Aesthetic Breast Reconstruction in Cleveland, OH

Dr. Feng has long been an advocate of doing surgery using natural techniques without the use of a foreign object. Her approach has long-term, non-reactive benefits to the patient. Tubular Breast Deformity is characterized by a large areolar complex and a very high inframammary fold with most of the breast tissue below the fold. Dr. Feng corrects this by reshaping the breast tissue, reducing the areolar, and lifting the breast tissue above the inframammary fold — without the use of an implant. This is a long-term, safe, permanent solution.

With a healthy lifestyle including exercise and good nutrition the fat will react according to any significant weight fluctuations. If you lose weight or gain weight the injected fat will react accordingly. Our post-op hyperbaric oxygen sessions also help the fat grafts to thrive.

Yes, depending on your insurance, some do reimburse for a portion of the cost of the reconstructive surgery, particularly if it is for a congenital deformity. We do not take insurance for payment, but we will provide you with a letter of medical necessity, as well as the proper diagnosis and procedure codes so that you can file a claim for reimbursement directly to you.

The remedy for gynecomastia (male breasts) is to remove both fat and excess breast tissue. If the individual has more fat than breast tissue, he must be careful not to gain too much weight or it can come back. Breast tissue will not come back once removed.

The two breasts typically separate pretty far apart from each other with a wide separation in the middle. When using the arms to lift, push or pull, the breasts will move in a noticeably unusual way. The muscle repair not only eliminates the visual deformity, but it allows the patient to regain their upper body strength back that they lost when the muscle was cut to insert the implants.

Poland Syndrome is where breast tissue is missing and the pectoralis major muscle is either missing or poorly developed on one breast. Dr. Feng corrects this by building the breast with fat or using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap. This is a long-term, safe, permanent solution.

Due to the type of anesthetics we use, it is no problem for several reasons. First and foremost, all of our anesthesiologists are highly experienced board certified doctors, not nurse anesthetists. Next, we don't use anesthetic gas to keep patients asleep. Instead, you are breathing a combination of oxygen and air. This is much healthier for you than breathing gas. Then through an IV in your arm, you are receiving very fast-acting anesthetics that completely leave your system within 6 minutes after the surgery ends. This allows you to wake up quickly with no nausea and no hangover effect. You are alert and in control of yourself going into the Recovery Room.
