Patient Testimonials

2018-02-17 Dr. Ellen and her staff are very professional and knowledgeable.

Before having breast reduction surgery I was a confident person on the inside but a shy and reserved person on the outside. Growing up I loved to play sports. As I got older it became harder to participate because of my larger chest. I wanted to be active but, I just couldn’t gain the endurance or stamina needed. Being petite at 4’ 11 1/2″ tall, I was insecure about the way I looked. I would choose clothes based on how they fit and how they could hide my bigger chest. Claiming myself as a tomboy, was just part of my body insecurity of how clothes that I wanted to wear just didn’t fit right, or how I wasn’t comfortable in my own skin. Even though on the inside I wanted to broaden my horizons and try new things. I had thought about having breast reduction surgery in the past but was too nervous to do it because I had never had surgery before. I had no idea what the recovery process was going to be and how I would handle it. After losing weight while working for a landscaping company during the summer of 2015, the weight of my chest was starting to cause strain on my shoulders. This strain then created a lot of pain in my shoulders. I started thinking more seriously about the surgery when my brother became engaged. Knowing that I was going to be standing up in his wedding gave me the push I needed to finally come in for the consultation. This surgery has impacted my life in the best way possible. My brother’s wedding was a big turning point for me. Picking out a dress, high heels and experiencing getting my hair, makeup, and nails done was a big deal for me. When relatives would comment that I looked great, I would comment back saying that I felt great! Since the surgery, my whole attitude and outlook on life have changed. I am now a happy go lucky confident person who is ready to take on the world. I’m wearing more flattering clothes that I would have never even thought to try on. Before I would sit on the sidelines thinking about activities I wanted to do and now I just do them!! This year I have tried pilates, and kickboxing signed up for a gym membership for the first time and recently participated in my first 5K. I’m excited to see what the future holds!!

Dr Janetzke and her staff were incredible. A different person to oversee each aspect of the procedure, from insurance questions, to paper work to pre and post op care. Not to mention the medical staff was accessible by email whenever I had questions after my surgery, which was so convenient. Dr Janetzke did an incredible job with the surgery and I had zero complications.
