Volume isn't always the issue—sometimes it's simply positioning.
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.
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.
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.
We evaluate your breast position, skin elasticity, and goals to determine the right surgical approach.

Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes one to three hours, depending on the extent of the lift.

Choosing mastopexy in Jackson and Flowood, MS, is as much about proportion as it is about position, and that takes real surgical judgment.
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.
