What Are The Benefits Of A Breast Reduction?

A breast reduction in Tampa, FL at Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa gives you many benefits to achieve your desired look and enhance your well-being, including:
- Helps with skin chafing
- Takes away spinal pressure

Who can have this surgery?
Women of all ages can have breast reduction surgery, even those still in their teenage years. If you decide to undergo the procedure before fully developed breasts are present, you may need a follow-up procedure later. Reduction surgery may present heightened risks for smokers, people with diabetes or heart issues, or obese people. It’s also important to consider that breast reduction surgery may leave you with some scarring on the breasts.
Women who plan to have children may want to wait for breast reduction surgery. It can be more challenging to breastfeed after this procedure. Additionally, if you’re planning to lose weight in the future, you should likely wait to achieve a healthy weight that you intend to maintain before a breast reduction.
After a successful breast reduction procedure, you’ll likely experience improved self-esteem, reduced pain in the upper body, and a greater ability to participate in physical activity. Contact Watt Plastic Surgery today to learn if breast reduction surgery is right for you.
What is Breast Reduction surgery?
Breast reduction is also known as reduction mammaplasty. This surgical procedure can help women achieve a proportionate breast size to eliminate pain or discomfort and help with emotional stress.
Breasts that are very large in proportion to a woman's body can negatively impact physical and emotional wellbeing. The technical name for disproportionately large breasts is macromastia. Physical discomfort from macromastia caused by the weight of the breasts and can include:
- Inhibited ability to move
- Chronic shoulder, neck, and back pain
- Nerve pain
- Irritated, chafed skin beneath the breasts
Breast reduction solves medical concerns, including macromastia, but it's also for cosmetic reasons. Women may opt for cosmetic breast reduction surgery to improve their body image or help fit into clothes.
What Can I Expect After Breast Reduction?
After surgery, you will be monitored closely in our quiet recovery room and then discharged home to begin the healing process. A small, tube-like draining device will most likely be inserted near the surgical site to reduce swelling and bleeding. A medical sports bra may be recommended for a few days to improve blood flow to the breasts and provide added support during the immediate recovery. Patients should also plan to sleep on their back with their upper body slightly elevated to encourage proper healing and reduce the risk of complications, including stretching or pulling on healing incisions. In a month or so, patients should begin to notice their breasts settling and their final results taking shape. Still, postoperative swelling can remain for several months. After you have fully healed from breast reduction surgery, you will be able to enjoy your new contours, improved comfort, boosted confidence, and more.
Breast Reduction Reviews
Following a breast augmentation done elsewhere, my implant had come out of pocket causing extreme discomfort and malformation.That’s when I found Dr. Watt through the recommendation of a good friend. I could not be happier with my decision as an out of town patient to trust Dr. Watt and his team with my case. My situation was recognized, my concerns were addressed and my anxieties were heard. My results were nothing short of what I had asked from size, to spacing, to profile and of course.. I was no longer in pain :)Fast forward a year, I decided I wanted to downsize my implants from Dr. Watt to something slightly more natural. And once again, I was and am beyond pleased with my results. As a returning patient to Dr. Watt’s office, my experience from start to finish was nothing short of perfect. I left with exactly what I had asked for.As someone who has consulted with plenty of surgeons around the US.. I highly recommend Dr. Watt and his team to friends, family and all strangers.
I’ve had such a great experience at Watt Plastic Surgery. Everyone there has been so kind and helpful every time, from my consultation to my post-ops. I got a breast augmentation with Dr. Girardot and couldn’t be happier with my results. Dr. Girardot is amazing! She takes her time to explain everything and truly makes you feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend this place!
I’ve never had any sort of cosmetic surgery, I went to the consultation and had a great feeling. Everybody was amazing from then beginning. Informative, supportive, non judgmental, welcoming, the staff really set off this experience and allowed me to really feel comfortable and excited. Before I had the surgery, nurses callled me, the anesthesiologist texted me, they kept me informed through the process. I got incredible communication. Dr. Watt called me the night before to ask me if I had any questions, which I really appreciated. I did miss his call but left a voicemail on how to reach him. My nurse was amazing. My OR nurse and anesthesiologist knew I was nevervous and reassured me, answered all my questions and took incredible care of me and kept saying “we got you, we’re going to take the best care of you, you’re going to look amazing” . I am now recovering really well I feel great. Dr. Watt called me again this evening to check on me. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. I have already given them the information. And the price is really reasonable considering he’s a top surgeon and board certified. He really knows what he’s doing and so does his staff. I will update my review with my results!!! I got a breast augmentation as a gift to myself for my 30th birthday. And so far I am over the moon. Thank you to this office. Another side note- my nurse I was quick and painless with the IV and had incredible bedside manner. I’m going to get all their names because I wrote them down.
I had a breast augmentation in December 2025 with Dr. Girardot, and now, three months post-op, I couldn’t be happier with my results!She truly listens to your goals while also guiding you toward what will look best for your body type. As this was my first surgery, I was pretty nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease and confident in my decision.Dr. G is truly an artist, and I couldn’t recommend her—or the entire Watt team—more highly. Thank you!
Well…. I don’t even know where to begin. This by far has been the best experience with Dr. Watts office and staff. I had my own personal experience and ended up developing some blood after my breast augmentation and when I tell you the staff acted very quick and I was back in surgery just 2 days later and everything was taken care of. I look forward to my full healing/recovery process. If anyone is looking for a Dr. for any type of breast augmentation, mommy make-over, or plastic surgery in general, I recommend coming to Dr. Watt Plastic surgery for beautiful work. Dr. Watt is the artist of plastic surgery.Thank you Dr. Watt to you and your staff for such an amazing experience so far.

About UsBreast Reduction FAQs
Will my nipples be moved?
Usually, the nipples and areola will be shifted up to a central position during the surgery. If a large amount of breast tissue and skin needs to be removed, your nipple-areola complex may need to be moved. Dr. Watt will select a technique like the anchor incision so the nipple and areola can easily move higher. It is also possible to perform an areolatome to reduce the size of the areolas. We will explain your options at your consultation before Dr. Watt helps you decide on the best plan to achieve your goals.
Can I breastfeed after a breast reduction?
Breast reduction surgery can affect your ability to breastfeed. Although some women may still be able to breastfeed after a reduction, other women cannot. It is difficult to know whether your breast reduction will cause you problems with breastfeeding. This is why Dr. Watt suggests that patients be done with breastfeeding before considering breast reduction surgery.
Can my breasts re-grow after surgery?
After breast reduction surgery, your breasts may get bigger or smaller with dramatic weight changes. This is why it's helpful to be at a healthy, stable weight that's easy for you to maintain before your surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Watt will talk to you about the best ways to prepare for your reduction and what you can do afterward to help make sure your results last.
