Check the credentials.
Check current state licensure, then verify the specific board certification relevant to the clinician and proposed procedure. Different surgical specialties have different boards.
New Mexico Medical Board lookup ↗A considered
perspective.
A Rio Rancho clinic pathway. A national perspective.
Better questions for your next consultation.
Rio Rancho City Hall opens this New Mexico edition. UNM’s SRMC referral directory names Dr. Anil Shetty for plastic surgery. This profile connects that referral pathway with the Center of Excellence address, credential sources and a notebook for your appointment questions.
01 / The professional profile
Plastic and reconstructive surgery · Rio Rancho, New Mexico
UNM names Dr. Anil Shetty in its plastic surgery faculty and SRMC plastic surgery referral directory. His university biography lists American Board of Surgery certification; that is distinct from American Board of Plastic Surgery certification, which this profile does not assert. Professional source ↗
UNM describes his medical education at Bangalore Medical College and fellowship training in craniofacial surgery at the University of California, San Diego, and burn and reconstructive surgery at Westchester Medical Center. Ask about his scope for your particular concern. Official biography ↗
Appointment location: UNM lists plastic surgery among the clinics at its Center of Excellence, 3200 Broadmoor Boulevard NE, Rio Rancho, NM 87144. The SRMC referral directory names Dr. Shetty and gives (505) 994-7397. Confirm his current clinic session and exact building before traveling; the main hospital is separately addressed at 3001 Broadmoor. Official clinic information ↗
For your consultation, ask who will perform each part of treatment, which facility will be used and how follow-up will work. The profile identifies a professional and a practice; your assessment should establish whether a particular treatment fits your health, goals and circumstances.
An editorial profile, not a ranking, clinical assessment or claim of celebrity patients. The featured surgeon is not presented as the author or medical reviewer of this edition.
02 / Before you book
Four checks to make before choosing a date or paying a deposit.
Check current state licensure, then verify the specific board certification relevant to the clinician and proposed procedure. Different surgical specialties have different boards.
New Mexico Medical Board lookup ↗Ask about expected changes, limitations, alternatives and the important risks for you. Bring your medical history and a list of medicines and supplements; discuss them with the treating team.
ASPS patient safety ↗Ask where the procedure will take place, who provides anesthesia and how the team responds to complications. The consulting address may differ from the surgical facility.
ABMS Certification Matters ↗Request written recovery instructions, scheduled follow-up and an urgent contact. If you are traveling to Rio Rancho, ask how long to stay locally and when travel is appropriate.
Preparation & safety resources ↗The consultation mindset
Describe the concern in your own words. Ask what the proposed approach would change, what it would leave unchanged and whether postponing treatment or doing nothing is a reasonable option. Use reference photographs to explain a preference, without treating another person’s result as a promise. Prepare your consultation →
03 / Procedure conversations
Discussion guides for an individual consultation. These are general topics, not a statement that every procedure is performed by Dr. Shetty.
Implants, proportions and future follow-up belong in the same discussion. Be clear about the change you hope to achieve and the maintenance questions you want answered.
Ask your clinicianWhich options fit my anatomy, and what ongoing implant monitoring or future surgery should I consider?
Breast lift or augmentation? →A lift and an increase in volume address different concerns. Ask the clinician to explain the proposed incisions, expected scars and whether an implant is part of the plan.
Ask your clinicianWhat can a lift achieve on its own, and what are the trade-offs of adding an implant?
The breast lift conversation →Describe the specific areas that concern you and ask about the limitations of contouring. Skin quality and the overall treatment plan need individual assessment.
Ask your clinicianWhat would liposuction leave unchanged, and how will you assess skin and contour?
Liposuction or tummy tuck? →An abdominal consultation should connect your goals with an examination, recovery arrangements and the proposed extent of surgery.
Ask your clinicianWhere would scars sit, and what help, follow-up and restrictions should I plan for?
Abdominoplasty planning →Upper and lower eyelids can involve different concerns. Ask how your eye history and the examination affect available options.
Ask your clinicianWhich concerns would this plan address, and how will eye health be assessed?
Upper versus lower eyelids →Nasal appearance, breathing and any previous surgery are separate details to bring into the same consultation.
Ask your clinicianHow would the proposed approach address breathing, shape and existing asymmetry?
Rhinoplasty consultation checklist →For clinical information, use the ASPS procedure library ↗ alongside your treating team’s written advice.
