Services
Whether you're looking for breast augmentation to get larger, fuller breasts, breast lift to rejuvenate sagging skin, breast reduction to help your posture or alleviate back pain, or breast reconstruction following an accident or cancer, Dr. Pedersen from Plastic Surgeons of Akron excels in all these phases of breast surgery.
Countless women have relied on this procedure to improve their appearance and self-esteem. Enhancing bust size may also help women fill out clothing better so they have more choices with swimwear and wardrobe options. Dr. Pedersen's patients may have different ideas about what the "perfect breasts" look like in terms of size and shape.
A breast augmentation combined with breast lift (mastopexy) can help women achieve breasts that appear fuller, rounder and more youthful. A breast implant adds volume to the breast while a breast lift alone may not be enough to meet a woman's aesthetic goals.

To remove excess skin, incisions include one around the areola (the pigmented circle surrounding the nipple) and a vertical incision from the low part of the areola to the base of the breast.Implants are placed through these incisions and are typically positioned under the pectoral chest muscle. As in regular breast augmentation surgery, implants may be silicone or saline.
At Plastic Surgeons of Akron breast reconstruction is a delicate technique that is intended to help patients who have undergone or are planning to undergo a mastectomy to remove cancerous tissue. When combined with breast implants, patients can restore the lost tissue on their chest and regain the shape and size of their bust before treatment.
Breast reduction surgery is a comprehensive breast surgery that includes not only reducing the size of the breasts, but lifting and reshaping the breasts as well. This allows your doctor to provide you with a truly enhanced appearance while also relieving the many painful or bothersome issues that can result from heavy breasts.

Being able to get the results I wanted in the same city I live in is MAJOR. I thought I was for sure going to have to go to Miami or Atlanta but a little patience and research, I went with my gut and Dr. Pederson more than delivered. The staff are subject matter experts and they care more about your results and health than you do! I tried to come out of my drains early to flaunt, they educated me so swiftly I was no longer in a rush to show out. They are great, period. I would do it again and again and again. I will be referring anyone I hear talk about out of town procedures for sure.

Dr Pedersen and his staff are wonderful to work with. Dr Pedersen takes the time to answer all questions and doesn’t sugar coat possible imperfections in final results. I highly recommend Dr Pederson whether it is for something simple or major cosmetic surgery.

Absolute great experience. Results better than I could ever imagine. I would highly recommend Dr. PETERSON. If you want the Best leave the rest! Words can't Express how much I love my new body. My procedure was a abdominoplasty with repair diastasis/liposuction. (Tummy tuck & lipo) . I tried to lose weight after having multiple c-section, but due to scar tissue was unable to get rid of my stomach.
Healing process was fast I would definitely recommend the tap block, helped with pain and I didn't have to take many pain pills due to having.

I recently just had an Abdominoplasty and added lipo for my sides. Night and day change! Being in my mid 30's and three children later my body has been through a lot. No amount of time in the gym could fix my stomach. There is no lie denying I was a nervous as it comes but at the end of the day, I needed a change for myself and my children. Dr. Pedersen and his staff were very professional, supportive till the end, and I felt the nerves go away each step. Please understand there is nothing to be afraid of and it is WORTH IT! Cease the moment and go for it!

Dr. Pedersen performed breast reduction surgery in July and he did an outstanding job. He and his office staff are amazing and caring and I could not ever ask for more. Ladies don't put this surgery off any longer.

I have been a loyal patient for several years and have always referred business and spoke very highly of Dr. Pedersen, however this last visit was unsatisfactory. I called to express my concerns and his clinical assistant was terribly condescending, very unprofessional and highly uneducated in the clinical procedure. I asked for a callback from the doctor to discuss, however she laughed and stated he was unwilling to call to further address my concerns.

I could not have imagined this whole process ever being as easy and smooth as it was. From the initial consultation to my post-op follow-up appointment. Dr. Pedersen took his time and answered all of my questions and even showed me an example of the new implants I would be getting. The office staff was also very helpful and pleasant at each appointment. Everything was explained in detail down to the exact cost and financing options.
I was so nervous about getting this surgery, I could not even sleep days beforehand. I was worried about the kind of pain I would be in and what the final result would
