New Mexico Liposuction

March 21st, 2011

Liposuction is popular this time of year in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Sante Fe. With upcoming days at the pool in your swimsuit, outdoor sporting activities in form fitting clothing, and galas throughout the day and evening, you’ll want to feel and look your best. So, there’s no better time to consider liposuction than now! Now, it’s time to learn what to consider.

The Many Choices of Liposuction

The beauty about liposuction is that the procedure can permanently remove small bothersome deposits of excess fat from many areas of the body for a slim, trimmed down appearance. Areas include the abdomen, hips, flanks, back, thighs, and arms. However, it is important to remember weight gain can have an effect on results.

Liposuction may also be incorporated into other plastic surgery procedures, such as, the body lift, breast augmentation or facial plastic surgery. It’s not uncommon to treat more than one area because of the reasonable cost, as well as, the advantage of providing uniformity for all areas.

Board Certification

Advertisements may display the title of board certified cosmetic surgeon, but the type of board certification is important for people interested in liposuction to consider. There are different types of physicians that may advertise for performing Liposuction. These physicians may associate themselves with any one of many types of boards. Yet, the American Board of Plastic Surgery is the only board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. So, the American Board of Plastic Surgery adheres to the highest standards of the American Board of Medical Specialties.

Techniques

There are several methods that may be used to perform liposuction. Some plastic surgeons prefer one technique over another. Dr. Gallegos has the advantage of many years of experience so he is keenly familiar with all the tried and true techniques to be able to identify the best technique for you.

Liposuction couldn’t be better than with Dr. Gallegos. His patients have retuned time and time again for his advice about plastic surgery and are not only local to Albuquerque, but travel from Sante Fe and Roswell, New Mexico as well.

Liposuction May Help You Achieve Your New Years Resolution

December 23rd, 2010

The Holiday’s are here and it’s not unusual for people to start to think about setting their New Years resolution. Weight loss goals or goals to enhance the body to a more pleasing shape are often top choices. This could be due to all the holiday feast enjoyed over Thanksgiving and Christmas. During the holidays people often indulge in brunches, luncheons, cookie swaps, happy hours and exquisite dinners. But, however good the treats look individuals often try to limit themselves due to the little voice in their head telling them “don’t forget to maintain/watch your weight”! Some listen, some don’t, but this voice helps people set fair expectations for what delightful meals over the holiday season they should enjoy fully and what to limit.

By the same token, the New Year follows the Holiday Fests, which is then the perfect time to set your body goals. Most luckily, following the New Year shedding some pounds gained is not too difficult for some and more difficult for others. Diet and exercising are all things people turn to, and when results are not fully achieved, liposuction may just help. Liposuction can contour your body to a more pleasing shape so a person can be fit, right after the holiday season. Fat buldges can be smoothed out by liposuction.

Good news, Liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure when compared to some other procedures of cosmetic surgery. Liposuction may be done under local anesthesia and sedation, which allows a patient to return home in a few hours following the procedure. General anesthesia maybe used if appropriate, however a few more hours in the recover room may be required before going home after liposuction.

Following the days after liposuction, you will be able to do most of your typical activities. A compression garment is often required to wear over the treatment area. Nevertheless, most people don’t mind this since the garment gives a tightened up tone, whilst suppressing inflammation and swelling. Liposuction provides great results for the thighs, abdomen, back and love handles. Individuals following liposuction often report feeling rejuvenated and have a higher sense of self confidence.

Liposuction may be right for you and can be performed in conjunction with another type of procedure of plastic surgery. Cosmetic Surgery procedures often performed with liposuction are injectables, like Botox and Dysport, gynecomastia for men; and for women wanting to achieve optimal curves, breast augmentation.
