September 30th, 2011

Facelift in Albuquerque, New Mexico by Dr. Miguel Gallegos incorporates his superior scientific technical skills and artistic talents to turn back the hands of time. Just as people say beauty is in the eye of the be-holder, Dr. Gallegos has an eye for knowing how to bring out more youthfulness and radiance in people. Both women and men have traveled to Dr. Gallegos practice of plastic surgery in Albuquerque for his unique approach to facelift surgery.

Dr. Gallegos firmly believes in preserving your beautiful features, while providing a naturally appealing enhancement. In fact, Dr. Galleogos will conduct a thorough consultation with you to determine the best approach to plastic surgery. He will also inform you about alternatives and adjuncts to surgery. In some cases, you may not need a facelift when you could be better served by another type of procedure. In other cases, you may desire an additional procedure in order to have balance and harmony for your face.

Facelift Alternatives: Facelift alternatives may be appropriate for people who are not candidates for facelift surgery. One of these alternatives may be injectables such as Botox to diminish crow’s feet, wrinkles between eye brows and forehead lines. Facial fillers may be other alternatives because fillers fill in deep facial creases from the nose to the mouth. Yet, injectables and fillers will not improve facial sagging. Facial sagging and select wrinkles can only be improved by a facelift. Laser therapy may be advised to help prevent facial sagging and sun damage related wrinkles.

Adjuncts to Facelift Treatment: At times, a forehead lift or eyelid surgery may be adjuncts to facelift treatment. These procedures may be staged in two different treatment sessions for an optimal outcome. Sometimes, injectables, facial fillers, chemical peels and/or laser therapy may be adjuncts to treatment for an ideal outcome.

A consultation is the only way to identify an appropriate treatment plan and to discuss alternatives or adjuncts to treatment with you. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Gallegos invite you to schedule a consultation at his practice in Albuquerque.

Albuquerque Rhinoplasty

July 8th, 2011

Albuquerque rhinoplasty may be the words that you typed into your Internet browser, but your desires are likely to be very specific for nose reshaping. People interested in nose surgery often wish to preserve a sense of original identity, while altering an imperfection. You may be interested in rhinoplasty to smooth out an irregular nose bridge, refine your nasal tip, improve difficult breathing, augment or reduce the size of your nostril or nose.

People in Albuquerque considering rhinoplasty tend to be most interested in a subtle refinement that can bring out balance and harmony to the face. Of course, the results may seem dramatic with a resolution to imperfections that may have influenced your social or professional life. Still, the results of nose surgery are designed to be complimentary and natural looking. Both youths who are fully grown and adult males and females seek out nose surgery in Albuquerque. In fact, it’s a popular procedure which may be due, in part, to the vast majority of people in Albuquerque being young adults, with a median age of 34. This is a time when many people become more serious about nose surgery, free from school obligations, limited finances, or are no longer an adolescent unable to make such a treatment decision.

In terms of the procedure, people interested in nose surgery may be candidates for the open or closed rhinoplasty approach- both of which are sensibly priced for most people today. The open approach focuses on incisions made outside the nose in inconspicuous locations. The closed approach involves incisions made inside of the nose. The procedure is generally performed on an outpatient basis. The recovery time period may be up to a week, at which time swelling subsides. Recovery aids offer comfort throughout this time period. The results are then evident and often rewarding in more ways than one.

If you are interested in rhinoplasty, please contact our office of plastic surgery in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
