Breast Reduction
in Winnipeg, Manitoba at The First Glance
If you have oversized breasts that cause back pain, shoulder pain, headaches, and overall body fatigue, it can be emotionally and physically draining. Larger breasts can change shape and sag due to weight fluctuation, aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. The additional weight can give you poor posture, neck pain, shoulder pain, and skin irritation. All the physical problems that come along with excess breast tissue may cause you to feel uncomfortable in your own skin.
Breast Reduction surgery resizes, reshapes, and repositions your breasts to fit your body frame so you will look and feel more proportionate. Smaller, lighter, and firmer breasts are created by removing your excess fat, excess tissue, and excess skin so you can look and feel your best.

Your Custom Breast Reduction Surgery Plan
When it comes to aesthetic surgery of any kind, there’s no such thing as one size fits all. Every patient has their own unique surgical needs. Whether you are interested in a subtle natural look or dramatic bombshell results, your Breast Reduction will be fully customized according to your existing anatomy, unique surgical requirements, and desired aesthetic results.
The Benefits of Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction is performed to reduce the weight and volume of your breasts, returning them to a youthful shape and size.
- Excess fatty tissue in the breast, along with glandular tissue and excess skin, is removed.
- Areolas (dark skin around the nipple) are reduced in size to match your newly reduced breasts.
- Reduces back pain, neck strain, and shoulder grooving from bra straps.
- Improves posture.
- Performed under general anesthetic in 1.5 to 2 hours most commonly through an “anchor” or “lollipop” incision. Some select cases may be performed by liposuction alone through tiny incisions.
- Your breast reduction surgery will be custom-tailored to your unique needs. Individual results may vary.
Types of Breast Reduction Surgery
Depending on the size of your breasts, an anchor or vertical method may be used.
The vertical method leaves you with a lollipop-shaped scar, which goes along the areola and straight down toward your natural breast crease. The anchor method has an extra incision under the breast along its natural crease. This leaves a scar that looks similar to an anchor. These Breast Reduction methods vary in complexity and are altered to each patient’s specific needs.
After the removal of some fatty tissue located inside of the breast, your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will use the rest of your own breast tissue to reshape and give your breasts a “perky” look. This leaves for a very natural look and feel for the breast as your own tissue is being used after the Breast Reduction is performed.
Additional Procedures
Popular surgeries typically performed with Breast Reduction include Breast Lift, Internal Bra, Liposuction, Tummy Tuck, or a complete Mommy Makeover.
Choosing Your Surgeon
When considering a surgeon, it’s important to research all of your options and choose a specialist who is Board Certified in both Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. While many plastic surgeons perform Breast Reduction surgery, you should select a surgeon who focuses strictly on aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery and is recognized for excellence in this procedure.
What are the benefits if your surgeon has a reconstructive surgery background?
Most of the world’s best aesthetic surgeons began with reconstructive practices. In fact, almost all of the groundbreaking techniques in aesthetic surgery have reconstructive origins. Reconstructive surgery cases are typically more complex and often require highly specialized surgical techniques. Comfort, confidence, and predictability with advanced reconstructive surgery techniques have become powerful tools often adapted to aesthetic procedures.
At the First Glance Aesthetic Clinic & Surgery Centre, all of our surgeons are Board Certified Aesthetic & Reconstructive Plastic Surgeons, which is the highest level of achievement a Plastic Surgeon in Canada can obtain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Recovery Like After Breast Reduction Surgery?
As with most aesthetic surgeries, you will need to take time to recover. The recovery period will be different for each patient, depending on the extent of the operation and the patient’s health.
You will have bandages in the area for the first few days. There will be swelling, discoloration, and bruising, but this should diminish in a week or two. You may return to work and resume daily activities after one week. Avoid any straining, bending, exercise, or lifting for 4 to 6 weeks.
What Is The Cost Of Breast Reduction Surgery?
Every Breast Reduction is a customized procedure, so the cost can vary significantly. In general, the cost of Breast Reduction surgery ranges from $7,500 to $10,000. The exact cost is determined by your existing anatomy, unique surgical requirements, and desired aesthetic results. The extent of your procedure will determine the exact cost. If you require additional surgical time or additional surgical procedures to achieve your desired aesthetic results, that will be reflected in your quote.
The surgeon you decide to work with is the #1 determining factor on the results you’re going to achieve. Plastic Surgeons price their procedures according to the quality care and surgical skills they bring to their patients. Seeking a surgeon based on price often leads to undesirable results, and the problems that come along with it are often complex (and costly) to fix. Ask anyone who has undergone revision surgery; it’s a lot less expensive to get it done right the first time.
You will receive an exact quote after your consultation with your Plastic Surgeon. Quotes are valid for 6 months from the date they are printed.
