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:
- Helps with skin chafing
- Takes away spinal pressure
- Boosts confidence and self-image

- Reshapes the nipples
- Lifts and shapes the breasts

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
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.
I cannot recommend Dr.Watt highly enough! From the very beginning, he was personable, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. The day before my breast augmentation and lift, he personally called me to answer any last-minute questions and make sure I didn't have any concerns, which meant so much and really helped put me at ease.The results exceeded my expectations—they came out absolutely perfect. His attention to detail and expertise are evident in his work. I also want to recognize his incredible staff, who worked extremely hard to fit me into a very tight scheduling window. Their dedication, responsiveness, and support made the entire experience seamless.I am beyond happy with my results and grateful for the exceptional care I received from both the surgeon and his team.
I went to Dr.Watt for a breast augmentation and was so impressed with everything from the consultation to the procedure to the final result! Everyone was so patient, kind, and took the time to really understand what results you were looking for. Dr.Watt and his staff are amazing. I highly recommend Watt plastic surgery!
I had my breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Girardot on June 8th, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience! From my very first consultation to my post-op appointments, Dr. Girardot made me feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease. She took the time to answer all of my questions and made the entire process feel so much less stressful.Her entire team is absolutely amazing everyone is kind, welcoming, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. I always felt supported every step of the way.I am so grateful I chose Dr. Girardot. If I ever decide to have another procedure in the future, there is no question where I’ll be going.

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.
