POV: You’re a plastic surgery resident.

One of the best parts of training? Getting a front-row seat to thousands of little lessons that don’t come from a textbook.

As Mississippi’s only academic medical center, we’re committed to training the next generation of surgeons through hands-on experience, mentorship, and exposure to complex cases that help shape future leaders in medicine.

Every case is an opportunity to learn, grow, and provide exceptional care for our patients.

Those little ears you love? We do too. ❤️ But if prominent ears are affecting your child’s confidence, a simple outpatient procedure can make a big difference.

Prominent ear correction (otoplasty) is a common elective procedure that can reshape and reposition the ears for a more balanced appearance. The surgery is typically performed on school-aged children and can help boost confidence while delivering natural-looking results.

At Children’s of Mississippi Plastic Surgery, our team performs this procedure regularly and works closely with families every step of the way.

Have questions about prominent ears or otoplasty? We’re here to help.

Meet Victoreya. 💙✨

Diagnosed with Pfeiffer syndrome at just 8 years old, Victoreya's journey has been anything but small — and neither is her story.

Through midface advancement surgery and years of dedication from her family and our craniofacial team, she is back to living life fully, doing what she loves, and shining bright.

Now, she's at a point where she gets to decide what comes next. And right now? She's happy — and that says everything.

If her journey ever calls for us again, we'll be right there. That's the COMPS promise. 💙

Modern plastic surgery was shaped in part by the challenges of World War I, when surgeons began developing new techniques to reconstruct severe facial injuries in wounded soldiers.

Those early advancements helped lay the foundation for the reconstructive and craniofacial care we know today.

This Memorial Day, we reflect on the history, sacrifice and innovation that helped shape modern medicine and reconstructive surgery into what it is today. 💙

Medical terminology can feel overwhelming, especially in the world of cleft and craniofacial care.

A big part of pediatric care is making sure families feel informed, supported and comfortable asking questions every step of the way!🌈💙

Meet Gabby and Allie: two very important members of the team. 🐾💙

For kids facing surgeries, appointments, or long hospital days, therapy dogs can bring comfort, distraction and a sense of calm when it’s needed most.

Sometimes healing looks like medicine… and sometimes it looks like a wagging tail.

Everyone say “HI” to Bella!

16-month-old Bella was born with a cleft lip and palate and underwent nasoalveolar molding (NAM) to help prepare for her lip and palate repair surgeries. Since then, she’s continued to thrive! Growing into a happy, joyful little girl who keeps everyone around her smiling.

We’re so proud of Bella and everything she’s accomplished already! 💙
