Do you wish to restore the youthful appearance and firmness of your breasts? Here’s what you should know about receiving your breast lift (mastopexy) procedure in Colorado Springs, CO, from cosmetic surgeon Gregory J. Liebscher, MD, FACS.
Breast lift surgery, similar but different than breast augmentation, is a popular cosmetic breast procedure. This is especially true for older women who are unhappy with the shape or sagging of their breasts. A breast lift reshapes and raises the breasts to a more natural and comfortable position. The lift is done by removing the excess skin around the breast and positioning the tissues and nipples in a higher position.
By choosing a surgeon with skill and experience, you are best assured of safe, natural, and satisfying results for a breast lift or any cosmetic procedure. Gregory J. Liebscher, MD, FACS, is an ABPS board-certified and Mayo Clinic-trained plastic surgeon who has been in practice since 2002.
