Melinda Haws, MD, FACS

I consulted with 5 doctors and booked with the 4th one before finding Dr. Haws. I did my research prior to the consults and I knew exactly what I wanted. I’m a 37 year old mom. I have high standards for beauty and take care of myself, but I wanted believable implants. I didn’t want a stranger to have any idea they weren’t real. At the same time, I wanted full natural, round breasts that were definitely nice without going huge. I’ve always hated my breasts, but learned to live with them. Something finally shifted in me and I felt like I had learned to live with enough. I knew it would make such a huge difference bc they were the only part of me that I absolutely hated. They aged me and hurt my confidence. I met a girl who heard Dr. Haws specialized in natural, which was not what she wanted. I was on the fence about “natural” too. It can mean so many different things to different people. I had taken my “wish” pics to 3 male doctors who tried to talk me into going bigger and getting a lift. One literally told me MY wish pictures weren’t what I wanted. Like hello - these are the pictures I’ve selected because it is what I find beautiful. I’m not here to get what you think is beautiful. The 4th surgeon I booked with was a great choice, but after hearing about Dr. Haws I followed my gut and went for a consult anyways. She was the 5th doctor I met with. I knew within 10 minutes that she was the doctor I needed. I clicked with her immediately. She was warm and professional. She looked at my wish pics and told me how close we could get, which was really close! She spent time helping me try on and select sizers. I felt safe with her. It was an immediate trust that I didn’t have with anyone else. I cancelled with the 4th surgeon and booked with Dr. Haws. I was really nervous about my surgery. It was an absolute breeze. I felt like I took a nap and when I woke up and was not in pain, but I stuck to the medications provided and followed the directions I was given. I had two days without my children and my husband acted as nurse. I’ve never had smooth medical experiences. So even though it went well, about two weeks after the surgery I started to convince myself that something could be wrong bc I had one spot that felt like an air pocket. I called and they worked me in that day. I expected them to be semi annoyed by me. Dr. Haws’ nurse was so compassionate. I think she immediately knew I was fine, but she didn’t dismiss my concerns. She brought in the ultrasound machine and took her time examining and providing the evidence I needed to stop worrying. Don’t settle, keep consulting until you find your version of a Dr. Haws. Don’t let anyone convince you what you want is wrong. Dr. Haws doesn’t specialize in natural, she specializes in listening and delivering what you want. My only regret is not allowing myself to do this years ago. It has completely changed my relationship with my body for the better! So very thankful for my experience. I’m 8 months post op and still over the moon with my results.

I saw Dr. Haws for a bilateral breast implant exchange in February 2023. I originally had a breast augmentation when I was 19 and now that I'm 35 I was looking to fill out my womanly body more. I couldn't be more thrilled with my results! I worked in plastic surgery for 4-years myself, so I'm a good judge as to how the process should go. She's a good listener, gives honest input, answers all questions/concerns, etc. Her nurse Tasha is very responsive and helpful through the process as well. I'm now 6-months post-op and LOVE my breasts. I've become not only a patient of Dr. Haws, but also now see Megan for injectables and Griffin for laser services. I'm happy to have found a "home" and facility that I can trust in Tennessee. Look no further, go see Dr. Haws for a consultation today!

Dr Haws has done several of my procedures (thighs, tummy, breast, lipo). She listens to you and determines an appropriate course of action for your situation. Her work is outstanding and you will not be disappointed!

I can't say enough about Dr. Haws and her group. I'm very pleased with my back lift & scar reduction on my lower abdominal area. It was important for me that I trust the doctor and those around them! I am so pleased with my choice and experience.

Dr. Haws is phenomenal! She has a great wit, has a positive attitude and is very professional. She listened to what my desires were and end results for surgery were and she assured me that she could achieve my vision. She examined me thoroughly. They took pre op photos of me and then we went back into the patient room where she drew on my pictures showing me exactly what she was going to do. Then she showed me post op pictures of patients that had similar surgeries that showed me what I would look like post op. She spent quite a bit of time with me. I felt very comfortable talking with her and developed confidence in her abilities and skill set to operate on me. In pre op holding she came into my room and she explained my procedure to me again. She genuinely seemed excited for me to have this surgery. Post op, she did exactly what she explained to me and had drawn on my pictures. I love my results and I’m just 2 months post op. I’m going back later this year for another procedure.

I chose Dr Haws based on her reputation and her reviews. They were all stellar and I completely understand why! She was kind, she listened to my needs, gave her thoughts and let me decide. She went over the whole procedure and all of my questions with me. Her staff was great too. They are all really friendly. The office is clean and tastefully done. I was very comfortable with the whole experience.

Dr.Haws is truly a blessing! I had a breast augmentation by another doctor that needed revision 6 months later when the implants under the muscle started to bottom out. After my first appointment with Dr.Haws I felt so much peace and confidence that there was a fix. She took into consideration my body type and lifestyle, making the decision to place the implants on top of the muscle. She also swapped one of implants to make them match better in size, and revised my scar. I am BEYOND pleased with my results and couldn’t recommend Dr.Haws enough! Her and her team are AMAZING!

It’s been 2 weeks tomorrow since my breast lift procedure with Dr Haws. I actually made the decision with only one focus to have relief from shoulder and neck tension. At age 56 I really had no idea I would experience such amazing results. Within 3 days of surgery I felt instant relief and alignment in my shoulder blades. I also look so much better in my clothes not to mention the added confidence that I didn’t realize was missing. Dr. Haws and the staff are simply AMAZING. Best Decision I’ve ever made!

I am SO HAPPY with my results!!!! I look and feel so much better, it has done WONDERS for my confidence!!!! It is SO WORTH IT to go with Dr. Haws, she was excellent every step of the way, she gave me just what I wanted!!!! I feel like I can wear anything now and be happy in every outfit, including bathing suits!!!! A big THANK YOU to Dr. Haws for the big positive life change I’m so happy with!!!!!

I absolutely loved working with Dr. Haws. She made me feel comfortable and answered all of my questions in a knowledgeable yet approachable way. She made the process fun and easy. I will see her for any future procedures I decide to do.
