Breast Reduction
Breast reduction in Tijuana, Mexico at Russald Medical Center removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin, then reshapes the breast and repositions the nipple-areola to a natural height — typically at 60–75% below US pricing, about 20 minutes from the San Diego border. It is performed for both physical relief and aesthetic balance.
Overly large breasts (macromastia) can cause chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain, bra-strap grooving, skin irritation beneath the breast, and difficulty with exercise. Reduction mammaplasty addresses these symptoms while improving breast shape and proportion. The amount of tissue removed and the incision pattern are planned around each patient.
The procedure is commonly combined with a breast lift, since reshaping naturally raises and firms the breast. Your surgeon reviews the surgical plan, expected scarring, and recovery with you before anything is scheduled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Breast reduction pricing depends on the amount of tissue removed and whether a lift is included. At Russald Medical Center, the cost is 60–75% less than comparable US clinics. Contact our team with your goals for a personalized quote.
Most patients return to desk work in about 2 weeks and to full activity, including exercise, in 4–6 weeks. Swelling settles gradually and the final shape becomes visible over 3–6 months. A supportive surgical bra is worn during early healing.
Breast reduction involves incisions, so some scarring is expected — usually around the areola and vertically down the breast, sometimes along the breast crease. Scars fade over time and are positioned to be concealed by a bra or swimsuit. Your surgeon explains the expected incision pattern during your evaluation.
Breastfeeding may still be possible after a breast reduction, but the procedure can affect milk supply because some glandular tissue and ducts are removed. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss it with your surgeon before surgery so the technique and timing can be considered.
Yes. Reducing breast volume naturally allows the breast to be reshaped and lifted in the same procedure, so a lift is typically part of a breast reduction rather than a separate surgery. Your individual plan is confirmed during your evaluation.
Breast reduction safety depends on the surgical team and the facility, not the destination. At Russald Medical Center, the procedure is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons in an accredited surgical suite with anesthesiology on site. Tijuana sits about 20 minutes from the San Diego border, which keeps in-person follow-up accessible for U.S. patients. A pre-operative evaluation is required before any procedure is approved, and the risks are reviewed with you beforehand. An English-speaking coordinator manages your case from first contact through post-operative follow-up.
This lets us show you the right treatments and match you with the right specialist.
