out of the country since my first surgery was performed in Venezuela. All doctors recommended an explant with a lift, some suggested to change my implants to preserve the fullness of my breast. But at this point, I was ready to say goodbye to breast implants for good. Last December, I got ready for surgery and decided to go with Dr. Horndeski. I was very impressed with his technique and the fact that I didn’t have to remove implants 10 years from now. Dr. Horndesdki addressed all my questions and concerns. The day of surgery, Elisa and Dr. Horndeski performed some measurements and used the scanner of the Bellesoma software. The surgery lasted a little over 4 hours and the anesthesia made me extremely nauseated. They gave me medication via IV and was sent home with a new breast and a pair of drainages. The first night was good, I barely had pain and the medication made me sleepy. My first post-op appointment was the day after surgery. The big revealed. I was swollen and slightly bruised but was happy to see how high and tight my breast looked. For the next few days, I kept taking my prescriptions and kept track of my drainages. They were removed 3 days after surgery and I can say that it was the most painful part of the whole process. Elisa told me to take a deep breath as she pulled one drainage out and then the other one….Ah! Thankfully, it goes away really fast. Elisa pointed at my belly and asked me if I had a bowel movement yet. Even though I was taking laxatives and stool softeners… I have not gone to the bathroom. She told my husband to get me Magnesium Citrate. I can thank her enough for that; I had a bad experience with narcotics in the past and this was very helpful. Overall, I’m happy with the results! My breast sit higher up in my chest and look like I was in my twenties again. In fact, it looks like I lost some weight but in reality it was my implants that made me look bigger than I actually am. Thank you Dr. Horndeski.

Breast Explant

I had an explant, lift and nipple relocation, and fat transfer. The whole process was impressive. The contrast between my previous UIK-based surgeon who originally put my implants in and Dr Horndeski was marked. Everything in Houston was planned and carefully worked out. In the pre-op room, for instance, a computerised model of my breasts and the operation was constructed from measurements taken via sophisticated equipment. I found the nurses are exemplary and ready to answer any questions. Dr Horndeski is a professional and experienced surgeon with a clever and impressive self-devised surgical technique for lifting the breasts. I travelled from the UK and the trip was coordinated by Dr Horndeski’s office who are efficient and friendly. I am very pleased with the results so far (I’m three weeks post-op) and it has boosted my body confidence greatly. My breasts seem to be healing at different rates, which I’m told is not unusual – perhaps something to do with handedness and unequal muscle tone? Post-operatively, my breasts have not really been painful. Instead, the fat transfer from the top of my thigh has been the issue in terms of pain (I had 100 ml taken from on top of the muscle of each thigh). The entry site of the cannula healed quickly, but inevitably there is inflammation and bruising from tissue damage that has to heal, but I am still functioning normally and working. The nurses/overnight carers that Dr Horndeski’s team use to stay with patients at the hotel are exceptional. Lovely, lovely women. I felt so cared for! If I had more money I would have left them extra. I may have to have more fat transferred as I have little breast fat of my own and the transferred fat will not all survive (about 60% Dr Horndeski mentioned). I can feel the support structure (cone) that Dr Horndeski has crafted through my skin already (particularly on the right) and I may require further fat transfer here in the UK. This was unavoidable really.

60 year old with 10 year old implants. One breast was sagging almost to my belly button and the other was only two or so inches higher. I had over filled (450 cc) implants that were almost falling out. Surgery was Friday, March 3, 2017 – I am SUPER PLEASED. Today- 5 days later- the drains were removed. The drains were the most difficult part of recovery. Dr. H explained everything in advance to my satisfaction. My breasts look better now than they did when I was 16. Dr. H and his staff are awesome! Dr. H knows what he is doing and is teaching other doctors his system. I am still very impressed!! Breast explant and lifts that will LAST!! I will review again as my recovery continues. Feel free to ask his staff if you would like to contact me directly. I did not expect perfection, but now feel as if it has been achieved!

I have had 3 sets of breast implants in the past 15 or so years at a cost of over $30,000 and I never achieved what I hoped for: beautiful breasts. After all of that I thought my best chance for a good result would be explant and lift, and I posted that question with some photos here on Realself.com. One of the replies to my question came from Dr. Gary Horndeski, who recommended the Bellesoma breast lift. He said this method of lift would give me volume in the upper pole of the breast and bring them closer together to create nice cleavage. That was exactly what I hoped to achieve but never did with each augmentation and revision! It sounded too good to be true.
Fast forward a few months. I am now one week post op from my surgery with Dr. Horndeski, and the results are everything I hoped for and more. It hasn’t even really sunk in yet that I finally have the beautiful, perky, youthful breasts I’ve wanted for so long. I wish I had known that Dr. Horndeski and his Bellesoma method existed years ago, I never would have gotten my second or third set of implants.
Dr. Horndeski’s staff is awesome. They are very good at helping out of town patients travel to Houston. They are available, knowledgeable, and kind.
I hope that anyone considering implant revision, explant, or breast lift will come across this review and look into the Bellesoma method. If I had learned about it sooner I would have avoided unnecessary procedures and saved myself a lot of money and disappointment.

I thought I would post an update since I continue to heal, and they just look better and better. I’m 5 weeks post op in these pics (surgery Jan 8, 2019 and pics taken Feb 11, 2019). I’m thrilled with my results, and there is no better feeling than finally being happy with my body and comfortable in my skin. I have some puckering at the edges of my incisions that will probably require a little revision, but it gets better every week. I only wish I had done this sooner.

Updated on 12 Jan 2020:
I should start by saying that I’m still thrilled with my breasts overall, and I would get a Bellesoma lift again in a heartbeat. Dr. Horndeski is brilliant and he gave me a more beautiful result than I could have hoped for.
However, there have been some issues with my incisions that are still not resolved. Unfortunately I think I’m going to have to see a different surgeon and have another procedure to get an acceptable outcome. After the initial procedure I was left with large “dog ears,” which is puckered skin at the ends of the incisions. My skin was stretched from many years of large implants, so it’s not surprising that I was left with excess skin after the procedure. I’m sure Dr. Horndeski wanted to make the incisions as short as possible. So I went back six months later, fully expecting the revision to be super easy, but as it healed in the weeks to follow I realized it looked sloppy and incomplete. I’m now one year out from the initial procedure and six months out from the revision, and it hasn’t improved in that time. When I wear a bra the excess skin folds onto itself and low cut tops show the deformity. I’ve consulted with another surgeon to remove the excess skin and hopefully that will fix the problem. I wish I would have gone somewhere else six months ago, but I couldn’t have known. I would still recommend this procedure wholeheartedly. But I would add that you should expect to need a revision in six months after the scar has fully contracted, and if you have the means to do it with a different surgeon you may get a better result.
