Breast reduction surgery, also known as reduction mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create smaller, lighter, and more proportionate breasts. This comprehensive procedure addresses both aesthetic and functional concerns for lasting relief.
For patients with significantly oversized breasts, standard breast reduction removes excess tissue and reshapes the breasts for optimal proportion and comfort. This approach provides comprehensive relief from physical symptoms while creating beautiful, natural-looking results.
This combined approach reduces breast size while simultaneously lifting and reshaping for optimal position and contour. This technique is ideal for patients who want both size reduction and improved breast shape and position.
Dr. Diaz also performs male breast reduction for gynecomastia, tailored to achieve a masculine chest contour. This may involve liposuction, excision of glandular tissue, or a combination approach, depending on individual needs.

In Beverly Hills, breast reduction prices can range widely. Your exact cost will depend on the complexity of your procedure, your specific needs, and whether you’re combining it with other surgeries. This usually includes surgeon’s fees, anesthesia, facility costs, and follow-up care. We offer flexible financing options to help make payments more manageable for your budget.
Many insurance companies cover breast reduction if it’s deemed medically necessary. To qualify, physical symptoms caused by your breast size, such as back pain, shoulder grooving from bra straps, or skin irritation, need to be documented. We can help you navigate the insurance process and determine your coverage eligibility.
Most patients return to work after 1 week. During the first week, you’ll need to rest and avoid lifting anything heavy. You’ll wear a soft surgical bra to support healing. Light activity can resume after 2-3 weeks, but avoid strenuous exercise for about 4 weeks. Always follow Dr. Diaz’s specific instructions for your case.
While some temporary loss of sensation is common, most patients regain nipple sensitivity within a few weeks. Dr. Diaz uses advanced techniques to preserve nerve connections, minimizing the risk of permanent sensation loss.
Many women can breastfeed after reduction. The ability depends on the surgical technique used and how much tissue is removed. Dr. Diaz employs methods that aim to preserve milk ducts and nipple connections when possible. If you’re planning future pregnancies, discuss this during your consultation.
There’s no set age limit for breast reduction. Teens with fully developed breasts experiencing physical or emotional distress may be candidates. However, it’s often recommended to wait until breast development is complete, typically around 18-21 years old. Each case is evaluated individually.
Breast reduction recovery is much more comfortable than people expect. Most patients describe the discomfort as moderate and manageable. The first 3-5 days are typically the most uncomfortable, but pain medication helps significantly. After the first week, discomfort usually subsides to mild levels.
Once breast tissue is removed, it doesn’t grow back. However, your breasts can still change size due to weight fluctuations, hormonal changes, or pregnancy. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results long-term.

Good candidates typically experience physical discomfort due to large breasts, such as back pain, neck pain, or shoulder grooving from bra straps. You should be in good overall health, a non-smoker, and have realistic expectations. During your consultation, Dr. Diaz will evaluate your candidacy.
Breast reduction carries risks like infection, bleeding, delayed wound healing, or changes in nipple sensation, but Dr. John Diaz’s meticulous technique significantly reduces complication rates. He reviews all risks during your consultation based on your anatomy and health.
Yes, breast reduction leaves permanent scars, but Dr. Diaz places incisions carefully so they’re hidden under clothing and typically fade considerably within 12–18 months. Most patients feel the relief and aesthetic improvement far outweigh the scarring.
The amount removed depends on your symptoms, anatomy, and goals, and Dr. Diaz customizes each reduction to create a proportional, balanced shape. Some patients see a dramatic size change, while others prefer a more conservative reduction.
Most patients return to light work within 7–10 days, with exercise and heavy lifting restricted for about 4–6 weeks under Dr. Diaz’s guidance. Full healing continues for several months as swelling gradually resolves.
Yes — many patients experience significant relief of back, neck, and shoulder pain after breast reduction, and Dr. Diaz designs each procedure to optimize both comfort and aesthetics. The improvement is often noticeable within days to weeks.
