Lighten heavy breasts and sculpt balanced breasts with a breast reduction with Dr. Nicholas Wingate.
Breasts that are too large for your frame can cause discomfort and aesthetic issues. In these cases, a breast reduction with Dr. Wingate can shape lighter, proportionate, and balanced breasts that look and feel beautiful.
After your breast reduction surgery, we will fit you with a surgical bra to wear during your recovery to support your new breast contours and ensure your comfort. You can expect to take at least one week off from work.
You’ll notice that your breasts are lighter and more balanced within the first two to three months, but it can take one year for your full results to become apparent.
Breast reduction surgery will result in some scars. However, Dr. Wingate will strategically place the incisions so that the resulting scars are concealed in the natural contours of your breast or easily hidden by a bra or bathing suit.
Many patients consider breast reduction when large breasts interfere with daily comfort, posture, or physical activity. A consultation allows Dr. Wingate to evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine whether surgery is an appropriate option.
Excess breast weight can contribute to forward shoulder positioning and chronic strain across the upper back. Reducing that weight often allows patients to stand and move more comfortably.
Breast reduction can often address noticeable asymmetry by adjusting the amount of tissue removed from each side. This allows the surgeon to create a more even breast size and shape.
Most patients maintain normal or near-normal nipple sensation after surgery. Temporary changes can occur during healing, but sensation often improves as swelling resolves.
Some patients are able to breastfeed after breast reduction, while others may experience reduced milk production. Because techniques vary, this is an important topic to discuss during your consultation if future breastfeeding is a priority.
Significant weight fluctuations can influence breast size and shape over time. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve the long-term balance achieved with surgery.
Patients are usually advised to sleep on their back for the first few weeks to protect the healing breasts. Side sleeping is typically allowed once swelling decreases and your surgeon confirms it is safe.
Most patients wait several weeks before shopping for new bras while swelling settles. Your surgical bra will provide support during the early healing phase.
Many patients find that clothing fits more comfortably after surgery. Shirts, dresses, and athletic wear often sit more proportionately on the body once breast size is reduced.
