- What You Need to Know Before Your Procedure

More Than a Cosmetic Procedure: A Life-Changing Decision

Breast reduction is consistently one of the highest patient-satisfaction procedures in plastic surgery, and for good reason. Beyond the aesthetic improvement, most patients experience immediate relief from chronic physical discomfort that has affected their posture, mobility, and quality of life for years. At AngelesHealth, Dr. Medina approaches every reduction with the same precision and personalization, balancing proportion, symmetry, and natural contour.

You May Be a Good Candidate for Breast Reduction If You:

Experience chronic back, neck, or shoulder pain caused by the weight of your breasts

Have skin irritation or rashes beneath the breast crease

Feel your breast size limits your ability to exercise or perform daily activities

Are self-conscious about your breast size or have difficulty finding clothing that fits

Are a non-smoker or committed to quitting prior to surgery

Why Patients Trust Angeles

Built for international patients, run like a U.S. teaching hospital.

For over a decade, mothers from across the United States and Canada have chosen Mirador for cosmetic surgery. Three reasons they cite most.

Board-certified plastic surgeons

Every operating surgeon holds certification by the Mexican Council of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery (CMCPER) and has completed fellowship training at U.S. or European academic centers. Over 3,200 cosmetic procedures performed annually with a complication rate below 1.4%.

JCI-accredited surgical facility

Our 180-bed hospital holds Joint Commission International accreditation, the same standard applied to top U.S. hospitals, and operates 14 surgical theaters with full anesthesia and ICU support on-site. Cosmetic procedures are performed in hospital ORs, not outpatient clinics.

U.S.-based case management

A bilingual case manager in the U.S. is your single point of contact from your first inquiry through 90-day follow-up. They coordinate travel, insurance, surgical scheduling, and your communication with the operating team, so you're never on your own.

Start Your Consultation

Will breast reduction surgery relieve my chronic back and neck pain?

For most patients, yes, and often noticeably within the first few weeks of recovery. Overly large breasts place continuous strain on the cervical and lumbar spine, leading to chronic pain, poor posture, and shoulder tension. By removing the excess tissue responsible for that load, most patients experience significant relief alongside improved mobility and the ability to exercise comfortably. During your consultation, Dr. Medina will assess whether your symptoms align with those that respond best to the procedure.

Will there be visible scarring after breast reduction surgery?

Scarring is a natural part of the process, but Dr. Medina places incisions strategically, around the areola, vertically to the breast crease, and along the crease itself, so scars are largely concealed by clothing and swimwear. With proper post-operative care, most scars fade significantly within 12 to 18 months. Our team will provide a full scar management protocol after surgery to support optimal healing.

How long is the recovery, and when can I return to normal activity?

Most patients return to light daily activities and desk work within 1 to 2 weeks. Strenuous exercise and lifting should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks, and final results are typically visible within 3 to 6 months. Your AngelesHealth case manager will provide a personalized recovery plan before you travel and stay available for follow-up once you're home.
