Breast reduction reduces volume and repositions the breast — relieving chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and posture problems caused by overly large breasts.
A breast reduction removes excess breast tissue and skin, reduces the overall volume, and reshapes and lifts the breast simultaneously. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a higher location as part of the procedure.
Beyond aesthetics, breast reduction often has significant functional benefits: relief from chronic back, neck and shoulder pain, elimination of skin rashes beneath the breast fold, better posture, and the ability to exercise more comfortably.
Many patients describe breast reduction as one of the most life-changing procedures they have undergone — both physically and emotionally.
Dr. Chung designs each reduction individually to achieve both physical comfort and aesthetic harmony.
Reduction of breast weight relieves chronic back, neck and shoulder pain — often immediately after surgery.
Removes excess glandular tissue and fat for breasts proportional to your height, weight and frame.
The nipple-areola complex is raised to the correct anatomical position for a natural, youthful appearance.
Eliminates chronic skin irritation and rashes under the breast fold caused by excess weight and friction.
Better posture and improved ability to exercise with a more comfortable, lighter chest.
Differences in size between both breasts are corrected simultaneously during the reduction.
Dr. Chung and his team accompany you throughout your entire recovery to ensure the best possible results.
Temporary changes in nipple sensitivity are common. Permanent changes are possible but uncommon. Dr. Chung uses techniques designed to preserve nipple sensation and blood supply.
Breastfeeding ability may be reduced depending on the technique used. This is discussed at the consultation based on your anatomy and future plans.
In Mexico, breast reduction is typically an out-of-pocket expense. In the US, it may be covered when documented medical necessity exists (chronic pain, skin conditions). The cost in Guadalajara is significantly lower regardless.
The amount removed varies by case. Dr. Chung works with your goals and body proportions to determine the appropriate reduction for your frame.
Most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks. A surgical bra is worn for several weeks. Strenuous activity is avoided for 4–6 weeks. Most patients report that the recovery is well worth the results.