04 / Understanding costs
U.S. national surgeon-fee benchmarks help frame questions. Your Rio Rancho treatment plan requires its own written quote.
| Procedure | Published average | Source and scope |
|---|---|---|
| Breast augmentation with implants | $4,875 | Implant-based augmentation · ASPS ↗ |
| Breast lift | $6,816 | Mastopexy · ASPS ↗ |
| Abdominoplasty | $8,174 | Tummy tuck · ASPS ↗ |
| Liposuction | $4,711 | Liposuction · ASPS ↗ |
| Upper eyelid surgery | $3,359 | Upper blepharoplasty · ASPS ↗ |
| Facelift | $11,395 | Facelift · ASPS ↗ |
These published averages do not establish the price of a particular surgeon, location or individual case. Fees may change. Ask the practice for surgeon, facility, anesthesia, implant or device, aftercare and revision terms in writing. The table’s source year is separate from the 2025 procedure-count charts below.
Start with your personal written estimate, then check what is included before adding amounts to the worksheet. Do not count an anesthesia or facility charge twice if it is already included in a package. Ask whether consultation, prescriptions, garments and follow-up are extra. Read the CPS U.S. cost guide →
Ask UNM SRMC Plastic Surgery whether there is a consultation fee, how any deposit is applied and which charges are included in your written estimate. No clinic-specific treatment price is asserted here.
05 / The consultation notebook
Two simple planning tools for your Rio Rancho, NM consultation. Use them to organize a discussion and a written quote with your treating team.
Prepare your conversation
Tick a topic once you have a clear answer. Bring any unanswered questions to your clinician.
A discussion aid, not a medical assessment. No answers or personal health details are collected.
Read the whole quote
Enter amounts from your own quote or estimates. Every field starts empty; this worksheet does not suggest prices.
Confirm whether each amount includes taxes. This tool does not add taxes, estimate rebates or fill in missing costs. Enter a fee once; if a package already includes a category, avoid counting it twice.
Blank fields are unknown, not free. An entered subtotal is not a complete treatment quote. Ask what follow-up, revisions or unexpected care may cost.
Use non-negative amounts up to USD 1,000,000 per field, with no more than two decimal places. Figures and ticks remain only in this open page; nothing is sent or saved by these tools.
06 / The national perspective
ASPS 2025 statistics. U.S. national estimates provide context; they are not Rio Rancho procedure counts.
U.S. national estimates · number of procedures, 2025
Cosmetic surgery · % change, 2025 vs revised 2024
Source: ASPS 2025 report, printed page 9; methodology, page 40. These are statistically projected U.S. procedure counts based on data representing more than 3,000 board-certified surgeons. They are not unique-patient counts, Rio Rancho volumes or a measure of Dr. Shetty’s work or outcomes. ¹Breast augmentation includes primary and revision implant placement. The charts use different units and scales; growth uses the revised 2024 figures in the same report. Source: ASPS statistical report ↗
07 / City planning
Practical questions for Rio Rancho residents and people traveling to the city.
Before your appointment
UNM lists plastic surgery among the clinics at its Center of Excellence, 3200 Broadmoor Boulevard NE, Rio Rancho, NM 87144. The SRMC referral directory names Dr. Shetty and gives (505) 994-7397. Confirm his current clinic session and exact building before traveling; the main hospital is separately addressed at 3001 Broadmoor.
Around your treatment
Discuss transportation, accompaniment and help with everyday tasks before choosing a date. Ask your clinician about time away from work, local follow-up and travel arrangements appropriate to your procedure and health.
After your visit
Keep the treating team’s written instructions and urgent contact details. Confirm how concerns are handled after hours. The magazine’s enquiry channel is for editorial matters and cannot provide clinical follow-up.
08 / Frequently asked
A few details to clarify before contacting a clinic.
UNM lists him as plastic surgery faculty and names him in its SRMC plastic surgery referral directory. His university biography lists American Board of Surgery certification. This is not the same as ABPS certification; ask for current specialty certification and verify New Mexico licensure directly.
The featured consulting address is 3200 Broadmoor Boulevard NE, Rio Rancho, NM 87144; telephone (505) 994-7397. Confirm the named surgeon, clinic session and any surgical facility directly.
No. The table presents ASPS-published national surgeon-fee benchmarks, not local quotes. Anesthesia, operating facilities and related expenses are excluded. Ask the practice for an itemized personal quote. The worksheet only adds the amounts you enter.
Use Open Google reviews to visit Google Maps. On the published page, the live control can request the current aggregate rating and count when the site’s Google configuration permits it. Reviews are user feedback, not proof of credentials or a prediction of your result.
No. They show U.S. national estimates from the ASPS report, with the year and scope identified. They are not Rio Rancho counts, unique patients or a measure of Dr. Shetty’s activity.
Use the clinic’s official telephone or website for appointments. The separate CPS form prepares a WhatsApp or email draft for magazine enquiries, corrections, profile claims or feature applications. The visitor reviews and sends the draft in their chosen app.
