Mayo Clinic's approach
Teamwork
Mayo Clinic's breast reduction surgery treatment teams include specialists in plastic and reconstructive surgery who subspecialize in breast procedures. All three Mayo Clinic campuses have a breast clinic that offers diagnostic and treatment services for people with breast problems, including benign conditions. These specialists work closely with other Mayo Clinic physicians for other health needs.
Having this specialized expertise in one place, focused on you, means that you're not just getting one opinion. The team discusses your care. You get quick test results. And there's an order to your appointment schedule.
What might take months to get done elsewhere can typically take only days at Mayo Clinic.
Experience
All of Mayo Clinic's plastic and reconstructive surgeons are board certified.
Your Mayo Clinic specialist will discuss surgery options and approaches with you and find the best treatment to meet your needs. Your plastic surgeon will discuss with you what you expect, possible risks and complications, costs and other issues.
