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.
