Mastopexy Breast Lift Albuquerque, NM | Dr. Miguel L. Gallegos, MD

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and elevate sagging breasts. Dr. Miguel Gallegos at Hermosa Plastic Surgery specializes in creating natural, youthful breast contours through precise surgical techniques. The procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening remaining tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to achieve a more lifted appearance.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Candidates for a breast lift typically experience:

• Significant breast sagging
• Downward-pointing nipples
• Stretched or enlarged areolas
• Loss of breast volume and shape

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Gallegos performs breast lift surgery in the AAAASF-accredited surgical suite using general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes two hours and involves carefully placed incisions to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin is removed, breast tissue is reshaped, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to create a more youthful, lifted appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect to return home the same day of the procedure. Initial recovery involves wearing a medical compression bra and managing mild swelling and bruising. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, with full recovery typically occurring over several months.

Customized Approach to Breast Lift

Dr. Gallegos understands that each patient's body is unique. During the initial consultation, he conducts a comprehensive assessment to develop a personalized surgical plan that addresses individual aesthetic goals and anatomical considerations.

Potential Combination Procedures

Breast lift can be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation for enhanced results. Dr. Gallegos will discuss the most appropriate approach during your personal consultation.
