Plastic Surgeons Dr. Jean Loftus, Dr. Michael D. Vennemeyer of Cincinnati, Ohio (OH), Fort Wright, Kentucky (KY) Profiles

Dr. Loftus is a female plastic surgeon who has appeared on The View, The Today Show, MSNBC, CNN, and Later Today (discussing both liposuction and breast augmentation) to discuss plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery procedures. She is considered a vocal advocate of patient safety, satisfaction, and education in plastic surgery.

Dr. Loftus’ highly acclaimed book, "The Smart Woman’s Guide to Plastic Surgery", has become extremely popular since it's release of the 1st edition in January, 2000. Written by a female plastic surgeon for women, it contains essential information on liposuction, breast augmentation, and other cosmetic surgery procedures.

Training, Education, Memberships, and Background

Long before Dr. Loftus became a plastic surgeon, she undertook years of education, which began at the University of Wisconsin in 1981. Her training led her to the University of California-Davis and to the University of Cincinnati. But, before considering her 14 years of college, medical school, and residency complete, Dr. Loftus pursued a cosmetic surgery fellowship in Miami, Florida in 1995.

“I chose plastic surgery because, through it, plastic surgeons can change people in ways they never imagined possible. A change in appearance can transform someone’s whole outlook on life. Being a part of this metamorphosis is the most important and pleasurable part of my work.”

A Reputation Among the National Media

Dr. Loftus is considered an authority by the media, having appeared on numerous talk shows and news shows. The media recognize her as being an ethical, compassionate, and balanced plastic surgeon, maintaining patient safety and education as her top priorities. They know that when they ask Dr. Loftus questions, they will get objective, up-to-date, state-of-the-art information on plastic surgery.

“Even though I am considered an expert by the media, I will never consider my knowledge complete. This is because medicine changes rapidly. To keep up with these advances, I pursue continuing medical education aggressively. That’s also why professional memberships are so important. They give me an opportunity to meet with other plastic surgeons, evaluate new techniques, and share ideas with other plastic surgeons on how to get the best results for my patients with the least risk and fastest recovery.”

Dr. Loftus is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which only admits plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. She is also a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, for which she has been granted the privilege to use the initials F.A.C.S. after her name.

Dr. Loftus has published several articles in peer-reviewed medical journals. Dr. Loftus also recognized the need for a truly honest source of information about cosmetic surgery for patients. The fruit of her efforts, The Smart Woman’s Guide to Plastic Surgery, is now a popular book in the country on cosmetic surgery. This book has helped thousands of women across the country and around the world.

Specializing in Plastic Surgery for Women

Dr. Michael Vennemeyer, a board-certified Cincinnati plastic surgeon, has established himself as the only male plastic surgeon in Cincinnati who specializes exclusively in plastic surgery for women. His artistic eye and surgical talents have won him the respect of women throughout Cincinnati, Ohio, and Kentucky.

This is why the Loftus Plastic Surgery Center, which has long focused on the care of women by women, had never imagined that it would invite a male plastic surgeon to join...until Dr. Vennemeyer came along. Dr. Vennemeyer's unparalleled skill and rapport – combined with his focus exclusively on female patients – has created an absolutely winning combination for all women in the Cincinnati area.

Dr. Michael D. Vennemeyer is an exceptionally accomplished plastic surgeon. His drive for excellence, depth of experience, balanced judgment, genuine compassion, and boundless energy underscore his incomparable talent in the field of aesthetic and cosmetic plastic surgery.

An innovator in his field, Dr. Vennemeyer's youthful appearence underscores his cutting edge training yet fails to demonstrate his true depth and breadth of experience. Any initial apprehension over his enviable genetic predisposition to looking young vanishes when you meet him. His skill as a surgeon is tempered by a sense of style and an eye for detail making him a well-suited expert in plastic surgery for women.

Current Practice

Dr. Michael Vennemeyer, plastic surgeon, specializes in cosmetic plastic surgery for women. He has offices in Cincinnati, Ohio and Northern Kentucky, but he sees patients from all over the country. He is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, which is the only Board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties for certifying plastic surgeons. This is one of the few ways that prospective patients have of telling the difference between plastic surgeons who are qualified to perform their procedures and those who merely claim to be by virtue of “certification” by other or dis-reputable boards. Dr. Vennemeyer is a candidate member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, which invites only plastic surgeons who are certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to become members.

Not surprisingly, Dr. Vennemeyer was recognized as one of America’s Top Surgeons in the field of Plastic Surgery by the Consumer’s Research Council of America in 2010. He was also honoured by being named a top Cosmetic Surgeon in 2010 by the Docs Rate Docs survey sponsored by The Columbus Dispatch and WBNS-TV Channel 10.
