New Mexico Breast Surgery

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

New Mexico Breast Surgery is quite popular today among women and even some men. According to statistics provided by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over half a million breast surgeries were performed in 2010. These procedures included breast augmentation, lift, reduction and breast reconstruction. While over 18,000 males underwent male breast reduction or gynecomastia.

Whether it’s breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction, breast surgery tops the list of plastic surgery procedures in many parts of the world, not only in through out the US and in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This time of year is also quite popular. Let’s explore the popular choices and summertime considerations.

Breast Augmentation: For an increase in breast size, you’ll want to consult with a plastic surgeon as soon as possible to review all considerations, including: the choice between saline or silicone implants, implant profile type, placement location, incision location and the style you’d like to have to best fit your profile. With summer vacation time being apt to be acceptable for work time off, the roughly one week recovery time may not be a burden to fit in so you can enjoy immediate benefits. In fact, advancement in breast surgery has significantly reduced the risk of discomfort following surgery when compared to previous decades allowing many women to return to work within a week.

Breast Lift: Summer also makes a good time for this procedure with recovery time being between a week or two. The reward is often apparent within a few weeks, which allows for a great fit into stylish summertime dresses, casual attire and bathing suits. Refined techniques used in the breast lift may make this procedure very appealing with the option for smaller more inconspicuous incisions.

Breast Reduction: Breast reduction offers relief from discomfort for many women, in addition to refining the breasts to be more in proportion with the rest of the body. Breast reduction is one cosmetic surgery procedure that is sometimes covered by insurance companies. Insurance companies determine whether or not the procedure is medical necessary, and if so often cover the cost of the procedure.

Male breast reduction also known as gynecomastia is becoming more and more popular as many men have witnessed the instant results with little or no discomfort. Additionally the recovery time is minimal and men are able to return to daily activities almost immediately, depending on the technique used to perform the procedure. Gynceomastia is not covered by insurance, but all in all breast reduction rewards offer a more fulfilling lifestyle for many.

Monday, February 28th, 2011

Tummy tuck and breast lift are two of our most highly requested combination procedures at our office in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

“Breast augmentation, Tummy Tuck, or Eyelid Surgery –A procedure can make a Difference”

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011

In today’s society the perfection of beauty is not hard to come by. More and more women are electing to go under plastic surgery to help them gain higher self confidence and to enhance their personal and professional life, as well as men. However, some individuals are lacking to forget that they do not need to get 5 to 10 procedures at once to look amazing. There are varies procedures, which can be performed that can help boost your look and spirit.

As we age, we tend to feel our self esteem slipping away with every year that comes. We tend to say “my eyes look tired,” “I just cannot seem to lose stomach bulges no matter how many times I work out,” and women tend to say “my boobs are being convinced by gravity to fall to my waist”. If you are such an individual, then a plastic surgery procedure may help you achieve your best appearance.

For tired eyes, a relatively simple plastic surgery procedure that can be performed is eyelid surgery, also known as blephroplasty. Eyelid surgery removes excess skin above the eye as well as removes fat buildups that can weigh down the eyelid giving you the look of being tired or angry. Additionally, for some eyelid surgery can improve vision, as there is no sagging skin or bags weighing over the eyelid causing blurred vision.

For individual seeking to tighten their abdominal area, abdominoplasty, also known as a tummy tuck may be appropriate. A tummy tuck removes excess fat and skin around the stomach and tightens the abdominal muscles to contour the stomach to a flatter firmer shape. A less invasive option to a tummy tuck is a partial tummy tuck, which offers a smaller incision and less down time compared to a traditional tummy tuck as it does not tighten the muscles in the stomach. Instead it only removes skin and fat from the abdominal area to flatten the stomach and tighten the skin.

For women seeking to lift, tighten and shape saggy breasts, breast lift may be right for you. Breast lift with breast augmentation is a also a common plastic surgery procedure performed on women who want to enhance their womanly attributes not only by lifting, but by augmenting the size of the breast. Breast lift with augmentation utilizes the use of a breast implant to create a fuller cup size while the lift, raises breasts to a more pleasing level.

If you are considering cosmetic surgery is important to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. During a consultation, questions, concerns, medical history, and your cosmetic surgery options and needs will be discussed and addressed. Ideal candidates for surgery are individuals with an idealistic understanding of what will happen before, during and after each procedure as well are in good physical and emotional health.

Breast Augmentation – Your Dreams Come True

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

The popularity of breast augmentation is a testimony to its safe and pleasing results.  Almost everyone knows a friend or relative who has breast implants. Women want to change their breast size or shape for a variety of reasons.  It ranges from wanting an improvement in their appearance, to restoring fullness lost in pregnancy or aging.  While other women pursue this surgery purely to achieve a larger cup size or possibly because they just desire symmetrical breasts.

Women generally report an increase of self-esteem after a successful breast augmentation.  More choices in clothing become available, the figure is more balanced, and size, shape, and voluptuousness are added to the breast.  The most important decision you can make regarding a breast augmentation is in your doctor.  If you are have been considering enhancing your breasts, then the next step to take is to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Dr. Miguel Gallegos is a cetified plastic surgeon. His office, Hermosa Plastic Surgery is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The two of you will also talk about possible risks, and he will answer any questions you may have regarding breast surgery.

If you are over the age of 18, you can be a candidate for implantation.  However, you should always discuss your full health history with a doctor before making a decision.  Some doctors prefer to wait on women who are in their early 20’s, as breasts are in their final stages of development then.  Another benefiting factor to consider is if you have enough excess body tissue to cover the breast implant.  Wrinkles in the implant may be felt and seen if you do not.  Adequate tissue means breasts will look more normal.  To aid in the most natural looking breasts, which are really oval, not round, Dr. Gallegos places the implants under the chest muscle.
