Breast Augmentation in Nashville, TN
Enhance Breast Volume & Shape
Breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures. The goal of the surgery is to increase the volume and improve the shape of the breasts. This can be accomplished with implants — saline or silicone — or through fat transfer.
Women seek breast augmentation surgery in Nashville for numerous reasons, including asymmetry, a loss of fullness after having children or losing weight and a general dissatisfaction with the size. The procedure can be combined with a breast lift to address severe sagging, as well.

Why We're Nashville's Top Choice
During Your Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast implants can be placed either above or below the chest muscle, with incision location based on your anatomy, implant choice, and personal goals. Dr. Davis will review all options with you to create a customized surgical plan. Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia at the Atrium, an accredited specialty operating facility at Centennial Hospital, with close monitoring and detailed aftercare guidance provided for a smooth recovery.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Most clients return home the same day as their procedure. You can expect some swelling, bruising and discomfort after surgery. Dr. Davis recommends taking a week off from all activities to rest and recover.
Wear a supportive bra to help with healing. After the first week, you may be able to return to light physical activity, resuming your usual activities within about 6 weeks. Dr. Davis will determine when you are ready for physical activity as individual healing times can vary.
Breast Augmentation Results
Keep in mind that results will not be instantly visible. Time is needed for swelling to go down and the implants to settle into place. Most patients are able to see their final results within 3 to 6 months, though individual healing times vary.
If you ever feel concerned about how your implants look, do not hesitate to contact us. While what is concerning you will likely be part of the natural healing process, our practice is always here for you.
