The Bellesoma Method - Need 4th Reconstructive Surgery After Bellesoma Method / Horndeski Method.

This "doctor", Dr. Gary Horndeski, changes the name of his procedure periodically so that he can hide his negative reviews. It has been called "The Horndeski Method", the "Ultimate Breast Lift" and now "The Bellesoma Method". Dr. Horndeski butchered me!I am needing my 4th reconstructive surgery to correct the botched Ultimate Breast Lift garbage he touts as his proprietary method. RUN! My nipples are too high, my horizontal scars cut across my brea$ts, they are pointed, weird angled, dog-eared and flat!

He did one revision in office WITHOUT anesthesia that sent me into shock, I had another revision by a reputable surgeon that helped a lot but didn't fix it all the way so I'm having to have a crease reconstruction, surgical mesh placed during my 4th procedure to see if we can stop these stargazer nipples from popping out of every bra and top I have. Dr. Horndeski ruined my life. Dr. Gary Horndeski does not care about you as a patient at all.

I am going to have to spend $40k to over $60k in total to fix what he charged me $13k for! Even the BEST brea$t lift surgeons in USA do not charge as much as Dr. Horndeski. Do yourself a favor and REALLY INVESTIGATE him before considering. Review sites like Realself.com take down every negative review I've written, including those of 12 more ladies - and these are just the ones I'm aware of. Why? Because Dr. Horndeski pays for adverting through them and they do everything they can to bury his negative press.

Dr. Horndeski has renamed this procedure so many times, an effort to avoid the negative reviews being found on the internet! Run a court background and case search to find his malpractice suits, run a search at the Texas Medical Board to find the multiple disciplinary actions he has undergone, including referral for psychiatric evaluation. Ask Dr. Horndeski which hospitals he has lost privileges at. Find out why there is no neutral third party peer review publications touting Dr. Gary Horndeski's "method".

Dig deep because he has made it where you have to, but make sure you are VERY CLEAR about how bad an outcome you could receive, then make sure you are able to handle the permanent disfigurement and the 40k+ in funds it will take to get you looking anything close to human again before you meet with "Doctor" Gary Horndeski.

Review about: The Bellesoma Method Breat Lift Procedure.
Reason of review: Damaged or defective.
Monetary Loss: $13900.
Cost to fix? Over $40000 to over $60000.

I got my lift done in 2020 and for 12k, my scars. should not be like this. I didnt know I was going to be cut and have fat sucked out during a follow up and was in the worst pain ever. A simple numbing shot was not helping. I wish I saw this site first. I went to a doctor and mentioned my lift and he indirectly told me in so many mannerisms that it was the worst decision I had made.

I am so thankful to read these reviews because I have relied on the Realself website for research and was considering Dr Horndeski as one of my choices. I most definitely will not be using him now! Thank you ladies again for your reviews and I am so sorry to read about the pain you have experienced.

Why aren’t we trying to take action against Real Self for their misrepresentation of Horndeski? I too wrote a negative review about him after almost dying from his negligence and nicking an artery which the clot blew out a week afterwards and that’s how I found out he did that to me during my surgery not to mention I had over a year of wound care for my nipples that both died.

I found him on real self and never saw any bad reviews so I wrote one and looked and see that it’s not up. So why aren’t we suing real self for their taking money to remove bad reviews and allowing fake reviews to be put up to make him look like he’s an actual real surgeon that knows what he’s doing? I know that my lawyer has 12 different suites against him at this moment. God knows how many others could be out there or should be. How he has lost his privileges at that many different hospitals and is still practicing is beyond me but I would love to save anyone from his Bucher job “breast lift” if I could.

I had bellesoma done by Jon ver halen of Colleyville, TX, trained by horndeski. I’ve had 3 revisions because I worked for dr ver halen. I’ve had this issue for over a year, pain, seromas, deformities, massive scars and wounds. Dr ver halen fired me as employee after 2 years for No reason and fired me as a patient. I’m in such agony and trying to get to another surgeon to fix DR VER HALENS mistake is so difficult. I’ve turned him into the medical board and his license is suspended temporarily but women run from him! He has ruined my life.

I just had my negative review of Dr.Horndeski's snake oil breast lift procedure removed from a very popular review site that he spends thousands of dollars advertising with and which they've named him "Top Doctor" - he needs to ask himself if paying to be a "top doctor" and unethically having negative reviews removed feeds that shallow ego of his or satiates that black soul.

How much money is he really willing to take from unsuspecting women after he butchers them? Since there seems to be no legal recourse because let's face it, the good ole boy medical system is reluctant to say he did anything "wrong" other than a "poor result" - we need to all go to the Better Business Bureau and make sure he has an F- grade.
I can't in good conscious let other women suffer what I have simply because a few review sites take down the negative reviews and he has some internet troll working in a basement somewhere to hide them from SEO sweeps.
DO YOUR RESEARCH!DIG DOWN TO 10TH THROUGH 50TH INTERNET RESULTS PAGE AND THEN SAY NO!

Dr.Horndeski is a joke.

He completely misrepresents his procedure as limited scar when it is clearly anything but. There are countless women who have been maimed as a result of his inept procedure, left with EXTENSIVE horizontal scarring and who have to spend money the don't have to fix the *** they are left with after he is done butchering them. Why do you think there are now doctors who specialize in reconstructing Horndeski's screw ups?
Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I wish I had.
I can't model lingerie or swimsuits anymore because of what he did to me! I'm looking at having to have laser scar removal combined with medical tattooing to fix the very long, very wide, very extensive horizontal scar under my ***. I'm tired of crying about this and now I'm going to do something about it.
I wish the medical board would go ahead and take his license.How many complaints does it take?

I'm also a victim of Horndeski and Elisa Gonzalez.
(I got a mini lift and nose job)
I too cry everyday.
The day of my surgery they took out my tampon and put in a catheter without my permission (when I was unconscious) I got severe infections and terrible pains, etc. That still affect me a year later. If I knew that Dr.
Horndeski had disciplinary actions with the Texas Medical Board, loss if hospitable privileges, and numerous malpractice claims I would have never let him ruin my life.But at least we can save people with these reviews.
