What Should I Expect from Breast Reduction?
Breast reduction is typically performed on an outpatient basis with the patient under general anesthesia. The duration of the procedure varies, depending on the complexity of the incision, the technique used, the amount of tissue to be removed, and the need for repositioning the areola and nipple area. Liposuction may be used to reduce fat and tissue during the surgery. Scarring is a common concern, but advancements in techniques can minimize breast reduction scars. The type of incision used, whether inverted-T or vertical, depends on the extent of reduction needed. This surgery involves removing breast tissue and lifting and tightening the remaining tissue and skin. Following post-surgery care instructions can also improve healing and scar appearance. Complete recovery takes several weeks, but each person's breast reduction recovery time varies.

Breast Reduction Reviews
I had the best experience at PSI of Dayton. Dr Schmidt did my surgery and I can’t say enough good things about him and his staff! He did my breast reduction and I have never felt so good about myself, the results are amazing! I highly recommend him and PSI of Dayton for any surgical needs.
My breast augmentation was done by Dr. Fox and the ease I felt in his office throughout the whole process was exponential. He made sure I got what I wanted and I love my results! His whole staff was very friendly!
DR FOX IS A AMAZING PLASTIC SURGEON. HE DID MY BREAST AUGMENTATION AND MY RESULTS ARE AMAZING I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM . HE HAS THE BEST BED SIDE MANNER . I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR FOX .
Update on my breast augmentation I had done with Dr.Schmidt and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE my breast now💖!! He did amazing job! I’m a curvier woman 5.5 at 195lbs and decided to go with 685cc silicone “gummy bear” breast implants which puts me in a DD. They look so natural and beautiful. The facility was clean and a perfect out patient center to have them done. Thank you so much Dr.Schmidt and to all your amazing staff that had helped me!
Great physicians, great staff! They listen and offer suggestions and then make it happen. I have been a repeat customer for the last few years and there’s a good reason for that, Dr. Fox and his work.

Can teenagers get a breast reduction?
Teens with significant pain, posture issues, or emotional distress related to breast size may be strong candidates. Timing depends on physical maturity and whether breast growth has stabilized. Our team will help families determine the most appropriate approach.
Will my nipples be numb after breast reduction surgery?
Temporary numbness is common because nerve pathways are stretched during surgery. Sensation often improves gradually, though outcomes vary based on the extent of tissue removal. Our team will explain what is most realistic for your anatomy.
