Restore the Shape That Time and Gravity Have Changed

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight change, and time can all cause breasts to lose their original position, even when volume hasn't changed much at all. Because our team includes board-certified/eligible surgeons with decades of combined experience in breast surgery, we approach every breast lift in Jackson, MS, with close attention to shape and symmetry, not just lifting for its own sake.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes breasts that have begun to sag or lose their original contour. The procedure removes excess skin and repositions breast tissue and the nipple higher on the chest, without necessarily changing the size of the breast itself.

The Benefits of a Breast Lift

  • Restored Position: A lift raises breasts that have dropped due to pregnancy, weight change, or the natural effects of time.
  • Improved Symmetry: The procedure can address differences in position or shape between breasts.
  • Repositioned Nipple: Nipples that have shifted downward or point downward can be repositioned higher and more centrally.
  • Renewed Confidence: Many patients feel more comfortable in clothing and swimwear after restoring a more youthful contour.
  • Combination Potential: A lift can be combined with augmentation for patients who want both a change in position and volume.

Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?

A breast lift in Flowood, MS, is a good option for patients whose breasts have begun to sag or change shape, particularly following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuation, and who aren't necessarily looking for a change in size. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine whether a lift alone or a lift combined with augmentation is the right approach.

Your Breast Lift Results and Recovery

Most patients take about a week off from work and normal activities, with strenuous exercise and heavy lifting restricted for several weeks longer. 

Swelling gradually subsides over the following weeks, and final results become clearer as breasts settle into their new position over the following months.

A breast lift is considered long-lasting, though future pregnancy or significant weight change can affect results over time.

Breast Lift Jackson and Flowood, MS Frequently Asked Questions

Will a breast lift change my breast size?

A lift primarily addresses position and shape rather than size. If you're also looking to increase volume, we can discuss combining a lift with augmentation.

How long will my results last?

Results are considered long-lasting, though future pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight change can affect the position and shape of your breasts over time.

Will I have visible scarring after a lift?

Incision patterns vary depending on the extent of the lift, and scars typically fade significantly over the following months.

Can a breast lift be combined with augmentation?

Yes. Many patients combine a lift with augmentation to address both position and volume in a single surgery.

How long before I can return to normal activity?

Most patients return to work within a week, with a gradual return to exercise and strenuous activity over the following several weeks.
