Breast reduction (reduction mammaplasty) is one of the most “high satisfaction” procedures in plastic surgery because it offers immediate improvement in both physical comfort and confidence. Patients choose this procedure when the weight of disproportionately large breasts causes chronic pain, postural issues, or limitations in their active lifestyle.
At FORM Face + Body, our surgeons approach breast reduction with surgical-grade precision, focusing on creating a lighter, more proportionate shape that harmonizes with your unique frame. Our 23,000-square-foot sanctuary is designed to support this transition with meticulous care and the most advanced recovery technology available in Canada.

Breast reduction is a procedure designed to reduce the size and reshape the breasts to better fit the patient's body proportions. Beyond simply making the breasts smaller, the surgery may involve a breast lift (mastopexy) to reposition the nipple-areolar complex to a more youthful, elevated location. At FORM, we offer various techniques to ensure the most meticulous result based on your skin elasticity and the amount of tissue being removed. The goal is a smaller, lighter, firmer contour that alleviates the weight of large breasts while creating more balanced proportions.
Because pricing depends on your unique goals and chosen procedure, we provide detailed, personalized quotes during a direct consultation with our team.

On your surgery day, you will be placed under general anesthesia in our state-of-the-art surgical suite. Your surgeon follows a personalized surgical map, removing excess tissue and skin while preserving the blood supply to the nipple.
The underlying breast tissue is reshaped and lifted, and the skin is meticulously sutured to create a tighter, more streamlined contour. Because we prioritize scientific evidence in our surgical methods, we use advanced techniques to minimize scarring and ensure long-term structural integrity.
After a breast reduction in Toronto, your breasts will likely be covered with gauze and a surgical support bra. You will be able to move around normally; however, actions that involve lifting, straining, or strenuous exercise should be avoided for 6 weeks until the breasts have completely healed. Breast reduction surgery is not overly painful and, although strong pain medication will be prescribed, most often Tylenol and Advil are sufficient to help alleviate discomfort. Sexual activity should be limited during the two weeks after surgery.
Many different techniques can be used during breast reduction surgery in Toronto. Through a comprehensive examination that includes detailed measurements and 3D VECTRA photographic analysis, your surgeon will determine the best technique for you.
Incisions may be made in one of three ways:
After your surgeon removes excess breast tissue and skin, the nipple and areola are repositioned higher. The remaining breast tissue is then rearranged to provide a proportional and aesthetically pleasing shape.
Breast reduction can be an extremely effective solution to large breasts, which cause:
The benefits of a breast reduction are profound. Patients often describe a feeling of "lightness" upon waking from surgery. By removing the physical burden of excess weight, you unlock a new level of vitality and freedom in your daily movement.
Structural Harmony and Aesthetic Lift
Unlike a standard lift, a reduction fundamentally changes the balance of your body. It allows clothing to fit better, improves your athletic performance, and eliminates the self-consciousness often associated with an overly large bust. This is a "one-stop shop" for both functional health and a refined, natural aesthetic.
You may be a candidate for breast reduction if your breast size causes physical discomfort, limits your activity, or creates a silhouette you find disproportionate. Ideally, patients should be at a stable weight and have finished breastfeeding, though we treat women of all ages, from young adults to those in their more mature years. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and genetics to ensure a safe procedure and beautiful outcome.
Your consultation with your surgeon is designed to maximize your outcomes and minimize complications by ensuring that the appropriate procedure is selected and that you have a full understanding of your pre and post-operative instructions. Our office is a constant resource for you in this regard and will carefully guide you through this exciting experience.
You will be instructed to wear a support bra for 6 weeks, until the swelling and discolouration of your breasts diminish. Your breasts will be swollen and bruised for about two weeks. You’ll likely feel pain and soreness around the incisions, which will be red or pink for a few months. You may notice that you feel less sensation in the nipple and areola areas. Sensation loss is usually temporary and may take weeks, months, or even more than a year to return to normal. Your breasts will require some time to settle and assume a pleasing, natural shape.
The breast reduction procedure will leave some scarring along the incision sites. While scars are permanent, they’ll soften and become thin and white within one to two years. The scarring will generally follow along the natural lines of the breast and can usually be hidden by bras and bathing suits. The extent of the scars will depend largely on your body’s ability to heal, but your surgeon will provide you with all the necessary tools to maximize your healing and minimize visible scarring.

The results of a breast reduction are transformative. Once the initial swelling subsides—typically within 4 to 8 weeks—you will see a more proportionate breast shape with an elevated nipple position. The physical relief from back and neck pain is often noticeable within the first few days.
Because we permanently remove excess tissue and skin, the results are exceptionally long-lasting. While your body will continue to age naturally, your new, lighter silhouette provides a foundation for a more active, confident lifestyle for decades to come.

In some cases, if the procedure is deemed medically necessary to treat chronic pain, it may be partially covered by provincial health plans. We can help you navigate the documentation required for this process.
While many women can breastfeed successfully after a reduction, there is a risk that the procedure may affect milk production. If breastfeeding is a high priority for you, be sure to discuss this with your surgeon during your consult.
This varies significantly based on your frame and goals. During your consult, we will discuss your desired cup size and determine the appropriate volume of tissue to remove to achieve balance.
While reduction surgery requires incisions, they are meticulously placed in the natural creases of the breast. Over time, and with our advanced scar management protocols, these lines typically fade to thin, discreet marks.
The results from breast reduction surgery in Toronto should be long-lasting. Once corrected, the breasts should remain relatively stable, assuming weight does not fluctuate greatly. Maintaining a stable, healthy weight can help you retain your results. Over time, skin inelasticity due to aging and gravity may make another procedure necessary to retain the desired results.
