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.

I had an exciting experience with Dr Godat. After my gastric bypass surgery in 2016. I ended up with a wrinkle stomach. Dr Godat did my tummy tuck in 2019. Surgery was successful but scar was a bit too high. He reconstructed the tummy tuck in 2020 and it looks amazing. So so happy. Love the entire place. Evrryone is so friendly and caring.. I highly recommend Dr Godat. Thank You Dr Godat

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Godat and his staff. I had my tummy tuck with muscle repair on March 1, 2021. My incision line is PERFECT and low from hip to hip! His staff is top notched. They’re professional, remember your name and greet you with a smile coming and going. Anytime I have a question, I get an answer verbally and/or within an hour if I ask via email. This is unheard of!! When my drains and stitches were removed, the staff was very gentle and eased my anxiety – priceless!I’m forever grateful and highly recommend Dr. Godat!

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!

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.

FAQ

Will my insurance pay for my breast surgery?

Dr. Godat’s approachable team is experienced in what insurance is looking for to be marked as eligible for coverage. Breast reduction isn’t solely for aesthetic purposes, which is why we may be able to help you have your insurance provider approve the breast reduction surgery.

After examination with Dr. Godat, we will provide you with a decision regarding medical eligibility.

How long does it take to find out if insurance will pay?

Each insurance provider has its timeline to approve specific procedures. This entire approval process can take about 1-6 weeks. After consulting with us, we submit your preliminary details to your insurance company within three business days. We will notify you of the decision immediately.In cases where your insurance provider didn’t approve your surgery, we offer you a flexible payment plan.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! We work with CareCredit to provide you with convenient, low-interest financing for any of our plastic surgery procedures.

CareCredit like a credit card that is used exclusively for healthcare and cosmetic surgery services.

In addition to using CareCredit financing for surgery, you can use your card for follow-up appointments or additional procedures so that you can schedule appointments to fit your lifestyle.

Can I still breastfeed after my breast reduction procedure?

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.

Does breast reduction leave scars?

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.

When should I expect to see the final results of my breast reduction procedure?

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.

Can my breasts grow back to their previous size after the reduction?

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.
