What Are The Benefits Of A Breast Reduction?
Although a number of individuals might desire to grow the shape of their breasts, for some, unnaturally large breasts have the potential to negatively influence their everyday lives and confidence. 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:

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
My experience was beyond my expectations at Watt Plastic Surgery. Dr. Girardot is incredible & truly cares about her patients. She takes her time with you during the consult, makes you feel comfortable, and listens to what you want & gives her recommendations based on your breast goals. I was nervous and scared with having a breast reduction & lift but she really made me feel comfortable the day of the surgery & after. The staff was incredible as well. She took her time with measuring out and marking me up the morning of my surgery and my breast look perfect. I highly recommend her to address your needs and concerns for whatever procedures she can preform. Thank you Dr. Girardot for caring and understanding my needs! ❤️
I cannot recommend Dr Watt and his team highly enough. I am now a year postop from my breast augmentation surgery and it has completely changed my life and given me the confidence I've always wanted for myself. Now I am a continued customer and go to Tori as my aesthetician and would highly recommend her to anyone as well. I also now see Jamie for all injections and can honestly say that Dr Watt has put together the most friendly, caring and intelligent team.
I have been to Watt Plastic surgery for a number of different things and all my experiences with the providers have been amazing. Dr. Watt did my breast augmentation and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. He listened to all my concerns and made sure we were both on the same page throughout the entire process! I also went to Jaime for lip filler and she gave me the exact natural results I was looking for! Jaime also recommended I see Alicia for a Moxi treatment for some scars I had and after 2 treatments my skin is looking brand new! I am so thankful for the team at Watt Plastic Surgery for making me look and feel my best :)
I went to Dr. Watt for a breast augmentation and a scar revision from my C section and I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Watt and his staff. Everyone was so Friendly and helpful throughout the entire process. I could not be happier with the outcome that I received after surgery and now three months postop. I highly recommend Dr. Watt for any plastic surgery needs !
The best surgeon in Tampa! I had been looking for a good surgeon for years and I was afraid to have surgery but when I went to Dr. Watts my worries went away. He is super professional. The staff at the clinic is excellent. All the girls are super friendly and helped me a lot with all my questions. The nurses and the anesthesiologist are excellent. Super friendly too and they always explained everything to me in detail. They also had a nurse who spoke Spanish and explained everything in detail to my family. So if you are afraid of the language it doesn't matter because they will find a way to communicate. Lastly, I want to say that I loved my results. The recovery was super fast. I went for an areola reduction and breast augmentation. It wasn't expensive at all and I loved my results.

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.
