Kent (Kye) Higdon, MD

Dr. Higdon is a brilliant surgeon, a master in the art of plastic surgery. Breast reduction is the best decision I've made for myself. As a mom of four, my breasts had been through the ringer. Dr. Higdon's bedside manner is absolutely outstanding, as a nurse myself I've encountered hundreds of physicians and he is at the top of that list.

Dr. Higdon is such a kind man. He helped me with anything I asked about. I got FTM top surgery a month ago and I am more than pleased with the results! I had zero issues with this doctor, and if you're trans I could not recommend him enough!!

I had reconstruction surgery on 12/27/2019 with Dr. Higdon. He was a very professional, thorough and compassionate surgeon. He has a gentle and kind spirit. He cares and respects his patients and wants to give them the results they desire. I am very happy post-surgery.

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2014. After undergoing a bi-lateral Mastectomy I had reconstruction. Dr. Higdon did a wonderful job and I was very happy with my results. It was discovered in the last few years that the textured implants can cause a rare cancer so I inquired about changing them. I had them changed in December of 2019. I had very little if any pain afterwards. I followed my post op instructions to the tee. I am now 6 weeks out and I am very thankful I went ahead and had the procedure. Dr. Higdon is a wonderful plastic surgeon. He is attentive, a perfectionist, and a great communicator. I love my new "breasts". btw, he does lipo as part of the surgery and I did have some bruising. I simply wore my compression garment or spanx and I got an excellent result.

Dr Kye Higdon came recommended to me through the Vanderbilt Breast clinic that I had used in 2012. I previously had a prophylactic double mastectomy due to high risk/cancer. Also reconstruction with expanders then implants under the chest muscle wall. Over time the implants moved their way toward the armpits. I could flex the muscles and see the implants very clear. On my yearly check-up NP Ms Mary would make comment to the movement and have I considered any options.I did later ask her for a referral within the Vandy orginazation that she thought would be a good fit for me, she then recommended Dr. Higdon. I made that appointment for next available new patient about 6 weeks out.In meeting Dr Higdon he was polite and apologized for running behind. Very professional asking how he can help me. Immediately, he agreed that the implants needed replaced and why, also what he felt he could do for reconstruction options. Surgery was approved and scheduled for 11-8-19. As Dr consulted with me drawing up his plan prior to doing the surgery, he informed me and thought I was a good cantidate of a new procedure "Converted to prepectoral implant reconstruction". It also included Liposuction to fill in the boney gaps. I was in agreement and trusted his judgment for my situation. It has been a week since surgery and I am doing well. I have had both drains and 6 stitches removed and free to move about the day with weight restrictions. I do have the Tegaderm covering the breast area for another week and then final post op next week. I anticipate being on light duty, sleeping upright for another 5 weeks and it is worth the inconvenience I am experiencing for now!I do highly recommend Dr Higdon for any type of breast reconstruction surgery as he is compassionate, caring and a great listener! I asked him can I give you 10 stars?

Dr. Higdon recently performed my second breast augmentation; I would highly recommend him, not only does he have a wonderful bedside manner he is very skilled surgeon. Dr. Higdon is very professional and caring physician, making me feel comfortable along with the confidence to achieve the results I wanted. Thank you Dr. Higdon and his wonderful staff.

Dr. Higdon and his team are amazing. I had DIEP flap surgery followed up by nipple reconstruction, scar revision and fat grafting. He was able to turn my nightmare of radiated, failed implant tissue into something beautiful and lively. Compassionate, caring, yet firm on what needs to happen to get the best results.

I am most appreciative of Dr. Higdon and what he means to my husband and me. He does excellent work, answers all questions, and puts you at ease. He has been my surgeon for several years, in fact when he was assistant to another surgeon. I would recommend him as the BEST for his workmanship and his personality is an absolute plus. His staff is great also. During my reconstruction several surgeries were required. I don't like to rate physicians ( I've had some not so good) but Dr. Higdon is probably my favorite of all time!

When I was diagnosed with breast cancer several months ago, I picked Dr. Higdon as my reconstructive surgeon because a friend of mine highly recommended him. I am glad she did. Not only is he a great surgeon but also a wonderful person. He is a good listener and always tries to answer my questions. My husband and I love him!!! I want to highly recommend him to others!

After being diagnosed with breast cancer and having a mastectomy, Dr. Higdon performed reconstruction surgery. I always had confidence in Dr. Higdon’s care and experience. He was willing to answer questions and put me at ease with the process.
