Breast Reduction Before & After

Breast Reduction Surgery What to Expect

Breast reduction surgery reduces the size of your breasts while simultaneously improving their shape and placement. During the procedure, Dr. Wingate will:

  • Remove excess breast tissue and skin
  • Reduce the overall size of the breast
  • Adjust the size and position of the areola
  • Sculpt an overall natural and perky chest

The Surgery

Dr. Wingate will perform your breast reduction under general anesthesia. The entire procedure will take approximately two to three hours to complete. Depending on the size of your breasts and your desired results, Dr. Wingate may use one of the following three techniques:

Vertical Reduction

With this technique, Dr. Wingate will make an incision around the areola and down your breast. It’s ideal for women who require moderate breast size reduction and want to address noticeable sagging.

Inverted Reduction

The incisions with this approach mimic those of the vertical reduction but with an additional opening along the bottom crease of your breasts. Dr. Wingate usually reserves this approach for women who need significant breast size reductions.

Liposuction

If you only require a slight reduction in breast size, Dr. Wingate may be able to accomplish your goals with liposuction. It’s less invasive and can remove a small amount of fat from the breasts. However, it’s not ideal for women who have very large breasts or significant sagging and asymmetry.

The Recovery

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.

The Results

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 ReductionFrequently Asked Questions

Will I have scars after my breast reduction?

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.
