Breast Reduction
in Scottsdale

Unlike most cosmetic procedures, breast reduction often qualifies as medically necessary and may be partially covered by insurance. Symptoms that support coverage typically include chronic neck, back, or shoulder pain, bra-strap grooves, skin rashes under the breast, and posture issues.

We can help you navigate insurance pre-authorization if that's a path you'd like to pursue. Not every patient qualifies for coverage, and the process can take months — but for those who do qualify, it significantly changes the financial equation.

Dr. Mata performs breast reduction using the Wise-pattern (anchor) technique, which allows precise control over final size, shape, and nipple position. Excess tissue and skin are removed, the remaining breast tissue is reshaped into a lifted cone, and the nipple is repositioned — while remaining attached to its blood supply and nerves.

The Wise-pattern leaves scars around the nipple, vertically down to the fold, and along the fold itself. These are significant scars — but they fade substantially over time, and nearly every patient tells us the trade-off was worth it.

Deciding on your final size is collaborative. Most patients aim for a proportionate C or D cup, though the right size depends on your frame, goals, and expected lifestyle. Insurance-covered reductions often require removing a minimum specified weight per side.

Dr. Mata will discuss your goals, review your frame, and show you realistic ranges at consultation. The goal is a breast that feels right for your body — not a preset number.
