What Is Breast Reduction?
Large breasts can lead to both social difficulties and physical discomfort for women. Additionally, disproportionate and overly large breasts may lead to feelings of self-consciousness and physical strain. Dr. Nicholas K. Howland, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has helped numerous women regain their confidence through cosmetic breast reduction procedures. Performed at Howland Plastic Surgery, this surgery eliminates surplus breast tissue and skin, reshaping the breasts to a more proportionate size. It also adjusts the size of the nipples and areolas, positioning them to match the reshaped breasts aesthetically. Book a consultation with our surgical team at our Draper, UT practice to learn more about this life-changing procedure.
What Happens During Breast Reduction Surgery?
Breast reduction surgery typically takes place on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. The length of the procedure is influenced by factors, such as the selected incision technique, the specific method of reduction, the extent of tissue to be removed, and the repositioning of the nipple and areola. Often, liposuction is employed to remove tissue and fat, contributing to a smaller breast size. Potential scarring, while expected, may become less noticeable with advanced surgical techniques, which will be discussed during the initial consultation with Dr. Howland. The surgery might involve either an anchor-shaped or a vertical incision based on the breast size and reduction goals. During the procedure, excess breast tissue is excised, and the remaining tissue and skin are reshaped and tightened.

Howland Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Howland did an amazing job with my breast augmentation. Quick appointments, very easy to get ahold of. Any questions I had were responded to immediately even after business hours. I felt very well taken care of.
This experience with Dr Howland and his staff has been amazing. He is an excellent surgeon and they have made sure to make me comfortable and keep me well informed through the entire process. I had a breast reduction and surgery/recovery went so much better than I anticipated. And they were always available to answer any questions or concerns. I am very happy with the results but had some concerns (not at all at the fault of dr howland) and he immediately was so understanding and offered a great solution making me feel a lot better! You can really tell that he cares about his patients and their happiness. I Will always recommended him to others and come back to him in the future if I decide to have anything else done.
I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Howland and his staff. Dr. Howland is so nice, funny and personable. You can tell he really cares about you as a patient and your personal goals. I had a breast reduction and know I made the right choice. I'm thrilled with the results! The stitching is flawless and my neck pain is gone. The staff is phenomenal too, always welcoming and taking the time to answer my questions. I was nervous the morning of my surgery and the CNAs who greeted me put me at ease right away. Dr. Howland and the whole OR team kept the amazing care going with their humor and by making sure I was comfortable. The surgery couldn't have gone smoother and I feel so much more confident now. I can't thank everyone enough!
Dr. Howland is amazing. Just now writing long overdue review. Had breast reduction. It changed my life. He is the best at his craft.
Dr. Howland is wonderful and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I consulted with another 5 star Top plastic surgeon but chose Dr. Howland because he was able to treat everything I wanted in one procedure and did an INCREDIBLE job as well as his warm disposition! I am so grateful. I always wanted a breast reduction and finally am in a size i am so happy with! They look AMAZING! He is very personable, is down to earth and has wonderful bedside manner. This is coming from a nurse! He listened to all of my concerns and took great care me. I don't typically do reviews unless I am compelled however I just had to give him the review that he deserves. These procedures are not a joke and they should be treated in kind. He was great! His staff is wonderful and responsive and there around the clock if you need them. I would recommend him 1000x over!
