Love your shape again

The reflection you remember — restored

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.

The difference

Engineered for a lift that lasts

A fundamentally different approach to the breast lift — designed to protect your tissue, your shape, and your long-term result.

No vertical scar

Incisions sit around the areola and in the breast crease — with no anchor scar running down the front of the breast.

No implants required

Upper-pole fullness is created from your own breast tissue — which also means no implant replacement surgery later.

Your own tissue

The breast is rebuilt with the tissue you already have, so results tend to look and feel genuinely natural.

Internal suspension

An internal support holds the breast high on the chest wall — rather than relying on skin that stretches over time.

Relief from breast weight

Weight is transferred to the chest muscle — and many patients report immediate relief of back, neck and shoulder pain.

Built to last

Because support comes from within, the Bellesoma Method is engineered for a high, full result that holds. Results vary.

The procedure

How the Bellesoma Method Works

Five stages, from a typical sagging breast to a lifted, full result with no vertical scar.

Ptosis

A typical patient with sagging breasts — a conical shape with nipples and areolas pointing downward.

Rebuild

Using your own breast tissue, new mounds are created and positioned high on the chest wall.

Suspend

The mounds are secured to the chest muscle, transferring the weight away from the skin envelope.

Close

Final sutures are placed around the areola and inferior breast, leaving no ugly vertical scars.

Result

Results are visible immediately. Swelling resolves and incision lines fade over time.

What Breast Lift Patients Say

“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 was an engineer for many years, so the engineering approach really resonated with me”
“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.”
