About this Treatment
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction in Toledo, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the breasts as well as improves support, contour, and shape.
Disproportionately large and asymmetrical breasts can cause several symptoms including upper back, neck, and shoulder pain and skin rash as well as be a source of significant emotional stress and self-image problems.
What It Is
Excessively large breasts can cause physical as well as emotional distress for women of any age. Disproportionately larger breasts or macromastia can result in pain of the upper back, shoulders, and neck due to the excess weight and poor support. Breast reduction in Toledo may be performed to address these medical issues or can also be done for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Frank Barone has extensive experience with a variety of surgical techniques for reducing breast excess and improving and balancing breast shape to relieve symptoms or simply improve self-image. Whatever your priorities and concerns may be, the EVOLV staff takes the time to get to know each patient personally, and special consideration is taken to design each surgical plan around your personal goals, concerns, and lifestyle.
