Breast Reduction in Chicago

If large breasts have made your daily life uncomfortable, breast reduction can bring lasting relief. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dino Mendez expertly reduces and reshapes the breasts for lighter, proportionate results tailored to your body and goals.

What Is A Breast Reduction?

Breast reduction, or reduction mammaplasty, is a procedure designed to help you live more comfortably in your body. It involves removing breast fat, glandular tissue, and skin to create a lighter, more proportionate shape that feels more comfortable.

The procedure repositions the nipples and areola as needed and, in many cases, liposuction refines the outer chest for a more natural contour.

Many women choose to combine breast reduction with complementary procedures such as:

  • Breast Lift: Further refines shape and nipple position

  • Tummy Tuck: Slims the waistline and repairs abdominal muscles

  • Mommy Makeover: Customized surgery to reshape the breasts and abdomen following pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or weight fluctuations

A reduction may be performed for medical or cosmetic reasons, providing symptom relief and aesthetic improvement.

Who's a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction?

Who should get breast reduction surgery? It's ideal for women who share these traits:

  • Nonsmokers, in good overall health, and at a stable weight

  • Have physical symptoms (pain, rashes, activity limitations)

  • Feel their breasts are out of proportion with their body frame

  • Have realistic expectations and can set aside time for recovery

In some instances, breastfeeding and nipple sensation may be affected. It's essential to discuss your goals with Dr. Mendez so that he can discuss techniques to preserve both.

If you’re considering a tummy tuck or mommy makeover, I can’t recommend Dr. Mendez enough. I had a 360 tummy tuck with muscle repair, and from my very first consultation, I knew I was in great hands. I went into surgery with a lot of fears and questions, and Dr. Mendez took the time to answer every one of them. He never made me feel rushed and always made sure I felt comfortable and confident moving forward. What really sets Dr. Mendez apart is the care he provides after surgery. He personally called me the morning after my procedure to check on me, and throughout my recovery, I was able to text him anytime I had a question or concern. Knowing I could reach my surgeon directly gave me so much peace of mind and made recovery much less stressful. My results have been life-changing. Not only do I love how I look, but I also feel so much better physically because of the muscle repair. My confidence has completely changed, and I feel stronger than I have in years. Dr. Mendez is not only an incredibly talented surgeon but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients. I’m so grateful I found him, and choosing him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re thinking about a mommy makeover or tummy tuck, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Mendez to anyone.

I cannot recommend Dr. Dino Mendez and his team enough! From the very first consultation, I knew I was in the best hands. Dr. Mendez is incredibly knowledgeable and truly takes the time to listen to your goals and concerns. The entire process was seamless. His staff is warm and professional, making me feel comfortable every step of the way. What truly stood out was the level of aftercare; Dr. Mendez went above and beyond and personally followed up with me after surgery to check on my recovery. My results are exactly what I envisioned and I am very happy.

Highly recommend Dr Mendez and his Naperville office staff. They were professional and kind every step of the way. Communication was excellent from my 1st appointment throughout the post-op process. His office staff (Kari, Courtney, and Heather) were amazing and knowledgeable. Would 100% use their services again.

I couldn’t be happier with my breast lift and implant exchange with Dr. Dino Mendez. The pre-op and post-op care was truly exceptional. Every question I had was answered with patience and kindness, and I always felt supported and cared for throughout the entire process. It’s clear that Dr. Mendez and his staff genuinely care about their patients and want them to have the best possible experience. The results have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Mendez is incredibly skilled, and the outcome is beautiful, natural, and exactly what I was hoping for. His attention to detail and expertise truly show in his work! If you’re considering cosmetic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Mendez. Exceptional care, outstanding communication (I literally texted him after my surgery with questions and he was always very responsive), and amazing results. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Dr. Mendez and your wonderful team!

I can’t recommend Dr. Mendez and his entire team enough! I had a mommy makeover with an implant exchange, and because of a third-degree burn I suffered as a child, my right breast never fully developed. Dr. Mendez had to correct significant asymmetry while also performing a lift, a small reduction, and an areola reduction. His attention to detail is truly amazing, and my results exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Mendez treated me with kindness, respect, and compassion, always making me feel comfortable during such a vulnerable experience. His pain management protocol made my recovery far easier than I expected. His staff is just as incredible. They make you feel like family and checked on me regularly throughout my recovery by text, phone, and during office visits. Their level of care goes far beyond surgery. I am 100% thrilled with my results. I now have the confidence to wear the clothes I’ve always wanted to wear. I’m so grateful to Dr. Mendez and his amazing team!
