What is Breast Reduction Surgery?

At Hermosa Plastic Surgery, we recognize your desire to have breasts that you feel proud of and that complement your feminine figure, allowing you to wear clothes confidently. This is especially important for those with excessively large breasts. Our board-certified plastic surgeon in Albuquerque, NM, Dr. Miguel Gallegos, offers private consultations for women seeking breast reduction surgery due to excess breast tissue. Large breasts not only cause physical discomfort but can also impact a woman’s mental well-being.

Excessively large breasts often lead to feelings of insecurity and embarrassment, along with chronic neck and back pain. Dr. Gallegos has extensive experience performing breast reduction surgeries to help women restore their confidence and enjoy life with a more manageable breast size. By removing excess tissue and reshaping what remains, he can contour each breast to a balanced and proportionate size. In many cases, a breast lift is also performed to give the breasts a firmer, more youthful appearance. If you are interested in breast reduction surgery, please contact our office to schedule your consultation.
