Body Contouring Liposuction Albuquerque, NM | Dr. Miguel L. Gallegos, MD

Understanding Liposuction in Albuquerque

Liposuction is an advanced body reshaping procedure designed to eliminate stubborn fat pockets that resist diet and exercise. At Hermosa Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Miguel Gallegos offers innovative techniques to help patients achieve a more sculpted and confident physique.

Procedure Overview

Dr. Gallegos specializes in two primary liposuction techniques: traditional and tumescent liposuction. Both methods effectively remove excess fat deposits from targeted body areas, creating a leaner, more proportionate appearance.

Benefits of Liposuction

• Eliminates stubborn fat from problem areas
• Slims and tones body contours
• Enhances body symmetry
• Minimal scarring
• Quick recovery period

Tumescent Liposuction: Advanced Fat Removal

Tumescent liposuction represents a cutting-edge approach to fat removal. This technique utilizes local anesthesia and specialized fluid injections, reducing risks associated with traditional surgical methods while providing precise body contouring.

Ideal Candidates

Optimal liposuction candidates are individuals at or near their ideal body weight with localized fat deposits and good skin elasticity. The procedure targets specific areas that do not respond to traditional weight loss methods.

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

During the liposuction procedure, Dr. Gallegos uses advanced techniques to gently remove fat cells. The surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, with recovery times varying based on the treatment areas. Patients can typically return to normal activities within one to two weeks.

Maintaining Results

While liposuction permanently removes fat cells, maintaining results requires a consistent diet and exercise regimen. Dr. Gallegos recommends staying within 5-10 pounds of your post-surgical weight to preserve the procedure's aesthetic outcomes.

Comprehensive Consultation

Hermosa Plastic Surgery offers personalized consultations to determine the most effective liposuction approach for each patient's unique body goals. Dr. Gallegos will develop a customized treatment plan addressing individual concerns and expectations.
