The Mariposa Advantage

As the only Albuquerque plastic surgery center that's part of a large, physician-owned medical group, Mariposa Plastic Surgery offers you several unique benefits.

Real medical care. Your care is always supervised by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Morehouse. We obtain your detailed medical history to help ensure your safety. And we're able to refer you to other physicians within the group for medical care in other specialties.

Surgeries done in-house We perform most* procedures in our own certified operating rooms; we don't send you to a third-party surgical center. This helps us ensure you receive the highest quality of care.

Highly trained staff. Dr. Morehouse maintains board certification in plastic surgery, and that's important. Some providers who offer cosmetic enhancement procedures have no plastic surgery training at all; they're board-certified in an unrelated specialty (or they may not be board certified at all). Furthermore, all of our nurses hold Advanced Cardiac Life Support certification. Our aesthetician, Conrad Sanchez, holds the highest certification in his field: Registered Cosmetologist.

State-of-the-art technology. Mariposa Plastic Surgery currently owns the only Fraxel re:pair laser in the state of New Mexico. Unlike other Fraxel lasers you may have heard of, the re:pair model requires just a single treatment to achieve the maximum level of benefits: pigmentation correction, fine line smoothing, and skin tightening. We're constantly evaluating our treatment instruments and upgrading to the best, safest technology available, in order to serve you at the highest level.

Continuum of care. We've found most clients' needs change over time. You may start out just looking for a place to get BOTOX(tm) or skincare, and as time goes on, you become interested in advanced skincare, dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, or surgical procedures. Well, we've got you covered – from aesthetician services through cosmetic surgery, you can have it all at Mariposa.

Confidentiality. Because we operate as part of a medical group, we're bound by federal laws regarding the confidentiality of medical records. Beyond that obligation, however, everyone on the Mariposa Plastic Surgery staff is committed to safeguarding your medical information, and we all (including Dr. Morehouse) complete annual training on HIPAA compliance. On a practical level, we offer a separate clinic entrance for our cosmetic surgery patients so you can remain out of the public eye when attending post-procedure appointments.

Quality. We use the highest quality products available in the industry, from skincare products to breast implants. Dr. Morehouse personally evaluates all products used at the plastic surgery center before they ever reach you, our client. Further, we engage in constant quality improvement initiatives to make your cosmetic procedure experience as safe, efficient, and comfortable as possible. We're always interested in your feedback!

As you can see, when you choose Mariposa Plastic Surgery Center, you receive a unique array of benefits. But you don't have to take our word for it. Check out our client testimonials and then book a complimentary skincare or plastic surgery consultation to experience the Mariposa Advantage for yourself.

*The one exception is the full abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), for which we require you to stay overnight in the hospital for your safety and comfort post-surgically.
