How Does Breast Reduction Work?

Clinically known as reduction mammoplasty, breast reduction carefully removes extra breast tissue, fat, and skin to lessen the breasts' weight and volume. Your surgeon typically reshapes the remaining tissue as well, ensuring that the final size and positioning appear balanced with your overall physique. Incision patterns differ depending on your anatomy and the level of reduction required—ranging from a circular cut around the areola to more comprehensive anchor-shaped or lollipop incisions.

At pēkomd®, we personalize each plan to accommodate your unique proportions, skin quality, and personal preferences. This thoughtful approach helps ensure that the outcome addresses your primary concerns—such as back or shoulder pain—while producing a breast size that feels both functional and aesthetically pleasing over the long term.

Reasons to Consider Breast Reduction

Overly large breasts can sometimes cause more than cosmetic frustration; they can also contribute to recurring physical pain and emotional unease. Women often notice chronic tension across the upper back, neck, or shoulders as they bear the extra weight. Chafing or skin indentations from bra straps are also common, influencing day-to-day comfort. Beyond that, certain forms of exercise may feel strenuous or impractical, limiting options for fitness or leisure pursuits.

Breast reduction in Toledo tackles these hurdles head-on by delivering a more proportionate chest that's aligned with your lifestyle demands. By relieving stress from your upper body and reshaping your silhouette, you can more easily find supportive bras, explore a greater variety of clothing styles, and move through physical activities with greater freedom. For many, the result is a new lease on life—free from the constraints that once overshadowed routine tasks or activities they enjoyed.

What to Expect During Your Breast Reduction Procedure at pēkomd

Your breast reduction journey begins with a detailed consultation at pēkomd's Toledo location. A board-certified surgeon will explore your objectives, assess your breast composition, and determine the level of reshaping you need—be it moderate or more substantial.

After we outline the extent of necessary tissue removal, we'll talk through possible incision placements, such as the “lollipop” (vertical) or “anchor” (inverted T) technique, emphasizing which method aligns best with your anatomy and desired post-surgical contours. On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited center for a pre-operative review, including anesthesia details. While general anesthesia is typical, each case can vary.

During the operation, the surgeon meticulously removes extra breast tissue and skin before reshaping the remaining tissue and repositioning the nipple-areolar complex, if needed. Surgical drains may be placed temporarily to assist in fluid removal during early recovery. Once complete, you'll spend time in a monitored post-op setting, where our team ensures you're comfortable and stable before you head home with personalized recovery guidelines.

Recovering After Your Breast Reduction Procedure

The immediate aftermath of breast reduction typically involves swelling, mild bruising, or soreness in the chest area. Over-the-counter or prescription pain medications can help, and you'll likely wear a specially designed post-surgical bra or compression garment to support the tissues as they heal.

While lighter tasks can often be resumed within about one to two weeks, it's essential to postpone strenuous activity or lifting heavy objects for a minimum of four weeks—or as directed by your surgeon. Periodic follow-up visits at pēkomd® in Toledo enable us to monitor your progress, remove any sutures if necessary, and verify that healing aligns with expectations.

Some initial swelling or numbness can linger for a few months, but you'll gradually notice the breasts settling into their refined shape. Adhering to your surgeon's post-op instructions—such as avoiding underwire bras initially or safeguarding incisions from sunlight—significantly boosts both your comfort level and the final look of your results.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Breast Reduction in Toledo?

A breast reduction in Toledo could be the right path if you experience chronic discomfort in your upper body, enduring skin irritation under the breast crease, or general self-consciousness in your everyday lifestyle because of large breasts. It's also essential to have a healthy, stable weight and a willingness to allow time for healing before resuming high-impact activities. Additionally, you'll need a realistic mindset about the potential for post-surgical scarring, which typically fades over time with the right care. During your consultation, our board-certified surgeons consider not only your immediate symptoms but also your broader goals—like whether you plan future weight fluctuations or childbirth. By melding these factors into an all-encompassing evaluation, we confirm you're in a strong place physically and emotionally to take advantage of this life-changing procedure.

Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio

I have had surgery is some of the top hospitals in Ohio and beyond. Dr. Markov is one of the best microsurgeons in Southwest Ohio, and the surrounding areas.His education, military background, and work experience speaks for itself. I have found him to be professional, highly-skilled, and he has excellent bedside manner. Dr. Markov treated me with respect, educated me about my options, and empowered me to decide what breast reconstruction option best for me. He approached my reconstruction surgery like Michelangelo to a painting. He was detailed oriented and cared about my final outcomes. I couldn't be happier with his performance. I highly recommend Dr. Markov for any cancer related or cosmetics surgery.

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down

Mr. Dr. Fourman has been the best doctor hands down so far that I have ever experienced in my life so far and I only have had my first office visit. He is so polite, listens and exsplained in full detail. He made me feel heard and he actually listened to me as his patient and did not belittle or make me feel like i was uneducated or wrong for my reasons to be vivisting his office. Thank you to Dr. Fourman and his wonderful staff members!

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away!

My daughter first had some work done a few years ago with Dr. Straka. Of course she was/is a beautiful girl in every way, but this definitely enhanced things for her. I inherited the worst bags you could ever imagine. Getting older I thought let me do something for me! I scheduled a consult and I am truly sad that I had not gone sooner.

Dr. Straka is very personable, professional, and earned my trust right away! I am only 10 days post op and I love my new look already! Cristina has been very attentive from day one. I am still being checked on today. Dr. Straka is doing great things at pekomd! I highly recommend him to anyone!!!!!!! He gets a 100 stars

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he was local. I really liked his approach and he made me feel very comfortable. Today I had my 4 week post op appointment from the final phase of the reconstruction and I am thrilled with the results. I feel and look like myself again. Honestly they look better than they did before my mastectomy. I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist. The only thing left, if I opt to do this, is the tattooing. I am not sure if I am going to do that just yet, because they already look so good. Anyhow, I would 100 % recommend Dr. Markov.

Wish I had done this 10 years sooner.

Don't put it off any longer!
If you have thought about weight-loss surgery, Dr. Fourman is the Dr. you need to see! He's very personable, understands and is caring.I followed all the pre op instructions, did out patient, in the morning, and was up and moving around very well by that evening. He's staff is wonderful too. There are no scary front desk reception. Everyone there knows what your going through. Wish I had done this 10 years sooner. Like I said...Don't put it off for another year!

Breast Reduction Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to experience how breast reduction in Toledo can free you from the discomfort of oversized breasts? Contact pēkomd® today to schedule a consult and embark on a future marked by lighter, more balanced contours.

Will insurance cover my breast reduction?

Insurance may cover part or all of the procedure if it's deemed medically necessary—like when associated back, neck, or shoulder pain is documented. Our staff can help you navigate the pre-approval process.

How extensive will my scars be?

While scars are a normal outcome of surgery, we carefully place incisions to minimize visibility. Most patients find that these lines fade considerably in the months following the operation.

Can a breast reduction also lift my breasts?

Yes. In many cases, removing excess tissue and repositioning the breast structure inherently provides a lift, promoting a perkier, more youthful look overall.

How soon can I resume exercise?

Light activity may resume within a week or two, but high-impact workouts and heavy lifting typically require a four- to six-week waiting period, guided by your surgeon's assessment.

Will losing weight after a breast reduction alter my results?

Significant weight changes can impact breast size and shape post-surgery. Maintaining a stable weight ensures more lasting benefits from your procedure.
