Let’s Have a Conversation
Large breasts can cause a number of problems, including shoulder and neck pain, skin irritation, and discomfort during exercise. A breast reduction can help by eliminating excess skin and breast tissue to create a breast size more in line with your body type and lifestyle. This procedure removes excess fat, breast tissue, and skin. The breasts become smaller, lighter, and firmer along with the downsizing of the nipple to fit the proportion of the new breast size. Often combined with liposuction to remove excess breast tissue in the lateral breast area and armpits to achieve the best aesthetic outcome for the patient.
Dr. Godat also repositions your nipples to align with your new breast contours, and can also decrease nipple size. If you’re planning to breastfeed in the future, you should discuss the timing of your breast reduction with Dr. Godat.
Why to consider a breast reduction?
- Large breasts causing chronic back and neck pain
- Asymmetrical breast size
- Restricted activity
- Difficulty fitting into bras and clothing due to breast size
Recovery & Results
After surgery, it will take several days for patient to fully recover. Incisions take up to three weeks to heal and swelling up to six weeks to resolve. Numbness of the nipple areolar may occur in some patients and subside after an extended period of time. Most patients return to work the week after surgery. You should avoid heavy lifting for several weeks. You will be able to see optimal results within six months after their breast reduction.
When you’re ready to explore the options for achieving the breast size and shape you desire, schedule a consultation with David M. Godat, MD. Request an appointment online or give us a call to schedule a complimentary consultation.

24 hours after my Microdermabrasion Facial with Godat Plastic Surgry and I couldn’t be happier about my skin! Clear and glowing – Thanks to Kristi for taking the time to explain the procedure process and offering at home treatments for best results! I’ll definitely be back and am excited to see the results after a few months of routine facials.
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Godat and his staff. From my first consultation to (now) months post-op, I have been given top notch care and attention. Every question answered clearly and honestly, every concern listened to and addressed. And let’s not forget about my amazing results. I highly recommend Dr. Godat. He changed my life!
Dr. Godat was very helpful when I was inquiring about botox for the first time. The staff was very friendly and I was able to make an appointment quickly with no hassle. Would highly recommend.
I had a Duodenal Switch in October of 2017 and since that time had gone from 389# to 235# which left me with and abundance of hanging skin. The weight lost actually increased my back pain due from my herniated disks due to the lack of “padding” as well as the added stress from the hanging skin. Once I was finally approved for the skin removal and abdominoplasty last December, The process was very quick. I had my first appointment on Dec 3rd, preop on Dec 9th and surgery on Dec 12th. Everything went great. I had and issue with one area of abdomen not healing properly ending up in the need for wound care for it to totally heal. The results have been AWESOME. I am now having very little back pain have lost another 20# (down to 215#) and 6 more inches from my waistline (44 inch waist before skin removal and now 38). Dr. Godat and his staff have been truly amazing thru this whole process.

Dr. David Godat performed surgery on me last year. I’m glad I got the results I wanted. He and his staff are friendly. If you are in need of help, greatly recommend using his service.
Went in expecting a possible run around because I didn’t know if I lost enough weight but the staff was completely welcoming and human and helped me to see things I couldn’t see on my own and I could get help for skin removal. Dr Godat walked in and cemented that feeling. He listened to my history and weight loss stats and told me I did just enough and I was a great candidate for surgery. My surgery date was set and 3 weeks later I had my tummy tuck. The after care was excellent and easy. I thank God for Dr. Godat and his staff!!!! Please call him! He won’t give up on you!
Dr.Godat is the best, he does awesome work I got my tummy tuck on June 18,2018 and I can truly say I’m amazed at my results.

I referred my dentist and he is set for surgery Nov.23,2018 for his procedure and a couple of the ladies from the dentist office. I’m referring everyone to Dr.Godat. Thank you Dr.Godat and his team for an outstanding service and I tip my hat off to his office team they are so nice.

My experience with Dr. Godat and his entire staff after foot surgery in early February 2016, considerable follow-up and additional surgeries has been nothing but positive. Dr. Godat treated me as a whole person and did so with compassion, warmth and humor. He did not give up on me, answered my questions and provided excellent advice. Dr. Godat and each member of his staff are empathetic, caring and encouraging. My foot is healed and I could not have done it without them. Dr. Godat is an exceptional doctor and surgeon and has my wholehearted recommendation.

Thank you to the entire Godat Plastic Surgeon team!!!
Before going to Dr. Godat I had two previous breast surgeries, a lift and implant replacement. Both of them after so many years started to “sag” again. They were heavy and my bra straps began to dig into my shoulders. I learned about the internal bra surgery and made my appt with Dr. Godat. He and his nurses explained the whole procedure and this was exactly what I was looking for! Fast forward to today, almost 9 months after the procedure I wish I would had known about this the first time and didn’t waste the time, money or pain on the previous two procedures. I recommend ANYONE wanting a breast Augmentation to go to him and couple it with the “internal bra surgery” my implants stay up, stay in place, and the only reason I wear a bra is for “decoration!” Dr. Godat and his staff are amazing, they explain and answered all my questions even if I asked them twice! Everything about this procedure was awesome. Now I’m not going to lie, recovery takes a bit more time and care… but for me it was 100% worth it!
I had a breast reduction, lift and liposuction done in October 2020. I must say I’m very pleased with the work performed. Since my surgery, I’ve recommended several people!
I had a breast reduction back in March of 2020 before Covid started and i must say I am PLEASED with the results! The staff was always friendly and very knowledgeable. I will be going back for some more cosmetic surgeries in the future.

Dr. Godat’s 25 years of experience helping patients get to the correct size of their breasts has enabled him to use techniques to preserve your ability to breastfeed even after the breast reduction procedure.
Although breast reduction is an invasive procedure, Dr. Godat will prescribe you aftercare instructions to avoid scarring and forming keloids from the procedure area. You will also be scheduled for follow-up checkups to ensure that your healing stage goes smoothly to achieve the best results.
You will notice results immediately upon completion of the procedure. However, it may take three to six months for the swelling to subside, which means size will still decrease after your breasts have naturally adapted their new size and contour.
Breast reduction is permanent. Many factors can affect your breast sizes, such as hormonal changes, weight gain, aging, diet, and gravity.
This is why we conduct thorough examinations to ensure that we achieve long-lasting results. Be sure to consult with Dr. Godat on how best you could maintain the results of your breast reduction surgery.
