Breast Reduction Surgery - Cincinnati, Ohio

Breast Reduction Surgery Overview - Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati Plastic Surgeon Dr. Michael Vennemeyer is Board Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons and performs Breast Reduction Surgery. Breast Reduction is a great option for many women with large breasts. Large breasts can lead to chronic back and shoulder pain as well as permanent shoulder grooves from thick bra straps. Many times those with large sagging breasts develop yeast infections under their breasts. Chronic yeast infections are not only embarrassing and terribly uncomfortable, but may also lead to skin breakdown and infection. Another drawback to large pendulous breasts is that they limit certain physical activities and make exercising very uncomfortable. Many women with large breasts also experience intimacy issues because they are uncomfortable with their appearance. Studies show that breast reduction patients are some of the happiest plastic surgery patients after surgery because their quality of life improves so dramatically.

What will my Breast Reduction scars look like?

During your Breast Reduction consultation, Dr. Vennemeyer will discuss the details of your surgery and explain where your scars will be. Essentially, you will be trading large pendulous breasts for smaller perkier breasts with scars. Most breast reduction patients find their scars to be a small price to pay for their much improved quality of life. There are two main approaches that Dr. Vennemeyer uses when performing Breast Reduction Surgery: Vertical Breast Reduction and Wise Pattern Breast Reduction.

Vertical Breast Reduction Surgery – Cincinnati, Ohio
Vertical Breast Reduction results in a scar around the areola and from the center bottom of the areola to the crease underneath the breast known as the inframammary fold. This creates a 'lollipop' shaped pattern. Vertical Breast Reduction can be used in all cases except those with the most severe size and sagging conditions.

Wise Pattern Breast Reduction – Cincinnati, Ohio
The second technique used by Dr. Vennemeyer in women with the most severe size and sagging conditions is called the Wise Pattern Breast Reduction. This technique results in an 'anchor' scar around the areola, from the center bottom of the areola to the inframammary fold, and a third scar in the inframammary fold underneath the breast.

Will insurance pay for my Breast Reduction Surgery?
Many times insurance does pay for Breast Reduction Surgery! Coverage is determined on an individual basis and depends on the extent of tissue needing to be removed as well as the extent of physical symptoms related to your large breasts.
